"I can no longer listen in silence. . . 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. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that a man forgets sooner than a woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. . . For you alone I think and plan. Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes?. . . I am every instant hearing something which overipowers me. You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others. Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed. You do believe that there is true attatchment and constancy among men. Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, in me."
~ a note from Captain Fredrick Wentworth from Jane Austin's Persuasion.
Bonus Quote: Yup even with that one so long you still get another.
"I must learn to brook being happier than I deserve."
