Damon Salvatore
- Vampire Diaries
No one tells me how I live my life. No one tells me who I love. Especially not some vindictive prehistoric witch and definitely not the universe. And I'm not gonna let someone else's idea of destiny stop me from loving you or being with you, or building a future with you because... you are my life.
Damon Salvatore
- Vampire Diaries
I'm in love with a woman I can never have. The point is I'm in love with her and it's driving me crazy. I'm not in control. I have to stay together to protect her and she wants me to be the better man, which means I can't be who I am.

- Vampire Diaries
You want a love that consumes you. You want passion and adventure and even a little danger. I want you to get everything you're looking for. But for now, I want you to forget that this happened.

- Fifty Shades Freed
Oh. Tears prick my eyes. That's it? My stomach flips. I am going to be sick. I race to the powder room and make it just in time, depositing my breakfast into the toilet. I sink to the floor of the cubicle and put my head in my hands. Could I be any more miserable? After a while, there's a gentle knock on the door. "Ana?" It's Hannah. "Yes?" "Are you okay?" "I'll be out in a moment." "Boyce Fox is here to see you."
