Once upon a time [Season 3, Episode 22]

But that monster is gone. And the man beneath him may be flawed... But we all are. And I love you for it. Sometimes the best book has the dustiest jacket. And sometimes the best teacup is chipped.

Belle... when we met, I wasn't just unloved and unloving. I was an enemy of love. Love had only brought me pain. My walls were up. But you broke them down. You brought me home. You brought light into my life and chased away all the darkness. And I vow to you I will never forget the distance between what I was and what I am. I owe more to you
than I can ever say. How you can see The man behind the monster, I will never know.

Rumplestiltskin... this thing we have, it's... it's never been easy. I've... I've lost you so many times. I've lost you to... to darkness, to weakness, and... and finally, to death. But now I realize... I realize that I have not spent my life losing you. I've spent my life finding you.
