"Believe me that love isn't just moonlit kisses and beautiful words. It's also broken hearts and sad words. Because you never know what you had until you have lost it. You feel incomplete and so unhappy. Then let's just say this person walks back into your life- and for one brief shining moment you feel the way you did before. You feel that magical kiss you once shared, that night when he said 'I love you', everything came back again for that one moment. Now everything in your life has changed. It doesn't matter who came before him or who might come after him. You realize you can mend it all up and make it better. And maybe, just maybe this time you will hold on so tight- that you might never let go. First love, first this, first that, but nothing is more impressionable than your first loss of your love."
"There were many ways of breaking a heart. Stories were full of hearts being broken by love, but what really broke a heart was taking away its dream... whatever that dream might be."

"There is nothing worse than knowing you're perfect for each other, just not right now."

"I guess to some extent you get used to being alone. You get used to not expecting phone calls and having nothing to do at night. You don't expect to turn around to open arms any longer. The small sounds of him have been replaced by silence. Your thoughts echo through your head, with no one to share them with. All in all, being alone isn't terrible, it just hurts like hell."

"'there are no single guys who don't have at least one major flaw, and a flaw, I might add, that would stop you from dating them--even if everything else was great. why? simple math. women are interesting and sensitive. most men are not. there is only one normal, decent single guy for every five women in this city. this is what's known as the Great Male Statistic. Girls don't want to face the GMS. they want to believe there's someone for everyone. the truth hurts. you only start coming to terms with the GMS when you're twenty-six or twenty-seven. it actually killed Sylvia Plath. she finally found this guy in grad school who she thought was so great, and she married him, and he cheated on her.'" - Starting From Square Two by Caren Lissner
"'the truth is, the really good men are snapped up quickly. you get into your mid-twenties and it's five to one.'" - Starting From Square Two by Caren Lissner
"it was too hard to fall in love with someone, learn all of their quirks and passions, assume you'd spend the rest of your life with them, and then suddenly have them snatched away forever." - Starting From Square Two by Caren Lissner
"'so there's a Spiral Deathtrap of Dating. When you're with someone, you look happy and relaxed, and thus, a lot more people than you need are attracted to you. when you're sulky and alone, no one is attracted to you, and thus, you stay sulky and alone.'" - Starting From Square Two by Caren Lissner

"we all witnessed, discussed, and made a mental note of our friends' so-called 'failures' through life, particularly in relationships. yet when it came to making our own choices, we always thought that, somehow, it would be different for us. that the man we met would never cheat on us, that we in turn would never cheat on them. we had to have that eternal optimism, jo reckoned, or none of us would ever get married or make any level of commitment in life." - fourplay by Jane Moore

"The bad thing about a girl with a broken heart is that she starts to hand out the pieces to anyone who comes around."
"Just because you can't say something doesn't mean you don't want to, you can want to very much. You can be with a person and be happy with them and not love them. And you can love somebody and not want to be with them. You don't need to love someone to want them. Now that's frustrating, when what your brain tells you you want and what you actually want don't match up. Its exhausting. And, well, its complicated. But that's life. And life... sucks." -Grey's Anatomy
"I'm sorry to say this but those who are most worthy of love are never made happy by it. Do you still think men love the way we do? No... men enjoy the happiness they feel. We can only enjoy the happiness we give. They are not capable of devoting themselves exclusively to one person. So to hope to be made happy by love is a certain cause of grief." - Dangerous Liaisons
