I'm have trouble finding a quote about love.

Shinji well knew how sharp the villagers' tongues could be. Hatsue promised not to tell. Thus their well-founded fear of the village's love of gossip changed what was but an innocent meeting into a thing of secrecy between the two of them. (pg. 32)

...here they were in the end, free within the moral code to which they had been born, never once having been estranged from the providence of the gods...that, in short, it was this little island, enfolded in darkness, that had protected their happiness and brought their love to this fulfillment... (pg. 182)
