    My favorite quote from my favorite novel:

    “He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”
    - Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontė.

    It is my favourite too

    I like also:

    "you can transmute love, ignore it muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you"
    E. M. Forster, "A room with a view"

    "I`ll tell you what love is. It`s a blind devotion, unquestioning self-humililiation, utter submission, trust and belief against yourself and against the whole world, giving up your whole heart and soul to the shilter"

    Ch. Dickens, "Great Expectations"

    "Most of all," Hook was saying passionately, "I want their captain, Peter Pan. 'Twas he cut off my arm." He brandished the hook threateningly. "I've waited long to shake his hand with this. Oh, I'll tear him!"
    "And yet," said Smee, "I have often heard you say that hook was worth a score of hands, for combing the hair and other homely uses."
    "Ay," the captain answered. "if I was a mother I would pray to have my children born with this instead of that," and he cast a look of pride upon his iron hand and one of scorn upon the other.

    Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie
