relationship

"A broken heart is just the growing pains necessary so that you can love more completely when the real thing comes along."

"Making benches is no walk in the park. It takes one a lot of love to make a bench, and then it takes two to make love on that bench."

"Love tames the benumbed beast. A man is put to use regarding a woman's physical safety, but a woman is put to use regarding a man's mental safety."

"You want the fairy tale.""I want a chance at it."

"Yes, it's a well-known fact about you: you're like death, you take everything."

"We made love like a goat has four legs like a table. If your dining room table can walk, it’s best to eat while sitting in wheelchairs."

"You know a relationship has deteriorated past the point of salvage when one person detests another's gestures."

"The memory of her love shimmers the way white light ripples gently on the midnight river, and I am currently thirsting to swim in the current that will flow downstream into her wading and waiting arms."

"It’s funny, for all it took was a broken heart and that alone was enough, enough for her to do everything she ever dreamed of."

"I would pour you a glass of wine, but wouldn’t it be more romantic if you sipped it out of my armpit?"

"In your pursuit of your passions, always be young. In your relationship with others, always be grown-up."

"When I lost her I gained the future, because she was my past, and she freed me to become who I was born to be."

"You can talk with someone for years, everyday, and still, it won't mean as much as what you can have when you sit in front of someone, not saying a word, yet you feel that person with your heart, you feel like you have known the person for forever.... connections are made with the heart, not the tongue."

"You know, some people think Shadowhunters are just myths. Like mummies and genies."Kyle grinned at Jace. "Can you grant wishes?""That depends,"he said. "Do you wish to be punched in the face?"

"I'm hanging on to her memory like Spanish moss on an ancient Florida oak, and unlike the sunset, my love won't fade."

"There is nothing more beautiful than a vulnerable heart in open hands."

"I’m willing to die for the woman I love. I just want to take 75 years to do it."

"Trust and faith bring joy to life and help relationships grow to their maximum potential."

"If you spend your life sparing people’s feelings and feeding their vanity, you get so you can’t distinguish what should be respected in them."

"I mean, if the relationship can't survive the long term, why on earth would it be worth my time and energy for the short term?"
