“Men are like that sometimes - if they meet someone and fall in love, it's real, no matter how fast it happened. But if someone falls for a woman they happen to care about, all they do is question the man's intentions.”

“… and when you meet someone and fall in love, and they fall in love with you, you ask them "Will you take my heart-- stains and all?" and they say "I will," and they ask you the same question and you say, "I will," too.”

“How does this happen? To fall in love and be disassembled.”

“Sometimes I think there’s no such thing as falling in love. It’s just the fear of losing someone.”

“There's no mistaking a real book when one meets it. It is like falling in love.”

“When a person you love dies, it doesn’t feel real. It’s like it’s happening to someone else. It’s someone else’s life. I’ve never been good with the abstract. What does it mean when someone is really truly gone?”

“A patriot is someone who cares what happens in their country.”

“Men learn to love the woman they are attracted to. Women learn to become attracted to the man they fall in love with.”

“It's one thing to fall in love. It's another to feel someone else falling in love with you, and to feel a responsibility toward that love.”

“When something horrible happens, it's human nature to want to blame it on someone. We want someone to be held accountable, even though sometimes things just happen.”
