Dr. Seuss
“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”
Dr. Seuss

Frances Burney
“Were you ever in love, Clarendel? speak the truth. I am just seized with a passionate desire to know.’

‘Why . . . yes.. ‘ answered he, pulling his lips with his fingers, ‘I think–I rather think. . . . I was once.’

‘O tell! tell! tell!’

‘Nay, I am not very positive. One hears it is to happen; and one is put upon thinking of it, while so very young, that one soon takes it for granted. Define it a little, and I can answer you more accurately. Pray, is it any thing beyond being very fond, and very silly, with a little touch of melancholy?”
Fanny Burney, Camilla

Virginia Woolf
“If the best of one's feelings means nothing to the person most concerned in those feelings, what reality is left us?”
Virginia Woolf, Night and Day

Frances Burney
“This only unconcerned spectator in the midst of the apparent general bustle, was Mr Meadows; who viewed all that passed without troubling himself to interfere, and with an air of the most evident carelessness whether matters went well or went ill.”
Fanny Burney, Cecilia

Jane Austen
“A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.”
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
