“You don't love someone because they're perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're not.”

“If you can make a woman laugh, you can make her do anything.”

We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love—true love.”

“There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.”

“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.”

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”

“When someone loves you, the way they talk about you is different. You feel safe and comfortable.”

“To die will be an awfully big adventure.”

“A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.”

So it's not gonna be easy. It's going to be really hard; we're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me... everyday.”

Just when you think it can't get any worse, it can. And just when you think it can't get any better, it can.

“Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.”

“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”

“The one you love and the one who loves you are never, ever the same person.”

“Some people don't understand the promises they're making when they make them," I said.

I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together

“When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”

 

[withlove]

“One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.”

 

[withlove]

“Love is needing someone. Love is putting up with someone's bad qualities because they somehow complete you.”
