Take ten: favorite book quotes

1. "You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever.

Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you."
Persuasion


2. "After all
a person's a person.
No matter how small."
Horton Hears a Who

one; you need not covet it), is that of loving longest, when existence
or when hope is gone.”
