"For a long time I was in love, not only in love, I was obsessed with a friendship that no one else could touch." - No Doubt
"Before I met you, I dreamt of someone holding my hand. Before I was with you, I had to dream of someone kissing me goodnight. Before I met you, I actually hated myself, I had no reason for living and I had no reason for going on. You gave me hope. And you gave me love. And you gave me a reason to go on. You gave me the power to love myself and I will never forget that!"

"The unqualified truth is that, when I loved her (Estella) with the love of a man, I loved her simply because I found her irresistible. Once and for all; I knew to my sorrow, often and often, if not always that I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be. Once and for all; I loved her because I knew it, and it had no more influence in restraining me than if I had devoutly believed her to be human perfection." -Charles Dickens, 'Great Expectations'

"I've decided you're not worth it. I won't shed another tear over you. Why on earth would I cry over someone who could care less about me? That only makes me seem pathetic. And I'm not. I never was. I was only in love with someone who didn't have the capability of loving me back." - Joanne Golden
"And I just want to let you know that I'll never forget that night. For once in my life, everything was perfect. The way we danced, how you held me close, the song -- everything.

Too bad I wasn't that woman."
"I don't wanna be with you, put that on everything I own. I can't believe I stayed around that damn long. If I never see you again, I won't be mad at all. 'Cause I believe that you're my downfall. You did me wrong. I thought you were true, you ran out of my life, but now I'm so through with you." - Avant, 'Separated'
"I try not to think about what might have been, because that was then, and we have taken different roads. We can't go back again, there's no use given in, and there's no way to know, what might have been." - Little Texas
"I loved real, real hard once. But the love wasn't returned. Found out the man I'd die for, he wasn't even concerned. I tried and I tried to keep him in my life. I cried and I cried, but I couldn't make it right. but I loved the young man, and if you ever been in love then you'd understand." - Lauryn Hill
"My heart? Yeah it broke I'm not gonna lie. For a minute I thought that I was gonna die. But then I stepped back and took a long look at who I gave my heart to, and what it took to make love last, what makes it true and baby you just don't have a clue. So playa thanks for setting me free. Now I can find somebody worthy of me."
"It must be hard to go on pretending since you realized nobody can compare. It must be hard to go on living your life, the way you did before I was there."

And the times we spent together, holding each other, were the best times of my life. But no matter how much I wanted to keep you in my arms, I couldn't. I couldn't hold onto you, knowing that all you were going to do was hurt me. But right now, even though I still love you, I don't need you anymore. I don't need you to complete me. I just need you to comfort me when I'm sad, support me, and listen to me when I talk. So I guess what I'm saying is, I'm glad we're over. I'm glad I've let go."

"When we broke it off, I never stopped caring, I never stopped feeling for you... but you did, and that's what scares me.
