OF SOME WORDS ON LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS

“When you are in a relationship, you are aware that it might end. You might grow apart, find someone else, simply fall out of love. But friendship isn’t a zero-sum game, and as such, you assume that it will last forever, especially an old friendship.” — Something Borrowed (Emily Giffin)

“Some people meet the way the sky meets the earth, inevitably, and there is no stopping or holding back their love. It exists in a finished world, beyond the reach of common sense.” — Louise Erdrich

“Love shouldn’t beg and demand. Love must have the power to get confidence in itself. Only then it won’t be attracted, but will attract.” — Hermann Hesse

“I’ve met a guy who’s not scared to laugh at me and call me a loser when I do something dumb. A guy that will run up behind me and cover my eyes and ask me to guess who he is, even though it’s obvious. A guy who hides behind a corner and jumps out to scare me, so he’d have a reason to hold me. A guy that leaves me numerous voice mails, just cause. a guy that’d call to wake me up in the morning, because he wants to be the first voice I hear each day. A guy that would never let go of my hand. A guy that would look me in the eyes and tell me he loves me and mean it. Yeah, that guy. I think I found the guy I’m suppose to give my whole heart to.” — poeticheartache

“If you hold back on the emotions – if you don’t allow yourself to go all the way through them – you can never get to being detached, you’re too busy being afraid. You’re afraid of the pain, you’re afraid of the grief. You’re afraid of the vulnerability that loving entails. But by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your heard even, you experience them fully and completely.” — Mitch Albom

“Cherish your friends, stay true to your principles, live passionately and fully and well. Experience new things. Love and be loved, if you ever get the chance. That was her general theory, even if she hadn’t made a very good start of it.” — “One Day”, David Nicholls

“Your heart just breaks, that’s all. But you can’t judge, or point fingers. You just have to be lucky enough to find someone who appreciates you.” — Audrey Hepburn

“The easiest kind of relationship is with ten thousand people, the hardest is with one.” — Joan Baez

“If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don’t want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it too. I want them to be able to do whatever they want around me.” — The Perks of Being a Wallflower
