“Falling in love was like falling off a cliff. It felt pretty much like flying until you hit the ground.”

“It's only falling in love because you've hit the ground.”

“Tante Isabelle says it’s better to be bold than meek. She says if you jump off a cliff at least you’ll fly before you fall.”

“It was like being in an elevator cut loose at the top. Falling, falling, and not knowing when you will hit.”

“A man will rise, a man will fall. From the shear face of love like a fly from the wall”

“And that was it. All this buildup to a great leap, and I didn't fall or fly. Instead I found myself back on the edge of the cliff, blinking, wondering if I'd ever jumped at all. It's not supposed to be like this.”

“I've always dreamed that love would be effortless
Like a pedal falling to the ground; a dreamer following his dream.”

“And that's when I realized that believing in God is as much like falling in love as it is like making a decision. Love is both something that happens to you and something you decide upon.”

“A man falling off a cliff to certain death will stretch out a hand even to his worst enemy.”

“But new love only lasts so long, and then you crash back into the real people you are, and from as high as we were, it's a very long fall, and we hit the ground with a thud.”
