"I love you. I've always loved you, Taichi. I'm sorry."
— Touma, to Taichi. Blue Flag
"I… I love you with all my heart! If you were to stay with me… there would be no regrets. Because everyday, we’d do something fun. We’d be happy, I swear! Please, stay with me. I’ll even help you with your revenge. I don’t know what I could do but I’ll try my best to do something. So please, stay with me, or take me with you if you can’t stay here."
— Sakura to Sasuke before he leaves the Hidden Leaf Village, Naruto
"I look creepy...like this, don't I? This is only part of it. If you knew the real me...I think you'd hate me a lot more....I wanted to get closer to you too. It actually made me...really happy. When you started talking to me on the stairs...what you told me at the pancake place...when you took my hand and stood up for me...the way you're talking to me face-to-face right now — all of it. I just wanted to make sure you knew that...I know you can't accept me...now that I've grown a tail like this..."
—Kuroe Akaishi, Kaiju Girl Caramelise
Isla: I… I… [takes a deep breath] When you told me about your feelings, I thought that I shouldn’t make any more memories! Because we’ll only get torn apart and it would only make our parting more painful. Because as the one left behind, you’d be the one getting hurt! For your sake, above all else, I… I decided that I should stay away from you. That’s what I decided. And yet… I tried to imagine it. [Isla begins to cry and tears fall on Tsukasa’s lap] I wondered… how you would remember me in the future. Probably cold, lonely, and sad… only that version of me. You wouldn’t have anything good left to remember me by. And that’s not… that’s not what I want! [The camera glances on the colleagues, some of whom are already crying]
Tsukasa: Isla… [Tsukasa reaches for Isla before she grabs his hand tightly[
Isla: What I want… is to make more memories with you! I want you to remember that I was here!!! Until the end! Until the end… I want to be with you, Tsukasa.
Tsukasa: Don’t worry. I’ll always be with you.
Isla: [beat] I’m in love with you… Tsukasa.
Tsukasa: Isla… [Tsukasa reaches for Isla before she grabs his hand tightly[
Isla: What I want… is to make more memories with you! I want you to remember that I was here!!! Until the end! Until the end… I want to be with you, Tsukasa.
Tsukasa: Don’t worry. I’ll always be with you.
Isla: [beat] I’m in love with you… Tsukasa.
"I don't want to go back to the real world. Can't I go back to hell? I want to be together with you! Akira, I'll go anywhere as long as you're with me! I could go to heaven, or hell, or the ends of the universe! However! Akira, I can't go anywhere without you. Please Akira! Don't make me leave your side. [...] You really mean it?! The day I can meet you in the real world is coming? If that's the case I can go back to the real world. Farewell, my love."

Ran: Shinichi...You can't run away anymore. Explain to me what this is all about. SHINICHI!
Shinichi: [walks out of telephone booth] Explain what? I just happen to have come to London as well.
Agasa: [hiding] Hey, hey...Don't tell me he took the antidote meant for the return trip?
Ran: Then, why were you running?
Shinichi: That's because...I forgot to tell you I was coming to London...So I thought it'd be awkward...
Ran: Why didn't you tell me? You had plenty of chances, didn't you?
Shinichi: Well, that's...
Ran: Stupid...Stupid of me...I got excited over nothing I did so much research, and was worried to death about your stuff...Wasn't that stupid of me?! It's just like that person said. Love is 0...No matter how much you add to zero, you'll just lose miserably.
Shinichi: What are you talking about?
Ran: Minerva Glass-san said so!
Shinichi: Minerva Glass! You met the Grass Court Queen?
Ran: I did! At Baker Street! So what?!
Shinichi: At Baker Street? Then, was there a kid with her?
Ran: There was...She said he was her younger brother...
Shinichi: Did that kid say anything? Like if he came back because remembered anything? [Ran begins to cry]
Shinichi: Hey, calm down!
Ran: [crying] Calm down...? Don't you get it...? You're a detective aren't you? If you call yourself a detective, then why don't you try to deduce what's in my heart?! Idiot! [runs off]
Shinichi: Hey wait! [chases Ran] Ran! I said wait! Ran! [catches Ran's arm] Hey!!
Ran: No, let me go!
Shinichi: You're really troublesome!
Ran: Huh?
Shinichi: You're a troublesome and tough case, you know! With all these distracting emotions... Even if I were Holmes it'd still be impossible to figure out! The heart of a woman whom one likes... How can anyone accurately deduce that?

