Diana Wynne Jones: "A heart's a heavy burden."

Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.

A marriage is always made up of two people who are prepared to swear that only the other one snores.

Anyone can love a thing because. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too.

To keep a thing you must care for it more than you care for yourself.

Love is the bane of honor, the death of duty.

You make me want to live, not just survive.
