Deb Caletti, The Secret Life of Prince Charming

"When what you want is a relationship, and not a person, get a dog."

"You've got to have someone who loves your body. Who doesn't define you, but sees you. Who loves what he sees. Who you don't have to struggle to be good enough for."

"This is what I know. Don't settle for 40, 50, or even 80 percent. A relationship-it shouldn't be too small or too tight or even a little scratchy. It shouldn't take up space in your closet out of guilty conscience or convenience or a moment of desire. Do you hear me? It shold be perfect for you. It should be lasting. Wait. wait for 100 percent."

"It took me years to figure out that upset was upset, and tumultuousness was not the same thing as passion. Love isn't drama."
