The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances, if there is any reaction, both are transformed.......

Man may have discovered fire, but women discovered how to play with it.....

Maybe the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. One day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere, and the person who was just a friend is... suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.......

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......


 

When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are.....

We’re all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you’ve been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there’s no right person, just different flavors of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. And it isn’t until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problems, the ones that make you truly who you are, that we’re ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what you’re looking for. You’re looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: the right wrong person, someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, “This is the problem I want to have,  I will find that special person who is wrong for me in just the right way"......

When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter......

I can tell if two people are in love by how they hold each other’s hands........

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened........

This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Lovers, well, they'll come and go, and  most of them, actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up becuase if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will ? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.....

Everything you can imagine is real............

I'm the one that's got to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to....

Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I'm not perfect and I don't live to be, but before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean......

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.....

Just when you think it can't get any worse, it can. And just when you think it can't get any better, it can.....

Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks,  not in what they say,  just in what they are......

The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.....

The one you love and the one who loves you are never, ever the same person..........

If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.......

We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.....

But better to be hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie.......

We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.....

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life..........

People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.............

Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win......

If you care about something you have to protect it, If you’re lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it.....

If she loved you with all the power of her soul for a whole lifetime, she couldn’t love you as much as I do in a single day ........

Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect........

Someday you're gonna look back on this moment of your life as such a sweet time of grieving. You'll see that you were in mourning and your heart was broken, but your life was changing....

You don't love someone because of their looks or their clothes or their car. You love them because they sing a song only your heart can understand.........

Anyone who loves in the expectation of being loved in return is wasting their time....

Anxiety is love's greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic.........

Spending time with you showed me what I’ve been missing in my life.........

I miss him in so many ways, but right now I miss him in the way you always miss someone when you're single among a room full of couples.....

I guess what I'm trying to say is that you are there, in everything I am, in everything I've ever done, and looking back, I know that I should have told you know much you've always meant to me....

The only drink I like ice in is water, because you can’t water down water. I’m like that with love, too. Don’t you dare add any ice to the hot liquid loving I’m trying to pour all over you.......

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets....

Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other....

Why is love intensified by absence.......?

The voice of Love seemed to call to me, but it was a wrong number.......

 When you have seen as much of life as I have, you will not underestimate the power of obsessive love....

You're like a song that I heard when I was a little kid but forgot I knew until I heard it again.....

Each relationship between two persons is absolutely unique. That is why you cannot love two people the same. It simply is not possible. You love each person differently because of who they are and the uniqueness that they draw out of you.......

Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation...........

People always fall in love with the most perfect aspects of each other’s personalities. Who wouldn’t? Anybody can love the most wonderful parts of another person. But that’s not the clever trick. The really clever trick is this: Can you accept the flaws? Can you look at your partner’s faults honestly and say, ‘I can work around that. I can make something out of it.’? Because the good stuff is always going to be there, and it’s always going to pretty and sparkly, but the crap underneath can ruin you......
