#3. It’s a frightening thought, that in one fraction of a moment you can fall in the kind of love that takes a lifetime to get over.

#4. Kiss me until I forget how terrified I am of everything wrong with my life.

#9. I learned much too late that what you called love was nothing but a desperate and irrational fear of a life lived alone.

#10. A relationship should not be measured in months or years. It’s the calibre of the memories that matter. Their impact, their permanence, and the degree to which they change you. I’ve had relationships lasting years I can now scarcely recollect, and hours with others that feel like infinities.
