"I believe in the power of love, and I believe there is always hope." - Naomi Judd
"I would love to be one of those people who's all: 'we loved, thank you, you enhanced my life, now go, prosper,' but I'm much more: 'we didn't work out, you need not to exist.'" - Sex and the City
"I never knew how to worship, until I knew how to love."
"I hate saying to people, 'Let's just be friends,' because I know we never will be after that."
"Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up this whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you, or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like 'maybe we should just be friends' or 'how very perceptive' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love." - Sandman: The Kindly Ones by Neil Gaman
"When I fall in love it will be forever, or I'll never fall in love."
"I don't know why, I've always been big on happy endings. You see, to me, the most romantic, beautiful love stories ever were the ones where two people meet, fall in love, and then fifty, sixty years later one of them dies and then a few days after that the other one dies because they just can't bear to live without each other." - The Story of Us
"Love is a word that gets thrown around a lot, and when I say it, I wanna mean it." - American Pie
"The romantics would call this a love story, the cynics would call it a tragedy. In my mind it's a little bit of both, and no matter how you choose to view it in the end, it does not change the fact that it involves a great deal of my life and the path I've chosen to follow." - Nicholas Sparks, 'The Notebook'
"I don't want to be with somebody who would rather be with me than with nobody. I want to be with somebody who would rather be with me than with anybody."
"I don't know when I got bitter, love is surely better when it's gone." - Tonic
"I'd like to stay a secret like walkin' in the dark, if no one knows me, no one sees me, and no one breaks my heart." - Nick Traina
"I'd rather have my heart broken by the one I love, than to have never given the one I love my heart!" -Joanne Golden
"I may not be a smart man, but I know what love is." - Forrest Gump
"Every child growing up wants their life to be like a fairy tale. But what they don't realize is real life isn't like that. We have broken hearts, broken friendships and broken promises. But hey, who knows, maybe one day my prince will come." - Amanda Gattie
"I think I have finally come to understand why my life is like it is. All of the heartbreaks and disappointments are going to help me truly appreciate love, whenever it finds me." - Amanda Gattie
"I've come too close to happiness, to have it swept away. Don't think I could take the pain, never fall again." - Janet Jackson
"I've learned no matter how much I care, some guys are just assholes."
"There's only one thing greater than my fear -- that is my love. My love will always conquer my fear -- but it can't do it immediately. It needs the full force of my love to do it and it takes days for that to emerge out of its dark hiding places."
"Next time I fall in love, I'm going to look before I take the falling leap."
"With so many people to love in my life, why do I worry about one?" - Ben Harper

"Heart broken twice isn't that nice. I get over one and piece back the parts, only to find another guy who's scheming to break my heart."
"It's an inevitable process for me, I find someone that I like, I get close to them and I let my guard down.. and then BAM! It's like they were just waiting for me to become vulnerable to them, and they decide to use that against me." - Erin Michelle
"I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it." - Audrey Hepburn
"In this life, there are two things that I would love to believe. One, that there is one soul mate meant for everyone. And two, that I may be good enough to deserve that one person." - Still Breathing
"Maybe soul mates don't exist, but I don't want to live in a world where they don't."
"I know I'm crazy about someone when I take a longer way to class...even if it means climbing an extra set of stairs, just to walk by him."
"There are times when I wanna be free, flirting and pimping -- yeah that's me. But then there are times when I get lonely. When I want someone to hug me, kiss me -- love me."
"I'm a hopeless romantic. I believe in wishing on stars, soul mates, and love that never ends. But yet, sometimes I feel like the only single person alive. I feel so alone. No matter what I try to do, I'm left in solitude. Maybe I try too hard. Maybe I really am hopeless."
"I don't need anyone to take advantage of my weaknesses or my strengths, I need someone who will appreciate me for everything that I am."
"Did you ever notice that people give up on love as they get older? When you're a little girl, all you want to do is fall in love. Then when you're a teenager, every guy you meet you think is 'the one'. Then when you're an adult and you have been hurt from the breakups as a teen, you're not interested in love anymore. You just don't want to be alone, so you settle for someone you might even know isn't your soul mate. I know so many adults that aren't truly where they want to be. I just try to think about what they might have went through to make them settle for second best, and I hope that doesn't happen to me."
"I'm not afraid of heights I'm afraid of falling. I'm not scared of the dark, I'm scared of what's in it. I'm not afraid to love, I'm afraid of not being loved back."
"I try to teach my heart not to want nothing it can't have."
"I'd like to give a big round of applause to all the men in my life for bringing me back to reality just when I had a fantasy about the male race being 'not that bad' after all."
"I know about safe sex, safe love is the hard thing. I wish they made that kind of protection."
"Is it me? Is it like I have a beacon that only dogs and men with severe emotional problems can hear?" - Friends
"I don't want someone who wants someone else."
"I'm firmly convinced that it's better to spend your time looking for someone who will treat you right, than to waste your time with someone who does you wrong."
"Ironically, I have been hurt the most by those people who have said 'I love you.'"
"I've been searching like everybody else, but I can't see anything different about myself. Sometimes I'm an angel and sometimes I'm cruel, but when it comes to love I'm just another fool."
"I don't want to live -- I want to love first, and live incidentally." - Zelda Fitzgerald

"I fall in love so easily." - Bouncing Souls
"I'm really co-dependent. I need crazy, mad attention from guys." - Real World
"Every girl wants 'prince charming' … and while he may be nice and all, I'm thinking I'd rather have the guy that's gonna call at 4am just to say hi, or someone who'll stop by my house - after just hanging up the phone - because he wants to see how I'm really doing. Because I said I was fine, but we both know I'm lying. Or the guy who'll stay home on a Saturday night with me because I'm sick and bring me my favorite kind of candy… even though I can't eat it because my stomach flips at the idea. That guy - that one guy … he may not be prince charming to anyone else … but he'd be my hero. My knight in shining armor. Anyone who'd rather stay home on a Saturday night and hold my hair while I puke … that's a hero."
"Many people fear bugs, for others it's roller coasters that scare them, but for me? No, nothing that simple. I fear the one thing that has ruined my life forever... a broken heart."
"I've always known you can't love someone who lies to you." - Drew Barrymore
