1	->''"So, it's Valentine's Day and there's a place I stop by once a year. Nobody knows. I don't make a big deal out of it. It's about remembering [[ComicBook/GwenStacy someone]] who was so important to me I was going to spend the rest of my life with her. I didn't know that meant she would only get to spend the rest of '''her''' life with me. There is nothing I can do about it and I've come to accept that. But, when you lose someone you love, everyone tells you to pick up and move on. 'Don't dwell on the past.' 'It is what '''she''' would want.' And that makes me smile. Like I would ever want to forget you."''

28	->''"I'd propose there's a counterpart to the [[ManicPixieDreamGirl MPDG]], though I don't have nearly as catchy a name. That would be the guilt-inducing ghost wife, filmed in ethereal late afternoon light, fragile, frequently desexualized, a specter of memory and failure haunting our tortured, widowed heroes -- ''why couldn't I '''save''' her'' -- in visions, flashbacks or more fantastical set-ups. (...) Idealized and resented, ghost wives are both saint and tormentor, instrumental to the plot, spurring our mourning hero on to seek revenge, redemption or resolution. Like the MPDG, there's a distinct subjective quality to their characterization -- they're along for the ride, but they don't get to tell the story. Unlike the MPDG, being dead, the best they can hope for is to be banished or joined in the afterlife."''

32	->''Now, never losing sight of the object--supremeness or perfection at all points, I asked myself--"Of all melancholy topics what, according to the universal understanding of mankind, is the most melancholy?" Death, was the obvious reply. "And when," I said, "is this most melancholy of topics most poetical?" From what I have already explained at some length the answer here also is obvious--"When it most closely allies itself to Beauty: the death then of a beautiful woman is unquestionably the most poetical topic in the world, and equally is it beyond doubt that the lips best suited for such topic are those of a bereaved lover."''

56	->''"Someone extremely dear to me was lost very early in my life. My mind has always plagued me with the question: If the choice been placed in my hands, could I have saved her? The memory of her has haunted me my entire life, and more so in these last few years than I could ever have imagined.
