“Love is like the sun on a hot summer's day, this burning ball of light that is too bright to look at. It's standing on top of the cliffs in fifty-mile-an-hour winds, the force and power of the wind is so strong it can knock you off your feet, it makes you feel like you can't breathe, but as you stand there with your arms outstretched, felling its strength as it roars past you , it makes you feel so alive. You, my friend, have that look that you're about to be knocked off your feet.”
― Holly Martin, Sunshine and Secrets at Blackberry Beach

“You angel, you have written. [...]

― Vita Sackville-West

“They both leaned in then, lips meeting in the middle. Their arms wrapped around each other’s bodies. But this time, the kiss was sweeter somehow. Less hungry. It was a kiss that felt like something shared between two people who had been together for years. Yet, those two people never tired of the feeling of a simple kiss.”
― Mora Ash Wildes, Bringing Home The Cowboy

“I closed my eyes, remembering what he’d looked like, so close I could smell the shaving soap he’d used that morning. The way Benedict had looked at me—I thought I might melt right there on that log. I’d been so bold to reach for his hand. And I didn’t even feel guilty or ashamed. We’d been in a world of our own with rules we made. Rules that included holding hands and kissing. I wanted to live in that world always.”
