“He dug so deeply into her sentiments that in search of interest he found love, because by trying to make her love him he ended up falling in love with her. Petra Cotes, for her part, loved him more and more as she felt his love increasing, and that was how in the ripeness of autumn she began to believe once more in the youthful superstition that poverty was the servitude of love. Both looked back then on the wild revelry, the gaudy wealth, and the unbridled fornication as an annoyance and they lamented that it had cost them so much of their lives to find the paradise of shared solitude. Madly in love after so many years of sterile complicity, they enjoyed the miracle of living each other as much at the table as in bed, and they grew to be so happy that even when they were two worn-out people they kept on blooming like little children and playing together like dogs.” ― Gabriel GarcíaMárquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude
“You so need to lighten up about that
potato-launcher incident," Butch said. Phury rolled his eyes and eased
back in the banquette. "You broke my window." "Of course we did.
V and I were aiming for it." "Twice." "Thus proving that he

“Yes, I decided, a man can truly change.
The events of the past year have taught me much about myself, and a few
universal truths. I learned, for instance, that while wounds can be inflicted
easily upon those we love, it's often much more difficult to heal them. Yet the
process of healing those wounds provided the richest experience of my life,
leading me to believe that while I've often overestimated what I could
accomplish in a day, I had underestimated what I could do in a year. But most
of all, I learned that it's possible for two people to fall in love all over
again, even when there's been a lifetime of disappointment between them.” ―
Nicholas Sparks, The Wedding