Peter Parker: I almost died tonight. And yeah, I get it, that happens a lot. But this felt...this felt different. And the truth is...if I am being honest, nothing has felt right for a long time. I think I know why. We've been through so much together. And I know that on my end at least, if you hadn't been there— I wouldn't have survived it. Because, yeah, I can do a lot of things. Swing from buildings, climb walls. All that stuff. But to do this? And do it right? I need you. I wish I had all the answers. I wish I knew how to make everything better and safer and easier and simpler — but I just— I just can't anymore. Maybe this is a mistake. I'm sorry. This isn't fair to you. Maybe I should—
Mary Jane Watson: Whoa, whoa. Easy, tiger— (kisses Peter). We're in this together, Pete. We've always have been.

Rin: I don't want your help. (mumbling) Because I don't want you to get hurt.
Shirou: Sorry, what was that second part?
Rin: (mumbling) Because you're important, I don't want you to die.

"Like what you see, Carol? If there's anything of Carol Ferris still left in you, and there has to be, I don't see how you could. Do you remember what you used to see in the mirror, Carol? The face of a compassionate woman? The woman who loved me, and whom I loved in return? I can remember, Carol. I think you can, too. If you can remember her, Carol, I want you to remember how she felt about me. How I felt about her, too. Because I still feel that way, Carol. I want you back. I want to take the real Carol Ferris back home with me, and make her my wife. Failing that... I at least want the real Star Sapphire to take over again. Not the woman I see before me, not somebody who could be a female Hitler, given enough time... but the woman who fought me, at times, but who was never evil. I'm not asking you to do this for me. Do it for the people you rule. And do it, more than anything, for yourself. Do it, Carol. Now."
— Hal Jordan, With this Ring... (Green Lantern)
"Kathryn, I have done many things in my life, all of them to satisfy my own wants. But for a long time, all I have done, I have done for you. It is in my nature to take what I want and to guard it with everything I have and however I can. I will not apologise for who I am. You do not want that, no matter how you may pretend to. And I cannot change what I am; a dragon will not be brought down so. But… I want you. I want you more than anything else in this world. I tried to keep you before, but all it did was bring us to this. I don't want you here out of obligation, I want YOU! A dragon never gives up their treasures, and you are my greatest treasure! But you're more than that, you are my mate, my one, the one I will bind myself to. Yet you still turn your back on me?! YOU have broken ME! My life was fine until you entered it, until you changed everything for me; now all I can think is of you, all I want is for your happiness. You make me do things that hurt my pride and drive me MAD just for a taste of your affections! I would do anything for you, be anything for you! Is that not enough?! I love you!"
— Smaug, The Heart Trilogy, Heart of Ashes
Akira: Goro, listen to me. Would you really be satisfied making the decision to live your life as an imitation of yourself?
Goro: If that's what it takes... You heard what Maruki said. Right now... like this... I'm parts of my true self. Just the good parts. Isn't that enough? I can't be happy like that [his old self]! No one will ever love me if I'm like that!

Angie: Just tell me, Oscar, 'cause I'm curious. Why do you think [Lola]'s interested, huh? Do you think, for one minute, that she would even be WITH you if you weren't the rich and famous Sharkslayer? Are you that blind?
Oscar: At least she treats me like I'm somebody!
Angie: Yeah, well, would she love you if you were nobody?
Oscar: NOBODY LOVED ME WHEN I WAS NOBODY!
Angie: I DID! ...Before the money...before the fame...Before the lie...to me, you were a somebody, Oscar. Now you're nothing but a fake. A sham. A con. You're a joke.

Eowyn: My Lord Aragorn. I am to be sent to be with the women into the caves?
Aragorn: That is an honorable charge.
Eowyn: To mind the children? To find food and bedding for the men when they return? What renown is there in that?
Aragorn: [gently] My Lady, there may come a time for valor without renown. Who, then, will your people look to in their last defense?
Eowyn: ...Let me stand at your side.
Aragorn: It is not in my power to command it. [he starts to leave]
Eowyn: You do not command the others to stay! They fight beside you because they would not be parted from you! Because they love you! [Aragorn stops and turns to face her, stunned. Eowyn is mortified.] I am sorry. [She walks away]

"I thought love was something only idiots thought they felt, but this woman has a hold on my heart that I could not break if I wanted to. And there have been times that I wanted to! It has been...overwhelming, and humbling, and even painful at times. But I could not stop loving her any more than I could stop breathing. I am hopelessly, irretrievably in love with her. More than she knows."

