Loving To The Moon And Back Quotes & Sayings

The Lord of the Rings has been read by many people since it finally appeared in print; and I should like to say something here with reference to the many opinions or guesses that I have received or have read concerning the motives and meaning of the tale. The prime motive was the desire of a tale-teller to try his hand at a really long story that would hold the attention of readers, amuse them, delight them, and at times maybe excite them or deeply move them.

Whereas Mike was always beside her. She would stand at the kitchen window and look out at the quad, at the Melville statue and beyond that the beach and the rolling lake, and realize that Make, for however long, had been standing beside her, staring at the same thing. — Chad Harbach

It was her eyes and my eyes and I felt a surging sensation of rightness, of saying the right thing at the right time to the right person. — Maggie Stiefvater

It's not an easy thing to tell a true story. — Allen Morris Jones

I love you for loving me, and I love you for allowing me to love you. I love you to the moon and back. Forever. — Claire Contreras
