...to be unkind because you are thoughtless is the worst kind of blindness.

How did you explain a thing it had not occurred to you to question? A thing you just knew, clear through to your soul?

How much easier my life would be if I did not love you! I thought. How much less painful, but how much plainer. How much less color there would be in the world.

Keep what you hold in your heart safe and strong.

Maybe all young men who love us become knights in shining armor when we love them back.

For in hope's absence, a miracle arrived

If you have to ask, you've never been in love. More than that, you've never had your feelings hurt by the one you want to trust and cherish you most of all.
