relationship

"I was in love one time, I said as I held up my pinky. I would have held up my index finger, but I wasn't in love that long."

"He said he came in second place, so I assumed there were only two competitors. But you never know with love, there may have been a third party involved."

"Faith doesn't get you around problems in life and relationships, it gets you through it."

"I loved her, she loved him, and he loved himself. Now she loves me, he loves her, and I love myself as I am—without her in my life."

"I need you because I know I deserve you but let me fall in love with you one last time before I let go. So I can remember the beautiful imperfection that rattled my bones."

"Never knew what a friendship was, Never knew how to really love, You can't be what I need you to, & I don't know why I fuck with you"

"Life’s too short to drink crappy coffee and cry over boys who don’t care."

"If you merge an emergency with a mannequin, that’s how I look at networking events. To make each handshake more feel more personal, I try to wear the thinnest rubber gloves I can find."

"Is it easier to get you to do what I want with a fist to your face, or a gentle pat on the back and a handshake? Let this be a lesson in power."

"I’ve got a way with love. Away with love."

"My acquaintances aren’t worth the aqua I drink after they leave me thirsting for something more meaningful. I don’t want refillable relationships—I want connections so deep they are black abysses."

"I had a dream about you. You were being hung. I had a sword in one hand and a stool in the other. I couldn’t decide which one to use, so I stood on the stool and threw myself on the sword. It was the least I could do to protest capital punishment."

"I was flipping channels, watching this cheerleading program on MTV. They took a field hockey girl and “transformed” her into a cheerleader by the end of the show. I was just wondering: what if she liked field hockey better?"

"She seemed to think that one of the perks of marriage was that it gave you rights of comment and intrusion over single people's love lives."

"To be fully seen by somebody, then, and be loved anyhow - this is a human offering that can border on miraculous."

"My love is expansive. Your love is expensive."

"I went to Hallmark, but they don’t sell corridors there. I did, however, find a card that perfectly summed up our relationship. The card was blank."

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

"But it became clear very quickly that I'd underestimated how much I liked him. Not him, perhaps, but the fact that I had someone on the other end of an invisible line. Someone to update and get updates from, to inform of a comic discovery, to imagine while dancing in a lonely basement, and to return to, finally, when the music stopped."

"If conversation was the lyrics, laughter was the music, making time spent together a melody that could be replayed over and over without getting stale."
