- We werenāt meant to be. At least not in this lifetime, but you gave me something to remember.
- Real love stories don't have endings.
- I donāt know whatās right and whatās real anymore. I donāt know how Iām meant to feel anymore.
- I never got over it, I just got used to it.
- I donāt understand closureā¦That word never resonated with me. The epiphany I hadā¦was that we grieve forever. Itās as much a part of our life as eating, sleeping, and love. We live in grief for having left the womb, for having left the teat, then school, then home. -William Shatner
- Scars
- If you are going to fall in love with me, itās only fair that you know what you are falling in love with. / You are falling in love with my insecurities, and my obsession with trying to figure out what everyone thinks of me. You are falling in love with my immaturity, my constant need to feel loved and appreciated, my overactive tear ducts, my internet obsession, my tendency to be too clingy. You fall in love with my troubled past, and my hopes and dreams, and how Iām a hopeless romantic at heart. If you fall in love with me, you fall in love with my self-hate and all my imperfections and my perception that nobody could ever love me. /But, you are also falling in love with the way my eyes will smile when Iām with you, the way Iāll text you in the mornings just telling you I hope you have a great day. Youāre falling in love with the occasionally humorous and/or thought-provoking things I say, and the way I blush when people ask me about you. But to me, the most important thing will be that you are falling in love with me, despite my thinking that it is impossible.
- Dawson: I saw you at the movie theater with that lipstick on, I remember thinking how pretty you looked. I mean, I ignored it, but I thought it. / Joey: Yeah? / Dawson: But that was it, Jo. It didnāt go any further than that. /Joey: When I saw you going for Jenās hand, I.. itās not like I wanted to be the one holding your hand. I just didnāt want her holding it. / Dawson: So where does that leave us? Itās all so complicated.
- Well maybe we can take a step back, and I'll just have to live with whatever you can give me.
- Believe me, I would love to be one of those people whoās all, āwe loved, thank you, you enriched my life, now go and prosper.ā But Iām much moreā¦ āwe didnāt work out, you need to not exist. Miranda Hobbes
- Seth: If there is one thing thatās undeniable, itās that I appreciate your daughter. / Dr. Roberts: As you made very clear yesterday when you called her ākinda coolā and āeasy on the eyesā. You gotta do better than that. / Seth: Well, sheās hilarious, for one. My favorite thing in the world is to make her laugh. āCause she has a crazy honk of a laugh, itās like Nelson from the Simpsons. / Dr. Roberts: She does have a contagious laugh. / Seth: Yeah, well, stop me before I say she makes me a better man, but she makes me more of a man. Thereās certainly less of a boy. I love every minute I spend with your daughter, sir, I really do. / Dr. Roberts: So, this wasnāt some goof? You really want to spend the rest of your life with her? / Seth: I do.
- On being selfish Why should I share you? Why donāt you get rid of someone else for a change? -- frank o'hara meditations in an emergency
- "We were together. I forget the rest." Walt Whitman
- "I like those with shortcomings. Because of her, I can forget my own shortcomings."
- No one writes songs about the ones that come easy.
- "Why donāt we break up? I guess I stay with her because she stays with me. And thatās not an easy thing to do." ā Chip, Looking for Alaska by John Green
- Why canāt we speak of love as a definite statement instead of a notion to be examined. It should not contain any doubts or hesitations, itās an unconditional feeling not an indisposition. It should grab us like a quick punch at an empty stomach. Nobody says āI think Iām hungry.ā They just say āIām hungry.ā
- "And when I think of you I will remember how important it is to be wise. And I hope when you think of me, you will remember how important it is to be happy."
- "People are screwed up in this world. Iād rather be with someone screwed up and open about it than somebody perfect andā¦ you knowā¦ ready to explode." ā Itās Kind of a Funny Story, Ned Vizzini
- There are times when I do not want to be the one you end up with. I would rather be a thought that wakes you violently in the morning, a dream that sends you toppling over the boxes in your room, urging you to rummage madly, but you will not find what you are missing. I want to be the forgotten letter you pull out of a dusty drawer by mistake, the words that cause your lungs to ache as your eyes trace the slant of my handwriting with water. I want to be the photograph tucked safely inside your favorite book, the one youāll never let your wife read. You will feel the need to look for me in every girl you meet. And you will remember me when you wear the black jacket thatās missing a button; you will think of how you lost it and what we were doing when you did. I want to be as wild and wanting and wicked as regret is known to be. Perhaps more. / I want to be the lover who will never age in your heart. The firestrong, windfierce mistress to every memory you love.
- "To him she seemed so beautiful, so seductive, so different from ordinary people, that he could not understand why no one was as disturbed as he by the clicking of her heels on the paving stones, why no one elseās heart was wild with the breeze stirred by the sighs of her veils, why everyone did not go mad with the movements of her braid, the flight of her hands, the gold of her laughter. He had not missed a single one of her gestures, not one of the indications of her character, but he did not dare approach her for fear of destroying the spell." ā Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Love In The Time Of Cholera
- "The more familiar two people become, the more the language they speak together departs from that of the ordinary, dictionary defined discourse. Familiarity creates a new language, an in-house language of intimacy that carries reference to the story the two lovers are weaving together and that cannot be readily understood by others." ā Alain de Botton
