Misc. Love 43...

It is strange how often a heart can be broken before the years can make it wise.

But sometimes, we just have to be happy with what people can offer us. Even if it's not what we want, at least it's something. You know? -Sarah Dessen, Lock and Key

I'm taking one of those quiet moments where I weigh your good qualities against your bad ones and decide if you're actually worth the trouble. - Scrubs

There are millons of people in the world, and the spirits will see that most of them, you never have to meet. but there are one or two that you are tied to, and the spirits will cross you back and forth, threading so many knots until they catch and you finally get it right. -Jodi Picoult, Picture Perfect

At the end of the day, you either focus on
what seperates you.. or what holds you together.
-The OC

And unless you marry your high school sweetheart (and even sometimes then), there is usually a not-so-glorious back story. There are people and places and events that lead you to your final relationship, people and places and events you'd prefer to forget or at least gloss over. In the end, you can slap a pretty label on it-- like serendipity or fate. Or you can believe that it's just the random way life unfolds.-Emily Giffin, Love the One You're With

I want to dive headfirst into your arms,
give into your good looks and charms.
Sleep all day and love all night.
Forgive every stupid, petty fight.
I want to do more than sit and remember.
I want to relive all the moments
where you made me shiver.

Whenever you made a choice, especially one you'd be resisting, it always affected everything else, some in big way, like a tremor beneath your feet, others in so tiny a shift you hardly noticed a change at all. But it was happening. -Sarah Dessen, This Lullaby

There's a quickness in the way that things end. Sometimes when you're so completely happy, you can't help but wonder when things will change.

The worst thing about endings is knowing that just ahead is the daunting task of starting over -Jodi Picoult, Keeping Faith

Sometimes there's nothing to say. Sometimes silence expresses more than words. Picking up the phone, dialing a number, it can do more damage than good. But humans are afflicted with this obsessive desire to talk things to death. So we make things worse by trying to make things better.

Piglet: how do you spell love?
Pooh: you don't spell it. you feel it.
-Winnie The Pooh

Three months ago, if you asked me, I would have told you that if you really loved someone, you'd let them go. But now I look at you, and I dream about her, and I see that I've been wrong. If you really love someone, I think you have to take them back. -Jodi Picoult, Mercy

And we listen to the songs that say what we feel inside.

Needing was so easy: it came naturally, like breathing. Being needed by someone else, though, that was the hard part. -Sarah Dessen, Lock and Key

becky: i don't want to hurt you.
leland: then don't.
--United States of Leland

He was not my boyfriend. On the other hand, he wasn't just a friend either. Instead, our relationship was elastic, stretching between those two extremes depending on who else was around, how much either of us had to drink, and other varying factors. This was exactly what I wanted, as commitments had never really been my thing. And it wasn't like it was hard, either. The only trick was never giving more than you were willing to lose. -Sarah Dessen, Lock and Key

I close my eyes, inhale, and feel a rush of heat and energy that takes my breath away. It is the feeling of wanting something so much that it borders on an actual need, and the power and urgency of this need overwhelms me. -Emily Giffin, Love the One You're With
