“Love isn't what you get. It's what you create.”

“Doing what you love isn't a priviledge; it's an obligation.”

“Tamaki: Having the courage to be able to admit what you love… enjoying what you love… and being true to yourself… Isn't that also what it means to be strong?”

“If you stumble at mere believability, what are you living for? Isn't love hard to believe?”

“This is what love is, he thought. Doing what you don't want to do, because she needs it so much. And it isn't that bad. And it isn't that hard.”

“To get what you love, you must first be patient with what you hate.”

“Get me a drink, or I'll tell you I love you. I'll wake you up in an hour or two, crooning, all sloppy and maudlin, tell you I love you really. You'd like that, right? Hearing Momma tell you she loves you? Isn't that what you want, deep inside?”

“Love is a one-way street. Love, like respect isn't something you get; it's something you give”

“Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love, and love what you write. The word is love. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for.”

“Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything”
