"There are many forms of love and affection, some people can spend their whole lives together without knowing each other's names. Naming is a difficult and time-consuming process; it concerns essences, and it means power. But on the wild nights who can call you home? Only the one who knows your name."

"When you need to be loved, you take love wherever you can find it. When you are desperate to be loved, feel love, know love, you seek out what you think love should look like. When you find love, or what you think love is, you will lie, kill, and steal to keep it. But learning about real love comes from within. It cannot be given. It cannot be taken away. It grows from your ability to re-create within yourself, the essence of loving experiences you have had in your life."

"and when love came to us twice and lied to us twice we decided to never love again that was fair fair to us and fair to love itself. we ask for no mercy or no miracles; we are strong enough to live and to die and to kill flies, attend the boxing matches, go to the racetrack, live on luck and skill, get alone, get alone often, and if you can't sleep alone be careful of the words you speak in your sleep; and ask for no mercy no miracles; and don't forget: time is meant to be wasted, love failsand death is useless."

"The thing with your heart's desire is that your heart doesn't even know what it desires until it turns up."

"Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning."

"I am surprised how difficult for people is to say "I love you". They only say the three magic words when they are sure they will hear "I love you too" back. C'mon! Spread the energy of love without expecting anything! Cowards are incapable of expressing love; it is the prerogative of the brave"

"Love is a drama of contradictions."

"Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours."

"I say, “In the contract we said we wouldn’t break each other’s hearts. What if we do it again?” Fiercely he says, “What if we do? If we’re so guarded, it’s not going to be anything. Let’s do it fucking for real, Lara Jean. Let’s go all in. No more contract. No more safety net. You can break my heart. Do whatever you want with it."

"Well, it's simple to love someone," she said. "But it's hard to know when you need to say it out loud."

"Love is not finding someone to live with. It's finding someone you can't live without."

"Love is a state in which a man sees things most decidedly as they are not."

"Love simply is."

"You have made a place in my heart where I thought there was no room for anything else. You have made flowers grow where I cultivated dust and stones. Remember this, on this journey you insist on making. If you die, I will not survive you long."

"Love: the sickest of Irony’s sick jokes. The place where logic and order go to die."

"It's not enough to believe! Don't you see that, you stupid girl? You could spend your whole life hoping and believing! If a love affair is one-sided, then it's only ever a question, never an answer. You can't live your life waiting for an answer."

"Their fingers seemed to fit together in just the right way- effortlessly clasped,like perfect complements."

"Love is not blind that is the last thing that it is. Love is bound and the more it is bound the less it is blind."

"Love...no such thing.Whatever it is that binds families and married couples together, that's not love. That's stupidity or selfishness or fear. Love doesn't exist. Self interest exists, attachment based on personal gain exists, complacency exists. But not love. Love has to be reinvented, that’s certain."

"Love as thou wilt"

"Almost all the time, you tell yourself you're loving somebody when you're just using them. This only looks like love."

"He promised her that he would give her everything, everything she wanted, as men in love always do. And she trusted him despite herself, as women in love always do."
