"You want to take me to a movie?" I asked. "Well, not really," he said. "What I really want is for you to be my girlfriend. But I thought saying that might scare you off."

"Maybe it's just hiding somewhere. Or gone on a trip to come home. But falling in love is always a pretty crazy thing. It might appear out of the blue and just grab you. Who knows — maybe even tomorrow."

"Everything want to be loved. Us sing and dance and holler, just trying to be loved."

"When I like people immensely I never tell their names to anyone. It is like surrendering a part of them. I have grown to love secrecy."

"Love is like the sea. It's a moving thing, but still and all, it takes its shape from the shore it meets, and it's different with every shore."

"You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving."

"The thing is, that world doesn't exist. All growing up means is that your realize no one will come along to fix things. No one will come along to save you."

"Thank you...for gracing my life with your lovely presence, for adding the sweet measure of your soul to my existence."

"I realized I’m in love. It's always been right in front of me."

"Love cannot live where there is no trust."

"Love's gift cannot be given, it waits to be accepted."

"I understood that as much as I had resisted the outside, as much as I had constricted my life, as much as I had closed and narrowed the channels into me, there were still many takers for the quiet heart."

"Love is like a good cake; you never know when it's coming, but you'd better eat it when it does!"

"You said move on, where do I go?"

"My mother used to tell me that when push comes to shove, you always know who to turn to. That being a family isn't a social construct but an instinct."

"The most introspective of souls are often those that have been hurt the most."

"What barrier is there that love cannot break?"

"Our lips met hungrily, and his clever artistic hands wrapped around my hips. A sudden buzz from my regular cell phone startled me from the kissing."Don't," said Adrian, his eyes ablaze and breathing ragged."What if there's a crisis at school?" I asked. "What if Angeline 'accidentally' stole one of the campus buses and drove it into the library?""Why would she do that?""Are you saying she wouldn't?"He sighed. "Go check it."

"Her existence alone was excuse enough to justify the creation of the entire world."

"It is that we are never so defenseless against suffering as when we love, never no helplessly unhappy as when we have lost our loved object of its love."

"The knowledge that she would never be loved in return acted upon her ideas as a tide acts upon cliffs."

"The purpose of relationship is not to have another who might complete you, but to have another with whom you might share your completeness."
