• In the end, it’s still best to wait for the one we want rather than settle for what’s available. It’s still best to wait for the one you love rather than to settle for the one who’s around. It’s still best to wait for the right person, because life’s too short to waste on the wrong one.
• The one you love and the one who loves you are never, ever the same person.

— Chuck Palaniuk, Invisible Monsters

• There comes a time in every life when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your own heart. So you’d better learn to know the sound of it. Otherwise you’ll never understand what it’s saying.

— Sarah Dessen, Just Listen

• Dreams do come true, if we only wish hard enough. You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.

— James M Barrie

• It’s called falling in love for a reason – because, inevitably, you crashed at the bottom.

— Jodi Picoult, Second Glance

• She was beautiful, in the quiet way that lonely, unnoticed people are beautiful to those who notice them.

— Jedediah Berry

• People jeer at first love…but I have seen how hot its flame can be in people of passionate nature, and how selfless it is in people who are inclined to be idealistic.

— Robertson Davies

• I think when you are young, you are hoping that this person will be the right one, the one you are going to be in love with forever but sometimes you want that so much you create something that isn’t really there.

— Johnny Depp

• You can’t measure the mutual affection of two human beings by the number of words they exchange.

— Milan Kundera

• No matter how hard I keep landing, I guess I owe it to myself to fall. Because the heart wants what the heart wants and apparently mine wants a nasty bruise.

— Samantha Who?

• People keep telling me that I fall in love too easily- that I should protect my heart, that I shouldn’t wear my heart on my sleeve… I fall in love at least 20 times a day. I fall in love with the sky and the sun and the flowers and my children. I fall in love with smiles, with music on the radio and with french fries and Dr. Pepper. I fall in love with the sound of laughter, blue jeans, accents… Sometimes I fall in love with complete strangers, especially the ones holding hands and kissing in public. The ones who aren’t afraid to be in love with the idea of being in love either. I don’t mind the pain of unrequited love so much, because I think they’re wrong. Love looks good on me.

— Natalie Anne Erlanson

• Please believe that things are good with me, and even when they’re not, they will be soon enough. And I will believe the same about you.

— The Perks of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

• You can never tell what people are thinking and feeling unless they tell you, and usually they lie. you ask them, ‘Whats wrong?’ and they say ‘Nothing’. You accept this because it’s easier than digging for the truth. People smile when they want to cry, they laugh when they want to scream and shout. They pretend like nothing is wrong because they don’t want to face the truth. Things aren’t always rainbows and butterflies, sometimes you gotta scream and cry your anger and sadness to the world, because you can only hold it in for so long before something in you snaps. so when you want to cry, cry. When you want to scream, scream. Don’t hide behind fake smiles, it’s ok to not be alright.

• It happens to everyone as they grow up; you find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that the people you’ve known forever don’t see things the way you do. And so you keep the memories but find yourself moving on.
