“You still love me - even if there's one expression of it that you will always feel and want, but will not give me no longer. I'm still what I was, and you'll always see it, and you'll always grant me the same response, even if there's a greater one that you grant another man. No matter what you feel for him, it will not change what you feel for me, and it won't treason to either, because it comes from the same root, it's the same payment in answer to the same values.”
― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

“It's a defining difference, curiosity. I've never known a stupid person who was curious, or a curious person who was stupid.”
― Mark Helprin, In Sunlight and in Shadow

“I want someone whose heart is big enough to hold me.”
― Rainbow Rowell, Attachments

“Then I discovered that being related is no guarantee of love!”
― Stieg Larsson, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
