You're asking me to define an abstract concept that no one has managed to explain since time began. You sort of sprang it on me, " Gansey said. "Why do we breathe air? Because we love air? Because we don't want to suffocate. Why do we eat? Because we don't want to starve. How do I know I love her? Because I can sleep after I talk to her. Why? Maggie Stiefvater
About This Quote

You're asking me to define an abstract concept that no one has managed to explain since time began. You sort of sprang it on me," Gansey said. "Why do we breathe air? Because we love air? Because we don't want to suffocate. Why do we eat? Because we don't want to starve.

How do I know I love her? Because I can sleep after I talk to her. Why? Sometimes, when our minds are tired from thinking, when our minds are tired from analyzing, when our minds are tired from the day’s events, it’s good to take a break and just think about how you feel about someone else. It’s good to think about that feeling of contentment that you get when you hear their voice or look into their eyes or smell their hair or just smell them in general.

That’s how you know you love someone.
