Love Quotes Quote by Rachel Hawkins, Demonglass — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“You can love somebody without it being like that. You keep them a stranger, a stranger who's a friend.”

“If you truly want to be respected by people you love, you must prove to them that you can survive without them.”

“You dumb-ass," I crooned, kissing her on the forehead. "You don't share me. You own me.”

“She had loved him for such a long time, she thought. How was it that she did now know him at all?”

“May I kiss you then? On this miserable paper? I might as well open the window and kiss the night air.”

“It has made me better loving you... it has made me wiser, and easier, and brighter. I used to want a great many things before, and to be angry that I did not have them. Theoretically, I was satisfied. I flattered myself that I had limited my wants. But I was subject to irritation; I used to have morbid sterile hateful fits of hunger, of desire. Now I really am satisfied, because I can’t think of anything better. It’s just as when one has been trying to spell out a book in the twilight, and suddenly the lamp comes in. I had been putting out my eyes over the book of life, and finding nothing to reward me for my pains; but now that I can read it properly I see that it’s a delightful story.”
