“I want to be the last thing you see when I go to sleep and the first thing I see when I wake up. I want to sit with you in the sun, on the floor, and anywhere else, just to be close to you. I want it all.”

Kate Perry,
Perfect for You
“You need me to inspire you and remind you how wonderful you are. You need me to kiss you." He lowered his head and pressed his lips on her neck. "You need me to love you.""But more than that," he continued, "I need you. I need you to come home to. I need you to talk to and laugh with. I need you to love me back.” ― Kate Perry, Perfect for You
“The future was coming nearer, one relentless goose step after the next. Juliet could still remember when Hitler had seemed like a harmless clown. No one was amused now. (“The clowns are the dangerous ones,” Perry said.)” ― Kate Atkinson, Transcription
“But it's the innocent looking ones who're the most diabolical.” ― Kate Perry, Perfect for You
“I finally realized that what I wanted didn't exist where I thought it did.” ― Kate Perry
“Fiery goddess in search of the perfect god. Soar with me through clouds, frolic under the stars, hand me the moon for my own. Mortals need not reply.” ― Kate Perry, Perfect for You
“I probably coughed self-pityingly in response, little aware that I was about to cross a tremendous threshold beyond which there would be no return, that in my hands I held an object whose simple appearance belied its profound power. All true readers have a book, a moment, like the one I describe, and when Mum offered me that much-read library copy mine was upon me. For although I didn't know it then, after falling deep inside the world of the Mud Man, real life was never going to be able to compete with fiction again. I've been grateful to Miss Perry ever sense, for when she handed that novel over the counter and urged my harried mother to pass it on to me, she'd either confused me with a much older child or else she'd glimpsed deep inside my soul and perceived a hole that needed filling. I've always chosen to believe the latter. After all, it's the librarian's sworn purpose to bring books together with their one true reader.” ― Kate Morton, The Distant Hours
“I opened my mouth to ask him what our excursion meant to him. Then I wondered if I really wanted to know, because once you have knowledge, there's no going back.” ― Kate Perry, Project Date
“-He likes you-We don't know that for a fact.-I've seen the way he looks at you. We can safely call it a fact.-How does he look at me?-Like you're a Nutella latte and a chocolate croissant all in one.” ― Kate Perry, Close to You
“What good are prisoners? I much prefer devoted slaves.” ― Kate Perry, The Holiday
“That was the thing about being a copy of the original—the copy was always a blurry version of the original.” ― Kate Perry, Looking for You
“I don't think I want to have this sort of conversation with you, especially since you're going to be a virgin till you're thirty-five."Anna grinned. "I won't tell you about Hans and Boris during spring break then.""You hung out on my couch during spring break.""So did Hans and Boris."- Perfect For You” ― Kate Perry
“But it was just as well, because we only had two things in common, and everyone knows you need at least four things in common with someone to make it work.” ― Kate Perry, Looking for You
“He was the perfect gentleman and, unlike the salesmen in the Fitzrovia hotel, there were no attempts at fumbling—in fact they often performed an awkward little dance around their small office to avoid touching at all, as if Juliet were a desk or a chair, not a girl in her prime. It seemed that she had acquired all the drawbacks of being a mistress and none of the advantages—like sex. (She was becoming bolder with the word, if not the act.) For Perry, it seemed to be the other way round—he had all the advantages of having a mistress and none of the drawbacks. Like sex.” ― Kate Atkinson, Transcription
“The brooding landscape they were currently traversing, the lowering sky above their heads and the rugged terrain beneath their feet, were all conspiring to make her feel like an unfortunate Brontë sister, traipsing endlessly across the moors after unobtainable fulfillment. Perry himself was not entirely without Heathcliffian qualities—the absence of levity, the ruthless disregard for a girl’s comfort, the way he had of scrutinizing you as if you were a puzzle to be solved. Would he solve her? Perhaps she wasn’t complicated enough for him. (On the other hand, perhaps she was too complicated.)” ― Kate Atkinson, Transcription
“You really don't know who Obi-Wan is. How could anyone not know Obi-Wan Kenobi?” ― Kate Perry, Playing Doctor
“it's not a matter of knowing what to do, it's allowing yourself to be free enough to see possibilities.” ― Kate Perry, Looking for You
“The way you set this up is brilliant, Valentine.” ― Kate Perry, Tamed by You
“He smiled ruefully. “Am I that hopeless?” “Not hopeless, darling, just clueless. But you’re a man. You can’t help it.” ― Kate Perry, Loved by You
“You need me to inspire you and remind you how wonderful you are. You need me to kiss you." He lowered his head and pressed his lips on her neck.
