“Surely I've explained to you before how much I enjoy watching the battle between love and virtue.”
“If, for example, I had just as much love as you had virtue (and that is surely saying a lot) it is not astonishing that one should end at the same time as the other. It is not my fault.”
“I love you far too much, I'm sure. But I don't know how to love you any other way.”
“Do you have any idea how much I've loved you?”
“I'm not sure you can appreciate how much I want to lay you out before me and make you scream my name.”
“You know the difference between news and gossip, don't you? News tells you what people did. Gossip tells you how much they enjoyed it.”
