I will love you always. When this red hair is white, I will still love you. When the smooth softness of youth is replaced by the delicate softness of age, I will still want to touch your skin. When your face is full of the lines of every smile you have ever smiled, of every surprise I have seen flash through your eyes, when every tear you have ever cried has left its mark upon your face,I will treasure you all the more, because I was there to see it all. I will share your life with you, Meredith, and I will love you until the last breath leaves your body or mine.
– Laurell K. Hamilton

I know that the whole point—the only point—is to find the things that matter, and hold on to them, and fight for them, and refuse to
let them go.
– Lauren Oliver

– Leo Tolstoy

Sometimes she did not know what she feared, what she desired: whether she feared or desired what had been or what would be, and precisely what she desired, she did not know.
– Leo Tolstoy
Energy rests upon love; and come as it will, there’s no forcing it.
– Leo Tolstoy
