- "Sometimes being a good friend means saying nothing" "I'm just supposed to watch her make a mistake?" "Sometimes, yes. And then you stand by to pick up the pieces."
- “A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we’ve found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.” - Richard Bach
- "Let's ignore each other, and try to pretend the other doesn't exist. But deep down, we both know it wasn't supposed to end like this."
- “My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style." -Maya Angelou
- "If there ever is a tomorrow when we're not together, there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, & smarter than you think. But the most important thing is even if we are apart, I'll always be with you." - Winnie the Pooh
- "Who are you to judge the life I live? I'm not perfect and I don't live to be. But before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean." - Bob Marley
- "Contrary to what the cynics say, distance is not for the fearful, it is for the bold. It's for those who are willing to spend a lot of time alone in exchange for a little time with the one they love. It's for those knowing a good thing when they see it, even if they don't see it nearly enough."
- "Just say what you mean and mean what you say. Don't expect someone to read your mind, and don't play games with heads or hearts. Don't tell half truths and expect trust when the full truth comes out. Half truths are no better then lies. Don't be cold to someone you care about - indifference hurts more then angry words."
- "A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesnt believe, and leaves before she is left." - Marilyn Monroe
- “I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.” - Audrey Hepburn
- "In three words i can sum up everything i've learned about life: it goes on." - Robert Frost.
- "For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to recieve it." - Ivan Panin
- “Lose yourself in me. Just wander into my heart and never look back.” - Tyler Knott Gregson
- “What I want is to be needed. What I need is to be indispensable to somebody. Who I need is somebody that will eat up all my free time, my ego, my attention. Somebody addicted to me. A mutual addiction.” - Chuck Palanhuik
- “Heroes didn’t leap tall buildings or stop bullets with an outstretched hand; they didn’t wear boots and capes. They bled, and they bruised, and their superpowers were as simple as listening, or loving. Heroes were ordinary people who knew that even if their own lives were impossibly knotted, they could untangle someone else’s. And maybe that one act could lead someone to rescue you right back.” - Jodi Picoult (Second Glance)
- “True love is not so much a matter of romance as it is a matter of anxious concern for the well-being of one’s companion.” - Gordon B. Hinckley
- “You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.” — Bob Marley
- “Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being “in love” which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.” — Captain Corelli’s Mandolin
- "There is no person in the world who is made to handle every punch that's thrown at them. We aren't made that way. In fact, we're made to get mad, upset, sad, hurt, stumble and fall. We aren't supposed to be able to handle everything. But that's what makes us stronger in the end. By learning from the things that hurt us most."
- “Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from the inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves.” — Mitch Albom (The Five People You Meet in Heaven)
- “The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved - loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.” — Victor Hugo
- “What did it feel like, I wondered, to love someone that much? So much that you couldn’t even control yourself when they came close, as if you might just break free of whatever was holding you and throw yourself at them with enough force to easily overwhelm you both.” - Sarah Dessen (This Lullaby)
- "Falling in love with someone isn't always going to be easy... Anger... tears... laughter.. It's when you want to be together despite it all. That's when you truly love another. I'm sure of it.”
