I could not have loved Will so much if I had not loved you as well. And I could not love you as I do if I had not loved Will as I did.
-Tessa. I have been crying throughout the epilogue. It's so beautiful and heart wrenching!

I recall what you said to me once, that words have the power to change us. Your words have changed me, Tess; they have made me a better man than I would have been otherwise. Life is a book, and there are a thousand pages I have not yet read. I would read them together with you, as many as I can, before I die.
-Will.

You are unique in the world, just as you are unique in my heart, and there will never be a time when I do not love you.
-Will to Tessa.

Truly? You have come back from death like the ghost of Old Marley, but to nag me about my romantic prospects?
-Will. Have I mentioned how much I love Will's wit and sarcasm?

Tess, Tess, Tessa.
Was there ever a more beautiful sound than your name? To speak it aloud makes my heart ring like a bell. Strange to imagine that, isn't it-----a heart ringing? But when you touch me, that is what it is like, as if my heart was ringing in my chest and the sound shivers down my veins and splinters by bones with joy.
-Will.

Every meeting lead to a parting, and so it would, as long as life was mortal. In every meeting there was some of the sorrow of parting, but in every parting there was some of the joy of meeting as well.
-Will.

Then that is a miracle. And one does not question miracles, or complain that they are not constructed perfectly to one's liking.
-Tessa.

Some secrets she thought, where better told; some were better left the burden of the carrier, that they might not cause pain to others.
-Tessa.

It was a near incomprehensible tangle, the three of them, but there was one certainty, and that was that there was no lack of love between them.
-Will. That is a strikingly accurate description of Will, Tessa, and Jem.

Oh. My. Golly!
