"We must not be so ready to fancy ourselves intentionally injured. We must not expect a lively young man to be always so guarded and circumspect. It is very often nothing but our own vanity that deceives us. Women fancy admiration means more than it does."

"Each person you meetis an aspect of yourself,clamoring for love."

"Whoever said that love hurts was wrong. Love is excruciating, especially when you can feel it slipping through your fingers and there is nothing you can do about it. Like someone was playing tug-of-war with my limbs, ripping to shreds whatever was left behind. What it would feel like when love was lost...I wouldn't survive that"

"Being a Dream Girl is never going to be about what you look like or how much you weigh. After all, our physical appearances are just reflections of our inner worlds.

"The opposite of love is not hate. It is indifference."

"I've been so fortunate in my life that my family has never been jealous of my success. They have shown true love and commitment to me by being supportive. They shared in it."

"When you know my love, my love will warm you."

"Be the energy you want others to absorb."

"What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again."

"Love makes you want to be a better man—right, right. But maybe love, real love, also gives you permission to just be the man you are."

"Choose your love, Love your choice."

"Only great fools remain ungrateful."

"I had fallen too far. I was in love with Rush Finlay."

"You used to love me. Let me help jog your memory by buying you some running shoes. The shoes will be wooden, and nailed to the floor."

"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."

"A can’t in a can—it’s carbonated failure that’s ready to drink. It tastes like the back half of love."

"A quiet but indomitable voice behind me said, “I believe this is my dance.” It was him. I could feel his presence. The warmth of him seeped into my back, and I quivered all over like spring leaves in a warm breeze."

"I'm beginning to think that maybe it's not just how much you love someone. Maybe what matters is who you are when you're with them."
