“Did people never fall in love with anyone who was eager to return in?”

“Did anyone who was in love and was unsatisfied with how he was loved in return ever feel saved?”

“Anyone who loves in the expectation of being loved in return is wasting their time.”

“Every man would fall in love with their voice, their lovely appearance, but no man would ever get past that. They'd never really know the girls for who they actually were, never really love them. It would be impossible for any of the four girls to ever really fall in love and be genuinely loved in return.”

“Books loved anyone who opened them, they gave you security and friendship and didn't ask for anything in return; they never went away, never, not even when you treated them badly. Love, truth, beauty, wisdom and consolation against death. Who had said that? Someone else who loved books.”

“People who fall in love can fall out of it.”
