― Victor Hugo , Les Misérables
2 " The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only. "
3 " The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved -- loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves. "

5 " When love has fused and mingled two beings in a sacred and angelic unity, the secret of life has been discovered so far as they are concerned; they are no longer anything more than the two boundaries of the same destiny; they are no longer anything but the two wings of the same spirit. Love, soar. "
6 " I have been loving you a little more every minute since this morning. "
