The gentle look in his eyes reminded me of the boy I'd fallen in love with years ago.
Just because I don't talk about it, doesn't mean I forget.
—Katja Millay in The Sea of Tranquility
The right thing at the wrong time is never the right thing.
—Patti Callahan Henry in Between The Tides
A man must not deny his manifest abilities, for that is to evade his obligations.
To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.
If men knew all that women think, they would be twenty times more audacious.
It's the strangest feeling—to love someone this way.
Some things are more precious because they don't last long.
—Oscar Wilde in The Picture of Dorian Gray
