“And all I loved, I loved alone.”
― Edgar Allen Poe

“I'm in love with you," he said quietly.

"Augustus," I said.

"I am," he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“I like a hint but not a full story.
I need an exotic star but not the whole universe.”

“Not one word, not one gesture of yours shall I, could I, ever forget...”
― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina
