The Me Before You Quotes That Will Fill (and Break) Your Heart

Louisa: "I would rather be with you — even the you that you seem to think is diminished — than with anyone else in the world." Will: "You are scored on my heart." Louisa: "Then he smiled. It was lovely, his smile — a slow thing, full of recognition." Louisa: " . . . And I told him a story of two people. Two people who shouldn't have met, and who didn't like each other much when they did, but who found they were the only two people in the world who could possibly have understood each other." Will: "Live boldly. Push yourself. Don't settle." Will: "Just live well. Just live."

Will: "You only get one life. It's actually your duty to live it as fully as possible." Will: "Some mistakes . . . just have greater consequences than others. But you don't have to let that night be the thing that defines you." Louisa: "But there, in the inky dark, half drunk from lack of sleep, with the fire and the endless sea and infinite sky, with the sounds of the music in our ears and Will smiling and my heart bursting with something I couldn't quite identify, I just needed to dance." Will: "I will never, ever regret the things I've done. Because most days, all you have are places in your memory that you can go to." Louisa: "I hadn't realized that music could unlock things in you, could transport you to somewhere even the composer hadn't predicted. It left an imprint in the air around you, as if you carried its remnants with you when you went."
