“I want to kiss the kindness inside you. I want you to be loved in the exact way you love. We’re both ready with our, “You met me at a really weird time in my life…” monologues and I want to rehearse lines with you. ”

“The truth is that the more intimately you know someone, the more clearly you’ll see their flaws. That’s just the way it is. This is why marriages fail, why children are abandoned, why friendships don’t last. You might think you love someone until you see the way they act when they’re out of money or under pressure or hungry, for goodness’ sake. Love is something different. Love is choosing to serve someone and be with someone in spite of their filthy heart. Love is patient and kind, love is deliberate. Love is hard. Love is pain and sacrifice, it’s seeing the darkness in another person and defying the impulse to jump ship.”
— Melanie Williams, Our Filthy Heart

“Love is supposed to change you, and it will. This is how we determine the quality of a relationship: by the person we become when we're in it. People always say the opposite – that you should never change for someone else – but with the right person, you will evolve rapidly. The right person will show you the very best parts of you, and you'll want to be your best self for them. 

This is the kind of love worth choosing, worth sacrificing for: not that which accepts unconditionally, but which sees the best in you, and inspires you to be more, and more, and more. This is the kind of love you want to last a lifetime. The kind that you will get to the end of your days and think: I would be a fraction of the person I am had I not been with them. ”

“I know now, after fifty years, that the finding/losing, forgetting/remembering, leaving/returning, never stops. The whole of life is about another chance, and while we are alive, till the very end, there is always another chance.”

“Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it’s cracked up to be. That’s why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don’t risk anything, you risk even more.”
— Erica Jong, Fear of Flying

And to make and end is to make a beginning. 
The end is where we start from.”

“If you had a friend you knew you’d never see again, what would you say? If you could do one last thing for someone you love, what would it be? Say it, do it, don’t wait. Nothing lasts forever”

but logic examined and recalculated 
heated and curved to fit

“it is a tuesday when i love someone who doesn’t love me. no, it’s not the first time, but it’s a sad time. oh, it’s always a sad time but my heart doesn’t listen, doesn’t understand, soars like a child in a rocket ship, doesn’t believe in gravity. doesn’t believe in learning a lesson. wants to give until there is nothing left but glitter.”

“Our hearts will break – time and time and time again – over the course of our feeble existences. But they never break irreparably. They never shatter in ways we can’t fix. Our hearts are stronger than all of the things that ever break them, if we give them permission to be.”

“Love is a form of prejudice. You love what you need, you love what makes you feel good, you love what is convenient. How can you say you love one person when there are ten thousand people in the world that you would love more if you ever met them? But you'll never meet them. All right, so we do the best we can. Granted. But we must still realize that love is just the result of a chance encounter.”
— Charles Bukowski, Hot Water Music

“In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.”
