He reached for her hand. “I don’t want to lose you.” His voice was almost in a whisper. She could feel the tears again, and she fought them back. “But you don’t want to keep me either, do you?” To that, he had no response.
— The Rescue by Nicholas Sparks
The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
— Terry Pratchett
When we're alone you adore me, but only when we're alone.
I understand feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible. And how it can actually ache in places you didn’t know you had inside you. And it doesn’t matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends… you still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. And how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy.
Please don’t make me wait, just because you know I will.
"One of these days, you`ll miss your train and come stay with me. We`ll have drinks and talk about things and any excuse to stay awake with you. You’d sleep here, I’d sleep there, but then the heating may be down again. We’d be good, we’d be great together."
It's a motherfucker being here without you.
I think it’s okay that you’re the only one that gets me, and I love how I can’t breathe quite right as you slowly whisper in my ear, “Beautiful, you owe me a dance tonight.
I tried so hard. You know that right? I tried harder than you could ever imagine, and now here I am, trying my best just to forget everything. Every piece of you, the way you smell, the feel of your skin. Too bad it was always so soft. I can still feel you. I think I always will.
The best moments in reading are when you come across something--a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things that-- that you'd thought special, particular to you. And here it is, set down by someone else, a person you've never met, maybe even someone long dead. It’s as if a hand has come out and taken yours
I hate that time before you go to sleep at night because that's when all the thoughs you've been trying to avoid start to linger in your mind.
I want someone that looks forward to seeing me everyday, that notices when I dress up, and thinks I'm beautiful when I dress down.
The bad guy is not wearing a black cape and he's not easy to spot; he's really funny, and he makes you laugh, and he has perfect hair.
Look, I'm going to find a way to be happy, and I'd really love to be happy with you, but if I can't be happy with you, then I'll find a way to be happy without you.
Two of the hardest and most painful tests in life: having the patience to wait for the right moment, and mustering the courage to accept that you have waited for nothing.
You don't drown by falling in water; you drown by staying there.
Secret #24: Even though we weren't in love, I miss that boy more than anyone will ever understand.
You want to know what happiness is? It’s waking up in the middle of the night, shifting under the blankets and feeling the heart of the person next to you. You turn around and see them in their most peaceful, innocent, and vulnerable state. They breathe as though the weight of the world lies on anyone’s shoulders but their own. You smile and kiss their face in the gentlest manner so as not to wake them. You turn back and an involuntary grin forms on your face. You feel an arm wrap around your waist and you know it doesn’t get any better than this.
Love is so short, forgetting is so long.
Pablo Neruda
This is your choice. it’s black and white. Not a shade of gray, because when you love someone there’s no such thing as halfway.
“There's a guy out there that’s going to be really happy you didn’t get back together with your crappy ex-boyfriend.” – He's Just Not That Into You
“I love thee, I love but thee with a love that shall not die ‘till the sun grows cold and the stars grow old.” – Williams Shakespeare
What they say is, "life goes on" and that is mostly true. The mail is delivered, and the Christmas lights go up and down from the houses, and the ladders get put away, and you open yet another box of cereal. In time, the volume of my feelings would be turned down in gentle increments to near quiet, and yet the record would still spin, always spin.
The world's a better place by far because of people like you who take the time to do nice things the way you always do.
& ultimately, he’s going to find out: how you chew, how you sip, how you hum, how you dance, how you smell at every point in the day. The fact that most of your friends are shallow. That you hate sitting in an aisle seat, how you sometimes cant seem to listen, how you get hyper when you travel, how certain games or shows make you really happy, how you get cranky because you’re too stupid to remember to sleep, how you don’t like the way you look in most of your pictures, how you can’t get off the phone when its late, because you don’t want to sould like you care, how you have no ability to save receipts. He’s going to know all of it; everything about you. He’s going to know. & he’s still going to love you.
The hard part isn’t making the decision. It’s living with it.

All men are not slimy warthogs. Some men are silly giraffes, some woebegone puppies, some insecure frogs. But if one is not careful, those slimy warthogs can ruin it for all the others. Cynthia Heimel
"As perfume to the flower, so is kindness to speech."

