relationship

"I know I love her, because when I see her my heart beats like a drum. If she played guitar and sang, we could start a band."

"The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't being said. The art of reading between the lines is a life long quest of the wise."

"Sacrifices made for love are fine, unless the sacrifice is you."

"If I could make tea out of your love, would it be hot, or iced? Would it be black, or green? Would it be sweet, or unsweet? Would you offer free refills?"

"Over time, any deception destroys intimacy, and without intimacy couples cannot have true and lasting love."

"It’s hard to communicate anything exactly and that’s why perfect relationships between people are difficult to find."

"Sometimes I get real lonely sleeping with you."

"I watered your memory every day to keep it alive, and after all this time it's like a tall cypress tree rooted deep in the St. John's River."

"I remember her words about remembering my words, and that’s when it hit me: the quickest way to scalpel open a heart is with a declaration of love."

"Life, it’s made up of two things—time and love. A watch tells one, but what tells the other? We tell each other."

"But why, why, why can't people just say what they mean?"

"There are all kinds of ways for a relationship to be tested, even broken, some, irrevocably; it’s the endings we’re unprepared for."

"It is true that those we meet can change us, sometimes so profoundly that we are not the same afterwards, even unto our names."

"God is great and God is good,"Lisa says. "But where are the Apache attack helicopters when you need them?"

"You aren't alive if you aren't in need."

"To save face, it's better not to ask sex from the ex, but to give everything the axe."

"You get lonely, is what it is. A person's not supposed to go through life with absolutely nobody. It's not normal. The longer you go by yourself the weirder you get, and the weirder you get the longer you go by yourself. It's a loop and you gotta do something to get out of it."

"Relationships are never about power, and one way to avoid the will to power is to choose to limit oneself- to serve."
