In 'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Bronte, 'He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.' This quote shows a deep connection between two characters that goes beyond the physical.
Sure. In 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen, 'It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.' This is a very well - known and somewhat satirical take on the social norms of the time regarding marriage and wealth.
In 'The Notebook' by Nicholas Sparks, there's this quote: 'I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough.' This shows that true love doesn't need grandeur or fame.
Sure. In Japanese culture, there's a saying '君が好きだと叫びたい' which roughly means 'I want to shout that I like you'. A Japanese love story could be that of Hachiko, the loyal dog who waited for his owner every day at the station. His loyalty can be seen as a form of love. It shows that love can be expressed through unwavering dedication.
Sure. In 'The Catcher in the Rye', Holden Caulfield says, 'I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I'd do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all.' This shows his desperate attempt to preserve innocence in a world he sees as corrupt, and it has an underlying sadness.
Sure. In 'Moby - Dick', Herman Melville wrote, 'The ocean, vast and unending, was a liquid plain of blue - black, heaving and swelling like a living thing.'
A quote from 'Pride and Prejudice': 'I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look, or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.' This shows the unexpected and often indescribable nature of falling in love, which is really heart - warming.
Another one is from 'Jane Eyre'. Rochester says, 'I have for the first time found what I can truly love - I have found you. You are my sympathy - my better self - my good angel. I am bound to you with a strong attachment. I think you good, gifted, lovely: a fervent, a solemn passion is conceived in my heart; it leans to you, draws you to my centre and spring of life, wraps my existence about you, and, kindling in pure, powerful flame, fuses you and me in one.' This is a very detailed and passionate declaration of love.
In 'The Song of Achilles' by Madeline Miller, there's 'He is half of my soul, as the poets say.' It's a very touching quote about love. Also, in some indie novels, like 'A Shade of Magic' series, there are lines about love between characters that are not as widely known. For example, 'Love can cross dimensions, it's the one thing that's stronger than magic.' This shows that love can be a powerful force even in a world filled with magic. And in 'The Book Thief' by Markus Zusak, the love between Liesel and Max has some unspoken but deeply felt moments that can be seen as quotes about love in a more implicit way.
One more funny quote is 'He looked at her like she was the last piece of chocolate in the box, and she wasn't sure if she should be flattered or run for the hills.' This quote is humorous as it compares the way a man looks at a woman to the way one might look at a delicious but potentially indulgent piece of chocolate. It also shows the woman's mixed feelings about the attention, which is a relatable and comical situation in romance.
A very well - known quote is 'I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.' This is from the Marauder's Map. It's a fun and mischievous quote that also gives a sense of the adventures and pranks that the characters get up to. It's become very iconic in the Harry Potter fandom.
