“If this was love, love had been overrated.”

“You know, when it works, love is amazing. It's not overrated.”

“Wish I had concentrated; they said love was complicated.
But it was something I just fell into.
And it was overrated, but just look what I created!”

“Had I been in love, I could not have been more wretchedly blind. But vanity, not love, has been my folly.”

“They had been in love, desperately in love, but the universe cared nothing for the vicissitudes of the human heart.”

“But he had been in love once, that he knew. Once and only once, and a long time ago. And it had changed him forever. Perfect love did that to a person and this had been perfect.”

“Had we not loved ourselves at all, we could never have been obliged to love anything. So that self-love is the basis of all love.”

“And it was at moments like this that she had to remind herself that she was in love with him, or had once been in love with him, a long time ago.”

“I'd been blindsided with the most painful knowledge: the first man to ever say he loved me had never loved me at all.

His passion had been artificial.

His pursuit of me had been choreographed.”

“I was in love with Scott Bennett. That I had been in love with him my whole life, practically.”
