21 " Connor barely blinks before he says, “Normally I wouldn’t even waste words on someone who I find parochial and meaningless, but maybe I pity you just enough to say this: in the next two centuries, my wife and I will still exist. We will live beyond you through minds and words and hearts. If that makes you feel weak and insignificant, then maybe you should reevaluate your own stance in the world—and not attempt to beat at mine with two flailing hands. "

22 " I flip him off. He mimes catching and pocketing it. “Thanks. I needed a fuck you for later. "
23 " I’m a man of extraordinary talents, but I need you.” He swallows. “Do you hear what I’m saying? "
24 " Somewhere along the way, she found her voice. Somewhere along the way, she found her stride. I’m just the grateful fucking guy who was given the chance to stand by her side. Through it all. "
25 " He kisses my forehead, his lips brushing my cheek. “I wouldn’t trade our love for any other. "
26 " So whatever anyone says, whatever anyone thinks - I've lived so very long. I've been in love. I've been free.I'd like to think, no matter where I go, I can still be found. Just look up.I'll be there. That's where I'll be.Every time the sun shines down, maybe you'll think of me. "
27 " What’s the point of speaking up when no one hears you? "
28 " I’m scared,” I breathe. “I’m always going to fucking be here,” he reminds me. “You won’t be alone, sweetheart. "
29 " I want to fucking protect her from the pain that her friends bring, but I can’t shield her from people. I couldn’t do that four years ago. I can’t fucking do it now. I’m just here when she needs me. Whatever she fucking wants. I’m here. "
30 " I breathe deeply, and he hovers above me. “I’m going to fuck you,” he says, yanking off my pants. The cold nips my skin. “I’m going to have sex with you.” He kisses me strongly while lifting my sweater off my head. “I’m going to make love to you.” His eyes bore into mine. “All at fucking once.” His gaze dances over my features. “Not because of a fucking theory. I can’t think of a place I’d rather be right now than with you. Truth is, I can’t think of a place I’d rather be in fifty fucking years than next to you. "
31 " And I think, Lily Calloway is very, very magical. "
32 " I’ve always fucking loved you in my arms. "
33 " You know that saying: if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say it at all? Yeah, Hales don’t do that. “He sounds like a loser. "
34 " Ryke belongs with nature, able to withstand the seasons and time just like the rocks he climbs. He keeps going, he keeps moving, and he picks everyone up when they’ve fallen behind. "
35 " Because you were the only girl I’d ever met that was as deeply caring and as fucking lonely as me. If anyone was going to fill my heart, it was you. Only you. "
36 " I understand that we see the world differently and neither is wrong. "
37 " And I vow, 'Wherever you go, I’ll go'. "
38 " You just wish you were part of the Weasley clan. "
39 " People say you can’t describe love, but I have this theory that you can. It’s just subjective. "
40 " Why can only certain girls be “meant” for something? It shouldn’t be bad to want to be a mom. It shouldn’t be bad to want to only have a career. It shouldn’t be bad to strive for both or nothing at all. We all should just be what we want to be. "
