“Love is not about what you want. It's about finding happiness for the one you love.”

“It is not in the resolution of problems that you will find happiness. If you want to find that happiness, if you want to find that joy, then find that one thing that is within inside of you. That is you, that is your reality, that is your core that can bring you that joy. This disparity has existed and existed and existed, yet people keep saying, 'No, these people don't know what they're talking about.”

“The secret is not to write about what you love best, but about what you, alone, love at all.”

“I don’t want there to be things you “love about me”, I want you to love “all of me”.”

“Love doesn't mean anything if you're not willing to make a commitment, and you have to think not only about what you want, but about what he wants. Not just now, but in the future.”

“Do you know what absolute happiness is? For me, it is to wake up my kids in the morning - these little pieces of innocence - to wake them and find they're so happy to see me! It is unequivocal love, no question about it.”

“Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself.”

“Trust. That was what this was all about. If you can't trust the one you love, you don't have anything.”

“sometimes what you miss the most is the way a loved one made you feel about yourself.”

“You wanted happiness, I can’t blame you for that, and maybe a mouth sounds idiotic when it blathers on about joy but tell me you love this, tell me you’re not miserable.”
