JANE EYRE by Charlotte Bronte

“I could not unlove him now, merely because I found that he had ceased to notice me.”

“Do you think I am an automaton? A machine without feelings?

“Every atom of your flesh is as dear to me as my own: in pain and sickness it will still be dear.”

OUTLANDER by Diana Gabaldon

“For where all love is, the speaking is unnecessary. It is all. It is undying. And it is enough.”

GABRIEL’S INFERNO by Sylvain Reynard

“Growing up, she felt so unworthy of having her deepest desires satisfied, of being loved absolutely. She didn’t feel that way anymore.” Julia Mitchell

“You know the act of feeding someone is the ultimate act of care and affection. Sharing yourself with someone else through food. Think about it. We are fed in the Eucharist, by our mothers when we are infants, by our parents as children, by friends at dinner parties, by a lover when we feast on one another’s bodies, and on occasion, on one another’s souls”. Gabriel Emerson

“I want to make love to you because I care about you. I want to worship your naked body with my own and learn all your secrets. I want to please you, not for minutes, but for hours and even days. I want to see you arch your back in ecstasy and look into my eyes when I make you come.” Gabriel Emerson
