“E com uma letra bem pequena, lá estava escrito no seu epitáfio: Tentou ser, não conseguiu; tentou ter, não possuiu; tentou continuar, não prosseguiu; e nessa vida de expectativas frustradas tentou até amar… Pois bem, não conseguiu, e aqui está.”
― Machado de Assis, Dom Casmurro

“Este último capítulo é todo de negativas. Não alcancei a celebridade do emplasto, não fui ministro, não fui califa, não conheci o casamento. Verdade é que, ao lado dessas faltas, coube-me a boa fortuna de não comprar o pão com o suor do meu rosto. Mais; não padeci a morte de D. Plácida, nem a semidemência do Quincas Borba. Somadas umas coisas e outras, qualquer pessoa imaginará que não houve míngua nem sobra, e conseguintemente que saí quite com a vida. E imaginará mal; porque ao chegar a este outro lado do mistério, achei-me com um pequeno saldo, que é a derradeira negativa deste capítulo de negativas: — Não tive filhos, não transmiti a nenhuma criatura o legado da nossa miséria.”
― Machado de Assis, Memórias póstumas de Brás Cubas

“Love's about finding the one person who makes your heart complete. Who makes you a better person than you ever dreamed you could be. Its about looking in the eyes of your wife and knowing all the way to your bones that she's simply the best person you've ever known.”
― Julia Quinn, The Viscount Who Loved Me

“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want?

― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“That what I need to survive is not Gale's fire, kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. And only Peeta can give me that.”
― Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay

“I love you with everything I am, everything I've been, and everything I hope to be. I love you with my past, and I love you for my future.

― Julia quinn, Romancing Mister Bridgerton

“Doravante queria fazer alguma coisa, mas sabia que não se pode mandar no que não quer. Querer é muito pessoal. Impetuoso. Inconsequente. Inconveniente, até, às vezes, quando sai desembestado querendo o que vê pela frente. Tão raro, por outro lado, se é um querer de verdade. Imprevisível. Dia quer, dia não quer. É um verbo de lua.”
― Adriana Falcão, Luna Clara & Apolo Onze

“I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“I must learn to be content with being happier than I deserve.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“You are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged; but one word from you will silence me on this subject for ever.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“From the very beginning— from the first moment, I may almost say— of my acquaintance with you, your manners, impressing me with the fullest belief of your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others, were such as to form the groundwork of disapprobation on which succeeding events have built so immovable a dislike; and I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“I have been a selfish being all my life, in practice, though not in principle. As a child I was taught what was right, but I was not taught to correct my temper. I was given good principles, but left to follow them in pride and conceit. Unfortunately an only son (for many years an only child), I was spoilt by my parents, who, though good themselves (my father, particularly, all that was benevolent and amiable), allowed, encouraged, almost taught me to be selfish and overbearing; to care for none beyond my own family circle; to think meanly of all the rest of the world; to wish at least to think meanly of their sense and worth compared with my own. Such I was, from eight to eight and twenty; and such I might still have been but for you, dearest, loveliest Elizabeth! What do I not owe you! You taught me a lesson, hard indeed at first, but most advantageous. By you, I was properly humbled. I came to you without a doubt of my reception. You showed me how insufficient were all my pretensions to please a woman worthy of being pleased.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“She let herself love me for three minutes.
Can three minutes last forever? I ask myself, but already know the answer.
Probably not, I reply. But maybe they last long enough.”
― Markus Zusak, I Am the Messenger

“There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.”
― Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey

“Descobri que minha força sempre esteve dentro de mim - eu só não dava muita atenção a ela. E, sempre que vejo um fusca azul, lembro que dentro dele cabem pessoas o suficiente para me estender a mão se um dia eu precisar. Isso é força.”

“Na infância eu queria uma amizade satisfatória, na adolescência eu queria um namoro satisfatório e agora eu não sonho mais com alegrias: eu quero apenas condizer comigo.”
― Filipe Russo, Caro Jovem Adulto

“It's not a big thing, but I guess it's true--big things are often just small things that are noticed.”
― Markus Zusak, I Am the Messenger

“I hope you find a love like that–one that is all-consuming and powerful that makes you feel like you're going slightly mad. And if you do find that love, embrace it. Hold onto it. When you give yourself over to love like that, your heart will get bruised. It will get battered. But you will also feel invincible and infinite.”
― Jill Santopolo, The Light We Lost

“But you were like a drug. When I was high on you, nothing else mattered.”
― Jill Santopolo, The Light We Lost

“We've known each other for almost half our lives.
I've seen you smiling, confident, blissfully happy.
I've seen you broken, wounded, lost.
But I've never seen you like this.
You taught me to look for beauty. In darkness, in destruction, you always found light.
I don't know what beauty I'll find here, what light. But I'll try. I'll do it for you. Because I know you would do it for me.
There was so much beauty in our life together.”
― Jill Santopolo, The Light We Lost

“I think that making yourself available means putting the relationship you're in first. Not necessarily always, but often. It means making the decision that's best for the two of you, as a unit, even if it means compromising a little individually. It means sharing everything.”
― Jill Santopolo, The Light We Lost

“I love you, Lucy, like hydrogen loves oxygen. A totally different kind of love. An elemental kind.”

― Jill Santopolo, The Light We Lost

“About how you felt unmoored, like no one was connecting you to the earth anymore, like you could float away and no one would notice.”
