“We never love someone. We just love the idea we have of someone. It's a concept of ours - summing up, ourselves - that we love.”

“Love is not to be found in someone else, but in ourselves; we simply awaken it. But in order to do that, we need the other person. The universe only makes sense when we have someone to share our feelings with.”

“We like someone because, we love someone in spite of…”

“How is it that we never completely comprehend our love for someone until they’re gone?”

“When we love someone our love becomes demonstrable or real only through our exertion - through the fact that for that someone (or for ourself) we take an extra step or walk an extra mile. Love is not effortless. To the contrary, love is effortful.”

“If we have the opportunity to be generous with our hearts, ourselves, we have no idea of the depth and breadth of love's reach.”

“Love is not to be found in someone else but in ourselves; we simply awaken it. But in order to do that, we need the other person.”

“When we have been humiliated by someone we love, it takes all our strength to pretend to recover from it.”

“We are not mad. We are human. We want to love, and someone must forgive us for the paths we take to love, for the paths are many and dark, and we are ardent and cruel in our journey.”

“No one snaps our composure quite like someone we love.”