Flemming: You're the woman he loves!
River: No, I'm not.
Flemming: She's lying!
River: The Doctor does not, and has never loved me. I'm not lying.
Hydroflax: [scans River] Confirmed. The lifeform is not lying.
Flemming: I-im-impossible! This is a trick!
River: No, it isn't.
Flemming: My information is correct! You are the woman who loves the Doctor!
River: Yes, I am. I never denied it. But whoever said that he loved me back? He's the Doctor. He doesn't going around falling in love with people! And if you think he's anything that small or that ordinary, then you haven't the first idea of what you're dealing with.
Flemming: Y-y-your Majesty, I assure you. She is the perfect bait. When this woman is in danger, the Doctor will always come.
River: Oh, you are a moron. No, he won't!
Flemming: He's probably already here!
River: No, he isn't! Of course he isn't!
Flemming: Possibly on this ship!

The Doctor: River...
River: Go on, scan the whole parsec! He's not here! God knows where he is right now, but I promise you he's doing whatever the hell he wants and not giving a damn about me! And I'm just fine with that! When you love the Doctor, it's like loving the stars themselves. You don't expect a sunset to admire you back! And if I happen to find myself in any danger, let me tell you... the Doctor isn't stupid enough or sentimental enough and he is certainly not in love enough to find himself standing in it with me...

Chloe: So yet in another classic maneuver to avoid emotional intimacy, I wrote my feelings down so that I could read them to you, thereby avoiding the embarrassing eye contact. [takes a deep breath and starts to read] I want to let you in on a little secret, Clark. I'm not who you think I am. In fact, my disguise is so thin, I'm surprised you haven't seen right through me. I'm the girl of your dreams masquerading as your best friend. Sometimes I want to rip off this façade like I did at the Spring Formal, but I can't because you'll get scared and run away again. So I decided that it's better to live with the lie than expose my true feelings. This is so much easier when you are unconscious. [tenderly caresses Clark's hair] My dad told me there are two types of girls: the ones you grow out of, and the ones you grow into. I really hope I'm the latter. [starts tearing up] I may not be the one you love today, but I'll let you go for now, hoping one day you'll fly back to me. Because I think you're worth the wait. [again, carefully strokes Clark's brow] Clark? [Clark smiles and stirs in his sleep]

And we can live our separate lives, and I will have this baby alone, and I will make do and fill my days and survive. All on my own. I will do that. But first, you have to say that you do not love me. You have to tell me that I am utterly alone in this world.
George: I am a madman. I am a danger. In my mind, there are different worlds creeping in. The heavens and Earth collide. I do not know where I am.
Charlotte: Do you love me?
George: You do not wish a life with me for yourself. No one wishes that.
Charlotte: George! I will stand with you between the heavens and the Earth. I will tell you where you are. Do you love me?
George: I love you! From the mo—from the moment I saw you trying to go over the wall... I have loved you desperately. I cannot breathe when you are not near. I love you, Charlotte. My heart calls your name. [He starts crying.] I wanted to tell you. I wanted you to know. This... madness has been my secret my entire life. This darkness is... is my burden. You bring the light.
[She holds him.]
Charlotte: George. It is you and me. We can do this. Together.
Charlotte: Do you love me?
George: Charlotte... Please, stop!

I snuck in through the garden gate
every night that summer just to seal my fate,
and I scream, "For whatever it's worth,
I love you. Ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?"

Richard: [reluctantly] …I… I screw up without you.
Nathan: What?
Richard: I screw up without you, okay!
Nathan: …you never said you needed me before.
Nathan: What?
Richard: I screw up without you, okay!
Nathan: …you never said you needed me before.
What about love?
I never mentioned love
The timing's bad, I know
But perhaps if I made it more clear
That you belong right here
You wouldn't have to go

You wouldn't have to go

"I kept remembering about that time, that time when you moved away… It's so oppressing, so painful. Just by thinking that you will disappear in front of me, the tears… come out… I don't want it, to be like this, to be like this… because I LOVE YOU!

"To Hell with 'light and casual'! I don't want to be light and casual with you. I don't want to pretend that what I feel about you is some stupid, frothy thing that doesn't matter because it is like the axis that my world turns on. And yeah, we could talk ourselves out of it because it's scary and hard, and maybe the world's about to end, but if it is, then I want us to have something good to hold onto. I love you. Why shouldn't that be something good?"
