“You know you love someone when you cannot put into words how they make you feel.”

“Fine… a word that you said when someone asked how you were but didn't really care to know the truth.”

“When you feel someone else's pain and joy as powerfully as if it were your own, then you know you really loved them.”

“When you showed someone how you felt, it was fresh and honest. When you told someone how you felt, there might be nothing behind the words but habit or expectation.”

“You cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up up them.”

“It is a feeling at once stimulating and flat, to know that someone you do not love is in love with you.”

“She knows what it's like to love someone who cannot love you back. Someone who needs you, holds you, yes, but someone who will never know that love is the knife in your heart.”

“I love you: You imagine hearing the words from someone not related to you, someone not your best friend, but when someone you love, someone you dream about, actually says them, it makes your body melt and your breath get caught in your chest.”

“But, when the chips are down, its better to be furious with someone you love, or frightened for someone you love, than be put through the merciless horror of being ashamed of someone you love.”

“It is not how much you love someone, but who you are when you are with him.”
