The feeling of loving her and being loved by her welled up in him, and he could taste the adrenaline in the back of his throat, and maybe it wasn't over, and maybe he could feel her hand in his again and hear her loud, brash voice contort itself into a whisper to say I-love-you as if it were a secret, and an immense one. John Green
About This Quote

In the movie "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest," by Ken Kesey, there is a scene where the main character, Jack Nicholson's character, begins to choke from his mental illness. He begins to feel a little dizzy and slightly disoriented. His wife notices his distress and tries to help him with a kiss. The kiss is a way of showing him that he is loved and wanted in the world. This scene shows how our feelings of love can overcome our most difficult obstacles.
