It was a kiss to make angels faint and demons weep...a passionate demanding soul-searing kiss that nearly knocked the earth off its axis. Or at least that was how Poppy felt about it.

To love is easy to be in a relationship is extremely difficult.

Child its a very bad thing for a woman to face the worst that can happen to her because after shes faced the worst she cant ever really fear anything again. ...Scarlett always save something to fear even as you save something to love...

I love you so much that nothing can matter to me - not even you...Only my love- not your answer. Not even your indifference

She taught him that after a celebration of love the lovers should not part without admiring each other without being conquered or having conquered so that neither is bleak or glutted or has the bad feeling of being used or misused.

I was the lion who forced you to join with Aravis. I was the cat who comforted you among the houses of the dead. I was the lion who drove the jackals from you while you slept.

And I was the lion you do not remember who pushed the boat in which you lay a child near death so that it came to shore where a man sat wakeful at midnight to receive you.
