“But to see her was to love her, Love but her, and love forever.Had we never lou'd sae kindly,Had we never lou'd sae blindly,Never met - or never parted - We had ne'er been broken hearted”

“Had we never lov'd sae kindly,Had we never lov'd sae blindly,Never met -- or never parted --we had ne'er been broken-hearted”

“I had never known her before and I had never loved her so much. The more we know the more we love, I thought.”

“Not that she didn't love almost every boy she'd ever met, and not that every boy in the world didn't totally love her. It was impossible not to. But she wanted someone to love her and shower her with attention the way only a boy who was completely in love with her could. The rare sort of love. True love. The kind of love she'd never had.”

“He loved her, he loved her, and until he'd loved her she had never minded being alone....”

“She had nothing in this world but her two hands and her crazy love for Jesus, who seemed, for his part, never to have heard of her.”
