“...I am nothing in my soul if not obsessive.”
― Donna Tartt, The Secret History

“I thought, lying there, that I might love him for the rest of my life. We did love each other---maybe we never said it, and maybe love was never something we were in, but it was something I felt. I loved him, and I thought, maybe I will never see him again, and I'll be stuck missing him, and isn't that so terrible.”
― John Green, Turtles All the Way Down

“I really don't see anything romantic in proposing. It is very romantic to be in love. But there is nothing romantic about a definite proposal. Why, one may be accepted. One usually is, I believe. Then the excitement is all over. The very essence of romance is uncertainty. If ever I get married, I'll certainly try to forget the fact.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest

“Even more terrible, as we grow older, to learn that no person, no matter how beloved, can truly understand us.”
― Donna Tartt, The Secret History
