Romance Quote by Francesca Marciano — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Telling the truth can be a dirty job.”

“Are you lovers?”

“I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I had not waited even these ten days, could I have read your feelings, as I think you must have penetrated mine. I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing something which overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others. Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed. You do believe that there is true attachment and constancy among men. Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, in F. W.”

“Was it enough to wear the night with me just once? I am unsatisfied.”

“Because the stars have taken everything from me. My dream, my free will, my status, my family”, his voice thickened on that last word and pain sliced into my heart for him and all he'd lost. “And when there was almost nothing left to take, they gave me you.”

“At the end of the day your ability to connect with your readers comes down to how you make them feel.”
