Love:
“It’s funny, most people can be around someone and then gradually begin to love them and never know exactly when it happened.” - Fried Green Tomatoes
“When you’re young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun. Then, you grow up and learn to be cautious. You could break a bone or a heart. You look before you leap and sometimes you don’t even leap at all because there’s not always someone there to catch you. And, in life, there’s no safety net. When did it stop being fun and start being scary?” -Sex and the City
“Sometimes in love there’s no simple fix. Sometimes you just have to hang on… and lead with your heart. ” - The Wonder Years
“You can’t stay mad at somebody who makes you laugh.” -Jay Leno
“You need to have a little faith, Tibby. Not everyone you love is going to leave you.” - Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2
“somehow you always seem to end up with the person you’re meant to be with.” - Scrubs
“The hardest thing is loving someone and having the courage to let them love you back.” - Wedding Date
“The things that people in love do to each other they remember, and if they stay together it’s not because they forget, it’s because they forgive.” - Indecent Proposal
“You have to know your own heart, and after that you have to risk breaking it.” - Wildfire
“Relationships don’t work the way they do on television and in the movies: Will they, won’t they, and then they finally do and they’re happy forever — gimme a break. Nine out of ten of them end because they weren’t right for each other to begin with, and half the ones that get married get divorced, anyway. And I’m telling you right now, through all this stuff, I have not become a cynic, I haven’t. Yes, I do happen to believe that love is mainly about pushing chocolate-covered candies and, you know, in some cultures, a chicken. You can call me a sucker, I don’t care, ‘cause I do…believe in it. Bottom line…is the couples that are truly right for each other wade through the same crap as everybody else, but, the big difference is, they don’t let it take ‘em down. ” - Scrubs
“You’re not perfect, sport. And let me save you the suspense — this girl you met, she isn’t perfect either. But the question is whether or not you’re perfect for each other.” - Good Will Hunting
“I got to thinking about fate, that crazy concept that we’re not really responsible for the course our lives take, that it is all predestined, written in the stars. Maybe that explains why if you live in a city where you can’t even see the stars your love life tends to feel a little more random and even if our every man, every kiss, every heartache is preordered from some cosmic catalogue, can we still take a wrong step and wander off our own personal milky way, I couldn’t help but wonder …can you make a mistake and miss your fate?” - Sex and the City
“Talking about love is like dancing about architecture.” – Playing by Heart
“Calling it a ‘simple school girl crush’ was like saying a Rolls Royce was just a vehicle with four wheels, something like a hay wagon. She did not giggle wildly and blush when she saw him, nor did she chalk his name on trees or write it on the walls of the Kissing Bridge. She simply lived with his face in her heart all of the time - a kind of sweet, hurtful ache. She would have died for him.”
“Because being in an actual relationship means taking a risk, you know? It’s just, a leap of faith. No matter how many times one might have been disappointed in the past.” - Sex and the City
“Many people spend their entire lives searching for the meaning of life, but it has completely eluded them. They look for material goods, thrills, anything except the one thing that they are missing that is right in front of their faces … love. People waste away their lives trying to be the best at something … best athlete, best executive, best anything … but being these things just covers up the fact that we are still missing the one thing that is important to every human being … love.” - Dan Karl
“If you don’t like someone, the way he holds his spoon will make you furious. If you care about someone, he can turn his plate over in your lap and you won’t mind.” - Irving Becker
“I’m going to tell you something really subverse. 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, and risking everything for. And if you don’t risk everything, you risk even more.” - Erica Jong
“Maybe that’s why we hold on as hard as we do, we just can’t believe such a miracle can happen to us twice…but it can, someday you’ll find it again.” - Someone Like You
“I wish everyone in the world was a different color, some shades would be similar, but there would only be two of the same color. The goal: to match colors. Along the way, there will be several people with similar shades, but none of your true color. But when you find your matching color staring back at you - you’ll know.”
“It’s so funny how we set qualifications for the right person to love, while at the back of our minds we know that the person we truly love will always be an exception.”
“Love is the only true thing in life. When you tell someone you love them, and you mean it, you give them a part of you no one else can receive. A part of you that is more precious than anything in the world. You give them your heart. And what they do with it is their choice entirely. And that’s scary, especially when your heart is as clueless as you are.” - JoAnne Golden
“Just because something won’t last forever doesn’t mean it can’t last a lifetime.”
“You don’t get to choose, you just fall in love. And you get this person who is all wrong and all right at the same time. And you know that you love them so much except sometimes they just drive you completely insane and no one can explain it and the reason it’s so confusing is because it’s love. But if love didn’t have any challenges, what would be the point?” - Party of Five
“Love? It’s kind of complicated, but I’ll tell you this … the second you’re willing to make yourself miserable to make someone else happy, that’s love right there.”
