My friend wrote this in a Jane Austen fanfiction and I just really love it.
The following story is without a doubt, a most curious mix of happiness and sorrow. For how can one be enjoyed without the other hardly bears thought. Let it suffice, dear reader, that the fiction before you shall render you speechless, it shall pull at your heartstrings, your eyes will sting from the moisture of tears. All that said, I present to you a love story.
This from One Tree Hill
at this moment there are
6,470,818,671
people in this world
some are running scared
some are coming home
some tell lies to make it through the day
others are just now facing the truth
some are evil men, at war with good
and some are good, struggling with evil
six billion people in the world
six billion souls
and sometimes
all you need
is one.

And in that moment, I swear we were infinite
T.S. Eliot Poem (The Hollow Men)
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper
Collection of Sylvia Plaths (all from the Bell Jar):
And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.
There is something demoralizing about watching two people get more and more crazy about each other, especially when you are the only extra person in the room. It's like watching Paris from an express caboose heading in the opposite direction--every second the city gets smaller and smaller, only you feel it's really you getting smaller and smaller and lonelier and lonelier, rushing away from all those lights and excitement at about a million miles an hour.
Kiss me and you will see how important I am
House Quotes
So, this is the story you made up about yourself? It's nice.
Too bad it isn't true.
If you believe in eternity, then life is irrelevant. The same way a bug is irrelevant in comparison to the universe.
If you don't believe in eternity, then what you do here is irrelevant.
Your actions *here* are all that matters.
Then nothing matters. There's no ultimate consequence. I couldn't live like that.
I'm going to base this moment on who I'm stuck in a room with. It's what life is. It's a series of rooms and who we get stuck in those rooms with adds up to what our lives are.
Dying's easy. Living's hard.
Then my favourite quote of all time
Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears.
"After all this time?"
"Always," said Snape.
