I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.
When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.
The one you love and the one who loves you are never, ever the same person.
Just when you think it can't get any worse, it can. And just when you think it can't get any better, it can.
Tis better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at all.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
So it's not gonna be easy. It's going to be really hard; we're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me... everyday.
To die will be an awfully big adventure.
A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.
I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.
Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears."After all this time?""Always," said Snape.
When someone loves you, the way they talk about you is different. You feel safe and comfortable.
The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.
If I had a flower for every time I thought of you...I could walk through my garden forever.
We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love—true love.
If you can make a woman laugh, you can make her do anything.
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.
You don't love someone because they're perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're not.
There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.
Love is like the wind, you can't see it but you can feel it.
