Tatia: I think its too big to fit

Courage, Alexander..... Courage, Tatiana

I love you breathlessly, my amazing man.

Tatiana and the soldier were having a silence

Memory - that fiend, that cruel enemy of comfort.

I wish I could spend six years writing one novel.

Love is, to be loved,” said Alexander, “in return.

The days of idealism had gone. Only life was left.

"Alexander, were you looking for me?" "All my life."

They had no past. They had no future. They just were.

I'll take your breath any way you give it to me, Shura.

Courage, Alexan­der,” she whis­pered. “Courage, Ta­tiana.

Tania, there is so much still ahead of you. Be patient with life

He is just protective over me-” “Not protective, Tania. Consumed.

When I was growing up, 'Anna Karenina' was one of my favourite books.

Live as if you have faith,” she said, “and faith shall be given to you.

Daughters are supposed to be friends to their mothers in their old age.

Love is when he is hungry and you feed him. Love is knowing when he is hungry.

You are my hand grenade, my artillery fire. You have replaced my heart with yourself.

Alexander to Tatiana: I love you as much as it is possible for a man to love a woman.

This is days and days and months and years and all the minutes in between, just you me.

And that's my point: all great things worth having require great sacrifice worth giving.

Please stop looking at me, she thought, afraid of his eyes and terrified of her own heart.

Oh Alexander," she said, "what do you want from me..." "Everything!" he whispered fiercely.

The power you have over someone who loves you is greater than any other power you'll ever have.

Some words were like that. Whole lives attached to them. Ghosts and lives and ecstasy and sorrow.

When Tatiana looked up from her ice cream, she saw a soldier staring at her from across the street.

Thank you," she whispered, "for keeping yourself alive, soldier." "You're welcome," he whispered back.

He sent you to redeem me, to comfort me, and to heal me—and that’s just so far,” he added with a smile.

Alexander knew that before he had light instead of darkness, he had to deserve light instead of darkness.

Tania, last time in Morozovo, I let you go, but not this time. This time we live together or we die together.

I don't want this life to end," said Alexander. "The good, the bad, the everything, the very old, to ever end.

Not bombs nor my broken heart can take away from me walking barefoot with you in jasmine June through the Field of Mars.

Falling in love with you in the Summer Garden in the white nights in Leningrad is the moment that propels me through life.

Tatiana realized she was too young to hide well what was in her heart but old enough to know that her heart was in her eyes.

If I can live through this, he thought, I can live through anything. If I can live through this, I WILL live through anything.

I was blinded by stupidity for a brief moment in our life, for a flicker in the eternity in which you and I live, and I stumbled.

Everything comes at a price. Everthing in your life. The question you have to ask yourself is, what price are you willing to pay?

There are some battles, no matter how much you don’t want to fight them, that you just have to fight. That are worth giving your life for.

....and when Tatiana lifted her glistening eyes to him, Alexander was looking down at her with his I’ll-get-on-the-bus-for-you-anytime face.

I know that sometimes the things we carry become too much for us. We are burned down, but somehow we have to pick ourselves up and keep going

I tend to be a great optimist when it comes to the United States and the American way of life, I think precisely because I wasn't born into it.

Tatiana: "Why did we spend two days fighting when we could have been doing this?" Alexander: "That wasn't fighting, Tatiana. That was foreplay.

Ask yourself these three questions, Tatiana Metanova, and you will know who you are. Ask: What do believe in? What do you hope for? What do you love?

Shura...are you...in love with me?" "Turn to me," Alexander said. She turned. "Tatia, I worship you. I'm crazy in love with you. I want you to marry me.

You have to keep your audience in your mind; if you're writing stuff that you know nobody's going to care about then you should rethink what you're doing!

And then, because she was Tatiana and because she couldn’t help herself, and because he wouldn’t have it any other way, she ran to him and was in his arms.

We walk alone through this world, but if we're lucky, we have a moment of belonging to something, to someone, that sustains us through a lifetime of loneliness.

If there is God, I thought...Please some day let me make love to this girl while she wears that dress." "Oh..." "Tatiasha...isn't it nice to know there is a God?
