“With the man I love who loves me not
I walked in the street-lamps' flare —
But oh, the girls who can ask for love
In the lights of Union Square.”

“I once loved a girl who almost loved me, but not as much as she loved John Cusack.”

“I walk along the city streets you used to walk along with me,
And every step I take recalls how much in love we used to be.
Oh, how can I forget you?
When there is always something there to remind me”

“But oh, to him I loved
Who loved me not at all,
I owe the little open gate
That led thru heaven's wall.”

“I want so obviously, so desperately to be loved, and to be capable of love. I am still so naive; I know pretty much what I like and dislike; but please don’t ask me who I am. A passionate fragmentary girl, maybe?”

“I cannot love a man who cannot protect me.”

“I was a heartless, ungrateful wench of a girl who promised everyone who came into contact with me a one-way ticket to pain and hurt. I didn’t know how to love and I didn’t deserve to be loved back.”

“How long could you love a woman who didn't love you, Cecil?
A woman who didn't love me? Oh, all my life!”

“This is how the girl who couldn't speak and the man who couldn't see fell in love.”

“Oh, I've a love, a true, true love, who waits upon yon shore… and if my love won't be my love, then I will live no more…”
