“Someone should tell you you're beautiful every time the sun comes up. Someone should tell you you're beautiful on Wednesdays. And at teatime. Someone should tell you you're beautiful on Christmas Day and Christmas Eve and the evening before Christmas Eve, and on Easter. He should tell you on Guy Fawkes Night and on New Year's, and on the eigth of August, just because.”

“My heart is yours, Hazel Sinnett," Jack said. "Forever. Beating or still.” ― Dana Schwartz, Anatomy: A Love Story
“It was an impossible situation, a trick of society as a whole: force women to live at the mercy of whichever man wants them but shame them for anything they might do to get a man to want them.” ― Dana Schwartz, Anatomy: A Love Story
“Perhaps you could take only one book with you to read at the gardens. After all, you'll only be there for the afternoon." Hazel choked on her tea. "One book? One book? Now you're being absurd. What if I finish it? Or what if I find it impossibly dull, what then? What am I supposed to read if I either complete the book I brought or I otherwise discover it to be unreadable? It what if it no longer holds my attention? Someone could spill tea on it. There. Think of that. Someone could spill tea on my one book, and then I would be marooned. Honestly, Iona, you must use your head.” ― Dana Schwartz, Anatomy: A Love Story
“What were miracles, but science that man didn’t yet understand? And didn’t that make it all the more miraculous that the secrets of the universe were out there, codes one might decipher if smart enough, tenacious enough?” ― Dana Schwartz, Anatomy: A Love Story
“My beating heart is still yours, the letter said, and I’ll be waiting for you.” ― Dana Schwartz, Anatomy: A Love Story
“Hazel Sinnett, you are the most miraculous creature I have ever come across, and I am going to be thinking about how beautiful you are until the day I die.” ― Dana Schwartz, Anatomy: A Love Story
“IT’S THE LESSON YOUNG GIRLS EVERYWHERE were taught their entire lives—don’t be seduced by the men you meet, protect your virtue—until, of course, their entire lives depended on seduction by the right man. It was an impossible situation, a trick of society as a whole: force women to live at the mercy of whichever man wants them but shame them for anything they might do to get a man to want them. Passivity was the ultimate virtue. Heaven forbid you turn into someone like Hyacinth Coldwater. Be patient, be silent, be beautiful and untouched as an orchid, and then and only then will your reward come: a bell jar to keep you safe.” ― Dana Schwartz, Anatomy: A Love Story
“No one has ever told me that I'm beautiful before," Hazel said. She hadn't realized it was true until she said it out loud.Jack stood with his hands on either side of her face and stared at her for a few heartbeats. Then he leaned in and softly kissed both her eyelids."Someone should tell you that you're beautiful every time the sun comes up. Someone should tell you you're beautiful on Wednesdays. And at teatime. Someone should tell you you're beautiful on Christmas Day and Christmas Eve and the evening before Christmas Eve, and on Easter. He should tell you on Guy Fawkes Night and on New Year's, and on the eighth of August, just because." He kissed her lips once more, gently, and then pulled away and gazed into her eyes."Hazel Sinnett, you are the most miraculous creature I have ever come across, and I am going to be thinking about how beautiful you are until the day I die.” ― Dana Schwartz, Anatomy: A Love Story
“What were miracles, but science that man didn't yet understand?” ― Dana Schwartz, Anatomy: A Love Story
“Let him spend every night in the dirt if it meant getting his mornings with her.” ― Dana Schwartz, Anatomy: Love story
“All progress requires human sacrifice.” ― Dana Schwartz, Anatomy: A Love Story
“There are always women behind the scenes, pulling the strings, Hazel. We are invisible to history, but we also survive.” ― Dana Schwartz, Immortality: A Love Story
“You get to choose what you want to be. You don’t need skills you were born with or permission. If you want to be an artist or whatever, just work harder than everyone else and become an artist!” ― Dana Schwartz, And We're Off
“She could say she had a headache. Or she was feeling faint. No one seemed to ask too many questions about a woman feeling faint, nor about the broader cultural phenomenon of an entire society of women who seemed to swoon en masse.” ― Dana Schwartz, Anatomy: A Love Story
“BECOMING AN ARTIST IS A RECKLESS ACT OF INSANITY. BUT, IF I MAY QUOTE A PLAY THAT I THINK MIGHT BE A FAVORITE OF YOURS, “THOUGH THIS BE MADNESS, / YET THERE IS METHOD IN’T.” ― Dana Schwartz, And We're Off
“I've taken you for a lot of things, but a fool was never one of them.” ― Dana Schwartz, Anatomy: A Love Story
“WHICH FAKE ROM-COM LADY CAREER SHOULD YOU PURSUE?...Think Bond girl—you’re incredibly smart in the one specific area that just so happens to help the protagonist in this one very specific instant of the plot. “Give me that,” you’ll say, snatching the hieroglyph from the hero’s hand. “I have two PhDs in cryptozoological translation.” You’ll shove the hero aside from the beeping machine. “I’m NASA’s top-ranking expert in nuclear disarmament techniques.” Does it make sense? No, but who cares? You are very, very pretty. And smart, definitely smart because even though you look like a supermodel and wear very sexy clothing and a full face of makeup, you are also wearing glasses. Sure, twenty-four looks a little young to have three PhDs but they’re pretty sure making you smart in whatever will move the plot forward means this movie is feminist. You will either end up running away with the hero, or you will die. Apologies.” ― Dana Schwartz, Choose Your Own Disaster
“We men fear death. Death! Gruesome and terrible! Inevitable and senseless! We dance towards her as we might a beautiful woman and Death waltzes back towards us, beckoning, always beckoning. Once the veil is pierced, we never return.” ― Dana Schwartz, Anatomy: A Love Story
