It is not easy to learn much about love, but one thing I discovered, that Lady Harleigh taught me: it is not whom you love that is important, but only that we love.

Some lovers were fortunate enough to grow old together. They’d grown old apart. She did not think him any less handsome. She only wished that she’d been there when the first line on his face had appeared, so that she could have stroked and kissed and cherished it.

Taking a deep breath, he made a second attempt. “It’s so hard to let Claire go. Romantics are forever people.

The best scientist is open to experience and begins with romance - the idea that anything is possible.

I'd run my whole life long to reach you; paddle my way across Atlantic and Pacific; traverse Jungle and Desert to find you; climb cliffs and drop from the sky to rescue you. Anything to be close to you. Any way to say I love you.

Just that I have loved you, even when I was nothing and no one to you, when you didn’t know my name and barely knew my face.