If asked why I love her I would say it’s the sway in her hips, the thickness in her thighs. It’s the lust in her lips, the love in her eyes. It’s the softness of her skin, the silk in her hair. It’s the twist in her walk; it’s the sweetness in her talk. It’s the way she loves me that makes me love her each day. That is what I would say.
“It hurts to love someone when you can’t tell what you really feel… because sometimes we get hurt without them knowing, we get jealous without the right to feel that way, we want their time without being in the position to demand for it… till our hearts is breaking in silence… but despite it, we continue to love them because somehow, in this hurtful love, there’s still hope of having simple moments with them… even if it means being ‘just friends’.”
He enjoys sunset walks, punching people, and not talking. -the o.c.
“To be able to have a never ending conversation about anything…that’s love.”
"I think you're beautiful but I wouldn't fuck you because when we're done, I wouldn't want you to feel fucked. I would try to make love to you and I would probably be clumsy and awkward, but when it was over, I would want you to feel loved."
The bad news is, people are crueler, meaner and more evil than you've ever imagined. The good news is, people are kinder, gentler and more loving than you've ever dreamed.
FROM FAILING, YOU LEARN.
From success, not so much. -Aunt Billie (Meet the Robinsons)
Oh, I laughed kinda nervous. I felt you move closer, and felt the world unwind. Once a stranger, not quite a lover, but steadily crossing the line.
I felt something catch in my throat, a sudden surge of sadness that caught me unaware. It almost managed to take my breath away. That was the thing; you never got used to it. You never got used to the idea of someone being gone. Just when you think it's okay, and you think you've accepted it, someone points it out to you, and it hits you all over again, and it's just as shocking as the first time.
(^yea i know... i miss you mom :( )
I've got him. Hook, line and sinker. That boy is wrapped around my little finger. But you know what makes our love so great? He's got me the exact same way.
An arrow can be shot only by pulling it backwards so when life is dragging you back with difficulties, its means that it's going to launch you into something great.
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway. Because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.
Everything I think of you changes constantly. I love you, I hate you, I need you, I want you, I am so much better off without you, you don't deserve me, you're everything to me. There are times I think I can get over you, & times when I know I can't. There are times I flirt with other guys, & think maybe something could even blossom there because that guy could love me back. But all my fantasies involving that guy just entail you watching us together; you realizing that I am everything you ever dreamed of, & then my imagination breaks away from all my self control & I imagine you & I together, just like I always have.
“The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before. That’s the deal.”
Do you know what happens when you hurt people? When you hurt people, they begin to love you less. That's what careless words do. They make people love you a little less.
Theres always that one person, no matter how long its been or how bad they treated you, if they say i love you, you'll say it right back.
Everyone has their weak spot. The one thing that, despite your best efforts, will always bring you to your knees, regardless of how strong you are otherwise. For some people it's love . -Lock and Key
I had millions of crushes - in fact, every attractive boy I gravitated towards, I wasted my mind on for a minute or two. But you, you were the only one I wasted hours, days, years on.
"Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save." -Will Smith
I'm not going to lie, I'm a little jealous of all of your friends because I wish you were that close to me.
i think the best time to say that you already found the right one is when you stop looking for somebody else.
“Girls do not dress for boys. They dress for themselves, and of course, each other. If girls dressed for boys, they'd just walk around naked at all times” (BETSEY JOHNSON)
No matter what angle i look at you from. You're always perfect.
Sometimes you meet somebody, And you know that whatever you did before, It must have been right. Because nothing you've done could be too bad, or have gone too far wrong, Because it led you to this person.
In some ways I hate the fact that I had you as my first everything. Because now everyone else has to live up to you. You set the standards and that scares me. Because even though some guys may come close. I will never feel for anyone what I felt for you..
You'll never find another girl stupid enough to love you like I did.
Sometimes you have to be a part from people you love.
But that doesn't make you love them any less. Sometimes you love them more. The Last Song.
Being around you makes me feel, like for once in my life I don't have to try and be happy; it just happens.
Is anybody satisfied with who they really are? You could be the moon & still be jealous of the stars. You've got to learn to swim if you can't walk on water. So I'm learning to live with me.
And if I could wish for one thing, it would be to have nothing to wish for.
If you think I've given up on you. You're crazy. And if you think I don't love you. Then you're just wrong.
& if you give me a chance, I’m going to live the rest of my life proving to you that you made the right decision.
