- “A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there.”
- “A long time ago I learned not to explain things to people. It misleads them into thinking they’re entitled to know everything I do.”
- “After all, those who truly love, never stop loving.”
- “Almost. It’s a big word for me. I feel it everywhere. Almost home. Almost happy. Almost changed. Almost, but not quite… Soon, maybe.”
- “How beautiful to find a heart that loves you, without asking you for anything, but to be okay.”
- “I am easy to inspire; there is little I require.”
- “I am not a snob; it is simply that I am not interested with what most people have to say, or what they want to do — mostly with my time.”
- “I am so afraid of disappointing the people I love, I often forget that I am someone I love too. And I need kindness just as much as I believe the people I love do.”
- “I crave the deepest connections with others, but I just don’t trust anyone to let them in.”
- “I don’t believe in love at first sight but I do believe in seeing someone from across the room and knowing instantly that they’re going to matter to you. They’re going to play a major role in your life.”
- “I have always loved everything about you. Even what I didn’t understand.”
- “I never wanted to have anything in my life that I couldn’t stand losing.”
- “I take much pleasure in being alone, but there is also a strange warm grace in not being alone.”
- “I’m awfully difficult. But I do know when I love someone and I’ve loved you ever since I can remember.”
- “I’m going to tell you something: thoughts are never honest. Emotions are.”
- “I’m not really sure what I feel about you. All I know is that it’s warm and comforting and that I’d like to keep it as long as I can.”
- “I’m too quiet. But I’m really not quiet. I just tend to come across that way to new people because I don’t like to talk first.”
- “Learn to say ‘no’ without explaining yourself.”
- “Loving me will not be easy. Some days I will be a stuttering apology and you won’t know how to handle all the things I’ve done wrong.”
- “More and more I found myself at a loss for words and didn’t want to hear other people talking either. Their conversations seemed false and empty. I preferred to look at the sea, which said nothing and never made you feel alone.”
- “On an almost daily basis, I meticulously look for evidence that I am a nobody, that I don’t deserve to be loved, or that I’m not living up to my full potential.”
- “People think that being alone makes you lonely, but I don’t think that’s true. Being surrounded by the wrong people is the loneliest thing in the world.”
- “Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck.”
- “That was how you knew love. My mother had told me that all you had to do was imagine your life without the other person, and if the thought alone made you shiver, then you knew.”
- “The one thing I don’t want to be is a burden to anyone.”
- “The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself.”
- “There are days when I need to separate myself from them. I need my own space, to shrivel or expand alone. But sometimes being alone is too lonely. That’s when I go back to them, take refugee in their company.”
- “To trust is sometimes to surrender.”
- “We… need to forgive ourselves… For all the things we didn’t do. All the things we should have done. You can’t get stuck on the regrets of what should have happened.”
- “You are never alone. No matter what I promise there is always somebody out there who loves you, who thinks of you, who cares about you.”
- “You helped make me who I am. There will be a piece of you in me always.”
- “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
- “A relationship should not be measured in months or years. It’s the calibre of the memories that matter. Their impact, their permanence, and the degree to which they change you. I’ve had relationships lasting years I can now scarcely recollect, and hours with others that feel like infinities.”
- “…I like simple things, books, being alone, or with somebody who understands.”
- “But I would rather be alone. Than pretend I feel alright.”
