“Robin found himself in the impossible position of loving that which he betrayed, twice.”

“He’d just registered what this most mundane and extraordinary moment ment- that in the space of several weeks, they had become what he never found in Hampstead, what he thought he’d never have again after Canton; a circle of people he loved so fiercely his chest hurt when he thought about them.”

“By the time they’d finished their tea, they were almost in love with each other- not quite yet, because true love took time and memories, but as close to love as first impressions could take them.”

“Dickens’s serials were well and fun, but what a pleasure it was to hold the weight of an entire, finished story in his hands.”

“Robin was not too young to understand that there were some truths that could never be uttered, that life as normal was only possible if they were never acknowledged.”

First book of the year ☺️

“I said his heaven would be only half alive, and he said mine would be drunk; I said I should fall asleep in his, and he said he could not breathe in mine”

“He wanted to lie in ecstasy of peace; I wanted all to sparkle, and dance in glorious jubilee.”

“for she could be soft and mild as a dove, and she had a gentle voice, and pensive expression: her anger was never furious; her love never fierce; it was deep and tender.”

“You said I killed you—haunt me, then!”

“I was weeping as much for him as her; we do sometimes pity creatures that have none of the feeling either for themselves or others.”

“His young and fair features were almost deathlike as those of the form beside him, and almost as fixed; but his was the hush of exhausted anguish, and hers was of perfect peace.”

“I wish I were a girl again, half savage and hardy, and free… and laughing at injuries, not maddening under them!”

“He took a seat opposite of Catherine, who kept her gaze fixed on him as she feared he would vanish if she were to remove it.”

“Noticing small changes early helps you adapt to the bigger changes that are to come.”

“Sometimes Hem, things change and they are never the same again. This looks like one of those times. That’s life! Life moves on. And so should we”

“Haw was getting tired of just waiting for their situation to improve. He began to see the longer they stayed in their situation, the worse off they would be.”

“So he shall never know I love him; and that, not because he’s handsome, but because he’s more myself than I. Whatever souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”

“Ah, I thought, there will be no saving him — he is doomed, and flies to his fate!”

“I saw the quarrel had merely defected a closer intimacy- had broken the outworks of youthful timidity, and enable them to forsake the disguise of friendship, and confess themselves lovers.”

“Yes, you had a reason of going to bed with a proud heart and empty stomach. Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves”

“She’s thinking, I’m sorry, but she can’t say the words out loud. They stick to her throat because she should have said them years ago.”

“As to staying here, I don’t keep accommodations for visitors; you must share a bed with Hareton or Joseph, if you do.”

😂😂

“The yearning for him is like hunger, hollowing me. Somewhere his soul waits, but is nowhere I can reach.”

😩

“There was more to say, but for once we did not say it. There would be other times for speaking, tonight and tomorrow and all the days after that. He let go of my hand.”

“I could not find the words that would reach him. Perhaps there were none.”

“I do not know this man, I think. He is no one I have ever seen before. My rage towards him is hot as blood.”

“Our world was one of blood, and the honor it won; only cowards did not fight. For a prince there was no choice. You warred and won, or you warred and died.”
