“You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own, than when you almost broke it eight years and a half ago.”
― Jane Austen, Persuasion

“Most people don't notice most other people. Most people don't notice much of anything. Their lives fit them too snugly; noticing requires space.”
― Amy Bonnaffons, The Regrets

“I believe in free will, not in fate. But will doesn't operate in a vacuum. Sometimes other people's are stronger than yours, and your will has no grounds for resistance.”
― Amy Bonnaffons, The Regrets

“A fickle heart is the only constant in this world”
― Diana Wynne Jones, Howl's Moving Castle
