1. “So, yeah, we go through some terrible things together, and I’ve seen versions of you who are darker, and damaged, and I don’t care. I want you even when you’re broken. I want you no matter what. Your darkness, your anger, whatever it is you fear inside yourself—it doesn’t matter. I love you completely, don’t you see? I even want the worst of you because it’s still a part of you.” – Ten Thousand Skies Above You by Claudia Gray

2. “I love you. Today. Tonight. Tomorrow Forever. If I were to live a thousand years, I would belong to you for all of them. If I were to live a thousand lives, I would want to make you mine in each one.” – The Retribution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin

3. “You love me, real or not real?” I tell him, “Real.” Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

4. “I am his, and he is mine, and it has been that way all along.” – Insurgent by Veronica Roth

5. 

   “I’m in love with you, and I’m not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you.” – The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

6. “I don’t think I even breathe when we’re not together,” she whispered. “Which means, when I see you on Monday morning, it’s been like sixty hours since I’ve taken a breath. That’s probably why I’m so crabby, and why I snap at you. All I do when we’re apart is think about you, and all I do when we’re together is panic. Because every second feels so important. And because I’m so out of control, I can’t help myself. I’m not even mine anymore, I’m yours, and what if you decide that you don’t want me? How could you want me like I want you?” – Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

7. “You drive me insane June. You’re the scariest, most clever, bravest person I know, and sometimes I can’t catch my breath because I’m trying so hard to keep up. There will never be another like you. You realize that, don’t you? Billions of people will come and go in this world, but there will never be another like you.” – Champion by Marie Lu

8. “Break my heart. Break it a thousand times if you like. It was only ever yours to break anyway.” – The One by Kiera Cass

9. “I love you, a thousand times over. And I will never apologize for it.” – The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh

10. “What I was trying to say,” he whispered, “is that I see you in everything. There isn’t a word for you that means enough, because you’re everything to me.” – Into the Still Blue by Veronica Rossi

11. “You have me. Until every last star in the galaxy dies. You have me.” – Illuminae by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman

12. 

    “We’re staying together,” he promised. “You’re not getting away from me. Never again.” – The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan

13. “Being with you is the best thing that’s ever happened to me, the one perfect decision I’ve made in a lifetime of fumbling and poor judgment. I’d go through it all again to be by your side. Never doubt that. Never doubt how I feel about you.” – The Ruby Circle by Richelle Mead

14. “Life is a book, and there are a thousand pages I have not read. I would read them together with you, as many as I can, before I die -” She put her hand against his chest, just over his heart, and felt its beat against her palm, a unique time signature that was all its own. “I only wish you would not speak of dying,” she said. “But even for that, yes, I know how you are with your words, and, Will- I love all of them. Every word you say. The silly ones, the mad ones, the beautiful ones, and the ones that are only for me. I love them, and I love you.” – Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare

15. “I love you as certain dark things are loved, secretly, between the shadow and the soul.” – Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
