Top 10 Best Quotes

“She was an enigma and a contradiction. Partly truth, partly fiction. Partly God, partly human. A moment you loathed her, the subsequent you wanted to be her. She was so friendly yet so cold and distant, so arrogant yet so humble.”

“God, she was beautiful. She was so beautiful her image and her laugh and her picturesque face and odour lingered and stay etched upon and echoed across the multitude of chambers in her subconscious psyche. She tried to count the stars in the night sky like the freckles on the blonde’s nose. She thought of her lips being the clouds of stardust that stayed around the night sky, so distracting yet not really spoken about. She thought of the Moon being her eyes, so wide and big and bright. Her beauty was transient and translucent like the night sky.”

“When they had discovered the poppy fields, they were young adolescents wanting to read in a quiet place and get away from the crowds yet away from the town. They read the term ‘countryside’ and fell in love with it. To think of the authentic part of the country residing with the ones living in the more remote and natural parts was, above all else, beautiful. Now they did not live in the village, they lived in a small town in the French countryside. And will against will, day upon day, the poppy fields were not poppy fields anymore. They were the poppy fields near the French countryside.”

“We do not have the love for the ages, for the decades. We have the love that I will remember to be memorable in all the ways it was mundane. We will love and then we shall perish. No one will remember us. We are free.”

“The rich in town owned plantations and manors and huge amounts of wealth. All they had were the poppy fields that belonged to an ancient farmer who was reclusive and shy and had not been found by anyone else besides them. That was all they had. And that was all they wanted.”

“She was everything I had ever wanted to be and so much more. What with her sparkly eyes and animated, gesticulated hands, her beautiful blonde hair cascading down gracefully like silk and her eyes so electric and cheeks the colour of rose. Vivacious and vibrant though she was in her innate talent at being able to hold a conversation with anyone, she loved and prized being alone paramount to being besieged.”

“She was every bit as beautiful as her name dictates and suggests, perhaps in the increment.”

“She never was rich or of a superior lineage but something about Delilah’s air and face made the disillusionment indistinguishable and somewhat tangible and not tantalizing.”

“I have been miserable this half a year. I have come to see you as nothing but a spawn of the devil himself.”

“But I will never forget you. In good sense or bad. I will not immortalise you as a martyr or romanticise you as a heroine or curse you as an embittered past lover. I will always remember you as a whole. I will remember Bellatrix Garden.”
