The course of true love never did run smooth.
I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it -- to be fed so much love I couldn't take any more. Just once.
Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.
You know it's never fifty-fifty in a marriage. It's always seventy-thirty, or sixty-forty. Someone falls in love first. Someone puts someone else up on a pedestal. Someone works very hard to keep things rolling smoothly; someone else sails along for the ride.
My wish is that you may be loved to the point of madness.
The world was collapsing, and the only thing that really mattered to me was that she was alive.
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
If you love something set it free, but don't be surprised if it comes back with herpes.
livid, adj. Fuck You for cheating on me. Fuck you for reducing it to the word cheating. As if this were a card game, and you sneaked a look at my hand. Who came up with the term cheating, anyway? A cheater, I imagine. Someone who thought liar was too harsh. Someone who thought devastator was too emotional. The same person who thought, oops, heβd gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Fuck you. This isnβt about slipping yourself an extra twenty dollars of Monopoly money. These are our lives. You went and broke our lives. You are so much worse than a cheater. You killed something. And you killed it when its back was turned.
This is what we call love. When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there's no need at all to understand what's happening, because everything happens within you.
I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.
Adapt yourself to the things among which your lot has been cast and love sincerely the fellow creatures with whom destiny has ordained that you shall live.
If it is your time, love will track you down like a cruise missile.
Love at first sight is easy to understand; it's when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle.
First love is a kind of vaccination which saves a man from catching the complaint the second time.
I have learned not to worry about love; but to honor its coming with all my heart.
Many people when they fall in love look for a little haven of refuge from the world, where they can be sure of being admired when they are not admirable, and praised when they are not praiseworthy.
It is an extra dividend when you like the girl you've fallen in love with.
I was nauseous and tingly all over. I was either in love or I had smallpox.
Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new.
