    J.K. Rowling
    “There was a clatter as the basilisk fangs cascaded out of Hermione's arms. Running at Ron, she flung them around his neck and kissed him full on the mouth. Ron threw away the fangs and broomstick he was holding and responded with such enthusiasm that he lifted Hermione off her feet.
    "Is this the moment?" Harry asked weakly, and when nothing happened except that Ron and Hermione gripped each other still more firmly and swayed on the spot, he raised his voice. "OI! There's a war going on here!"
    Ron and Hermione broke apart, their arms still around each other.
    "I know, mate," said Ron, who looked as though he had recently been hit on the back of the head with a Bludger, "so it's now or never, isn't it?"
    "Never mind that, what about the Horcrux?" Harry shouted. "D'you think you could just --- just hold it in, until we've got the diadem?"
    "Yeah --- right --- sorry ---" said Ron, and he and Hermione set about gathering up fangs, both pink in the face.”
    J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

    “DO NOT FALL IN LOVE WITH PEOPLE LIKE ME
    Do not fall in love with people like me.
    People like me will love you so hard
    that you turn into stone,
    into a statue where people come to marvel at how long
    it must have taken to carve that faraway look into your eyes.

    Do not fall in love with people like me.
    We will take you to museums and parks and monuments
    and kiss you in every beautiful place
    so that you can never go back to them
    without tasting us like blood in your mouth.

    Do not come any closer.
    People like me are bombs.
    When our time is up, we will splatter loss all over your walls
    in angry colors that make you wish your doorway
    never learned our name.

    Do not fall in love with people like me.
    With the lonely ones.
    We will forget our own names if it means learning yours.
    We will make you think that hurricanes are gentle,
    that pain is a gift.

    You will get lost in the desperation, in the longing
    for something that is always reaching,
    but never able to hold.

    Do not fall in love with people like me.
    We will destroy your apartment.
    We will throw apologies at you that shatter on the floor
    and cut your feet.
    We will never learn how to be soft.
    We will leave.
    We always do.”
    Caitlyn Siehl, What We Buried

    “When did you first fall in love?"

    with this boy who kept his glass ruler in the sunlight
    and made rainbows on my desk with it.”

    John Green
    “I'm in love with you," he said quietly.

    "Augustus," I said.

    "I am," he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.”
    John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

    Patrick Rothfuss
    “You see, women are like fires, like flames. Some women are like candles, bright and friendly. Some are like single sparks, or embers, like fireflies for chasing on summer nights. Some are like campfires, all light and heat for a night and willing to be left after. Some women are like hearthfires, not much to look at but underneath they are all warm red coal that burns a long, long while.”

    Fyodor Dostoevsky
    “I worship her, Alyosha, worship her. Only she doesn't see it. No, she still thinks I don't love her enough. And she tortures me, tortures me with her love. The past was nothing! In the past it was only that infernal body of hers that tortured me, but now I've taken all her soul into my soul and through her I've become a man. Will they marry us? If they don't I will die of jealousy. I imagine something every day...”

    Jodi Picoult
    “She puts her hands on either side of my face, and the room falls away. I have never gotten so lost in a kiss before.
    And then, the space between us explodes. My heart keeps missing beats and my hands cannot bring her close enough to me. I taste her and realize I have been starving.
    I have loved before, but it didn't feel like this.
    I have kissed before, but it didn't burn me alive.
    Maybe it lasts a minute, and maybe it's an hour. All I know is that kiss, and how soft her skin is when it brushes against mine, and that even if I did not know it until now, I have been waiting for this person forever.”
    Jodi Picoult
