“I come here with no expectations, only to profess, now that I am at liberty to do so, that my heart is and always will be...yours.”
― Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility

“with an earnestness that would be laughable in a person who wasn’t from Wisconsin.”
― Jennifer Egan, A Visit from the Goon Squad

“National boundaries are not evident when we view the Earth from space. Fanatical ethnic or religious or national chauvinisms are a little difficult to maintain when we see our planet as a fragile blue crescent fading to become an inconspicuous point of light against the bastion and citadel of the stars.”

“It had flaws, but what does that matter when it comes to matters of the heart? We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love. Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect.”
― Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear
