Love is illogical. You fall into it like a manhole. Then youre just stuck. You die in love more than you live in love.

When we are in love we are convinced nobody else will do. But as time goes others do do and often do do much much better.

To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is well a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense humbles us out of our self-righteousness and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us.

A true gentleman is one that apologizes anyways even though he has not offended a lady intentionally. He is in a class all of his own because he knows the value of a womans heart.

That was the only time as I stood there looking at that strange rubbish feeling the wind coming across those empty fields that I started to imagine just a little fantasy thing because this was Norfolk after all and it was only a couple of weeks since Id lost him. I was thinking about the rubbish the flapping plastic in the branches the shore-line of odd stuff caught along the fencing and I half-closed my eyes and imagined this was the spot where everything Id ever lost since my childhood had washed up and I was now standing here in front of it and if I waited long enough a tiny figure would appear on the horizon across the field and gradually get larger until Id see it was Tommy and hed wave maybe even call. The fantasy never got beyond that --I didnt let it-- and though the tears rolled down my face I wasnt sobbing or out of control. I just waited a bit then turned back to the car to drive off to wherever it was I was supposed to be.

Well obviously shes feeling very sad because of Cedric dying. Then i expect shes feeling confused because she liked Cedric and now she likes Harry and she cant work out who she likes best. Then shell be feeling guilty thinking its an insult to Cedrics memory to be kissing Harry at all and shell be worrying about what everyone else might say about her if she starts going out with Harry . And she probably cant work out what her feelings towards Harry are anyway because he was the one who was with Cedric when Cedric died so thats all very mixed up and painful. Oh and shes afraid shes going to be thrown off the Ravenclaw Quidditch team because shes flying so badly. A slightly stunned silence greeted the end of this speech then Ron said One person cant feel all that at once theyd explode.

In a strange way I had fallen in love with my depression. Dr. Sterling was right about that. I loved it because I thought it was all I had. I thought depression was the part of my character that made me worthwhile. I thought so little of myself felt that I had such scant offerings to give to the world that the one thing that justified my existence at all was my agony.

I had never thought I could love another person this much. I also never thought Id live in such fear of losing another person. Was this how everyone in love felt Did they all cling tightly to their beloved and wake up terrified in the middle of the night afraid of being alone Was that an inevitable way of life when you loved so deeply Or was it just those of us who walked on a precipice who lived in such panic
