Misc. Love 49....

Things weren't the same with us, not right away, and maybe not ever. We were growing up. We were still figuring out how to be in each other's liveswithout being everything to each other. -Jenny Han, We'll Always Have Summer

I love badly. That is, too little or too much. I throw myself over an unsuitable cliff, only to reel back in horror from a simple view out the window. -Jeanette Winterson, Gut Symmetries

We all witnessed, discussed, and made a mental note of our friends’ so-called ‘failures’ through life, particularly in relationships. Yet when it came to making our own choices, we always thought that, somehow, it would be different for us. That the man we met would never cheat on us, that we in turn would never cheat on them. We had to have that eternal optimism, Jo reckoned, or none of us would ever get married or make any level of commitment in life. -Jane Moore, Foreplay

I don’t pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me. Love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person. Love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of. Love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you. -The OC

Out of nowhere, you come walking in....without warning. I wondered where you'd been. In all of my life, how did I find a woman like you, just in time. Oh, here comes love.... like a flash flood. -Randy Rogers

I filled my head with thoughts of the future, of infinite possibly. There’s someone out there who will one day find me and fall in love with me and prove that all this waiting actually meant something. -Perry Moore, Hero

You can never really know someone completely. That’s why it’s the most terrifying thing in the world, really—taking someone on faith, hoping they’ll take you on faith too. -Libba Bray

Right then, I wanted to go back in time and relive every moment with him. One more secret smile, one more shared laugh. One more electric kiss. Finding him was like finding someone I didn’t know I was searching for. -Becca Fitzpatrick, Silence

Obviously we still love each other, but every time we get too close, one of us puts up a wall. And it's not easy being on the other side of that wall.- One Tree Hill

So what if he made me feel like fireworks were going off inside me. He could also make me feel like a big fat clod of heartsick dirt. It was like he could take any emotion I had and make it ten times stronger. Which is great when it’s happiness but pretty darn awful if it’s anything sad. -Catherin Murdock, Front and Center

I feel like men are more romantic than women. When we get married we marry, like, one girl, because we're resistant the whole way until we meet one girl and we think 'I'd be an idiot if I didn't marry this girl, she's so great.' But it seems like girls get to a place where they just kinda pick the best option... 'Oh he's got a good job.' I mean they spend their whole life looking for Prince Charming and then they marry the guy who's got a good job and is gonna stick around. - Blue Valentine

There comes a point when you just love someone. Not because they’re good, or bad, or anything really. You just love them. It doesn’t mean you’ll be together forever. It doesn’t mean you won’t hurt each other. It just means you love them. -Laurell Hamilton, Incubus Dreams

Turns out fairytales end when they do for a reason. -Gossip Girl

I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, then all at once. -John Green

How does anyone know when to keep going and when to just let go? -Private Practice

We’re all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you’ve been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there’s no right person, just different flavors of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. And it isn’t until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problems—the ones that make you truly who you are—that we’re ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what you’re looking for. You’re looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: the right wrong person—someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, “This is the problem I want to have.” -Galway Kinnel

You know what I discovered - it's not who you want to spend Friday night with, it's who you want to spend all day Saturday with. -Friends With Benefits

She will chase you around for a while but there’s going to be a day when she stops running in circles around you. She’ll get over you and at that very moment you’re going to wish you had let her catch you. -NCIS

Oh, love isn’t there to make us happy. I believe it exists to show us how much we can endure. -Herman Hessse

Then I realize what it is. It's him. Something about him makes me feel like I am about to fall. Or turn to liquid. Or burst into flames. -Veronica Roth, Divergent
