Or maybe our paths will diverge someday, taking us in separate directions, making our relationship a brief but beautiful spot in a series of unforgettable encounters. Either way, it will be a journey worth taking. Either way, it will be a love story.

I'm not saying that people can't be happy or fulfilled on their own; of course they can. But being open to the possibility of love doesn't make you weak; it actually makes you strong.

Suddenly we're not just two people dancing around the same space, we are the same space, moving as one.

You never know what you're getting into when you fall in love, but that doesn't mean you avoid the jump.

The merging of two lives, the threshold of possibility: it's an energy unlike anything else.

I don't know how it all works, and maybe it seems like nothing to you, but watching you do it [...] you were basically taking away those creatures' fears of being alone by giving them the promise of love. Do you have any idea how incredible that is?

But now I know: the heart, for all its strength, beats blindly.
