“I don’t think it’s possible to love as much as I love you.”

Your threats are hollow, don’t you see? ‘I won’t be received in London. I won’t be welcome at court.’ How do I make you understand? I couldn’t care less.

Life can be terribly unfair, can’t it? Everything seems so golden one minute, then turns to ashes the next. Can I ask you a question, Carson? Have you ever felt your life was somehow…slipping away? And there was nothing you could do to stop it?…The odd thing is, I feel…for the first time, really…I understand what it is to be happy. It’s just that I know that I won’t be.

matthew and mary from downton abbey it's because of something tom said - that i would never be happy with anyone else, as long as you walked the earth, which is true...and i think you feel the same about me.

I wish Matthew were here. It’s funny. I feel as if I’m only half myself without him.
