First Love Returning Quotes

1. "And me, I got what I wanted.I died with my life around me."Isn't that what any of us would ask for, to be fully in our lives as we leave them, to have been ourselves all the way first? This is the gift that Phil's love is giving to Bill. I know what the price of this is for Phil- the exhaustion, the continuous focus on another, the postponement of one's own needs, but he can't see himself the depth and magnitude of the gift; he is so far inside it he has no means to measure. What I'm seeing is the kindest and sweetest mirror of the last of my life with Wally, and so rather than returning me to difficulty and pain, the visit is somehow restorative, bracingly genuine, consoling. Where could it be clearer, here in the heart of abandonment, what love achieves?"

2. "As Robin thought about what he had just said, Noah got up from the chair and knelt down in front of her. 'How about I give you three reasons? Morning, day, and night.'She narrowed her eyes.'Stay… so every morning when I open my eyes, you'll be the first thing I see. Stay… so every day when I'm with you, I can show you all over again exactly how much you mean to me. And stay… so every night when you lay your head down next to mine, you'll know… you'll know just how much you're loved.'Her eyes drifted to the water as she thought for a moment, returning to look deep into Noah's eyes.'Okay, Noah… I'll stay."