“Do you ever put your arms up and spin really fast? That’s what love is like. It makes your heart race and turns the world upside down. But if you’re not careful, if you don’t keep your eyes on something still, you can lose your balance, you can’t see what’s happening to the people around you. You can’t see that you’re about to fall.” - Practical Magic
“Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.” – Robert Frost
“Well, it seems to me that the best relationships — the ones that last — are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, 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.” - The X-Files
“Falling in love is merely uncorking the imagination and bottling the common sense.” - Helen Rowland
“If it’s real … if it’s true love … then it will always be there. You can pretend it’s gone and even move on. But that love, it’s still there in the depths of your mind. Sometimes a single object or a song triggers it all and you’re right back where you started … in the arms of the one you lost.”
“Immature love says: ‘I love you because I need you.’ Mature love says ‘I need you because I love you.’” - Erich Fromm
“After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, and you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t mean security, and you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises, and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child, and you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure… that you really are strong, and you really do have worth.” - Veronica A. Shoffstall
“Anything less than mad, passionate, extraordinary love is a waste of time. There are too many mediocre things in life and love shouldn’t be one of them.”
“‘maybe we should all decide we’re going to meet the man of our dreams when we’re thirty-seven. Then we’ll stop squeezing into tight shirts and walking around half-naked and analyzing every encounter as future husband material. We’ll stop feeling the need to put on makeup to take out the trash just in case he’s walking by. Maybe we should just assume that we’ll meet our dream man at some future point, and stop driving ourselves crazy before then.’” - Starting From Square Two by Caren Lissner
“Remember, we all stumble, every one of us. That’s why it’s a comfort to go hand in hand.” - Emily Kimbrough
“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
“In love you find the oddest combinations: Materialistic people who find themselves in love with idealists. Clingers fall in love with players… homebodies capture and try to smother butterflies. If it weren’t so serious we could laugh at it.” - George Davis
“‘everybody loves a lover but too many people lack Staying Power. Love should be fatal. You should never recover from it. If you can then it wasn’t love.’” - My Legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
“Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that’s just fabulous.” - Sex and the City
“Your heart will heal and you will love like this again. The only difference is, when you do you will deny you ever loved like this before.”
“Everybody has a ‘gripping stranger’ in their lives… a stranger who unwittingly possesses a bizarre hold over you. Maybe it’s the kid in cutoffs who mows your lawn or the woman wearing White Shoulders who stamps your book at the library - a stranger who, if you were to come home and find a message from them on your answering machine saying ‘Drop everything. I love you. Come away with me now to Florida.’ You’d follow them.”
“People fall in love, and they fall right back out. It happens all the time.” - Hope Floats
“Then one stupid person, so 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.”
“It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.” - Erma Bombeck
“People change and forget to tell each other.” - Lillian Hellman
“I’ll tell you what real love is. It is blind devotion, unquestioning self-humiliation, utter submission, trust and belief against yourself and against the whole world, giving up your whole heart and soul to smitter.” -Charles Dickens, ‘Great Expectations’
“When you fall in love…I guess nobody ever does mean to fall in love. But it happens, and love brands itself on your brain. It’s like a new street appearing overnight in the city you’ve lived in your whole life. The street is one way — you can’t turn around and get off it — and it curves up ahead so that you can only see far enough to know that you are veering into the unknown.” - Fearful Symmetry
“We make so few promises to ourselves as we grow up. And one of them is that on our wedding day, we walk down the aisle with somebody we love. Somebody who does… make your heart bounce, I guess. And there are some promises, Harry, that I think we just have to keep.” - Ally McBeal
“Boys are like purses. You’re always gonna have that one boy that you’re always comfortable with and you know you’ll always kind of like. That’s your purse that you wear everywhere. Then you have that gorgeous bag that you want everyone to see you with but the gorgeous bag is usually an asshole or costs a lot of money. Then you have those other purses that you really like but you really don’t want to be seen with.” - Lauren Conrad
“Never forget what took me a lifetime to learn: You have only one heart, be true to it.” - Beyond Borders
“But sometimes, we just have to be happy with what people can offer us. Even if it’s not what we want, at least it’s something. You know?” – Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen
“It is a risk to love. What if it doesn’t work out? Ah, but what if it does?” - Patrick McWilliams
“You very rarely get everything you want in life, but when you don’t fight for it, you have even less of a chance. So here I am. Fighting. For you .” - Ugly Betty
“I was married, once. I married the first man I truly loved. Thought we had this whole fairy tale thing going on. It was, he was amazing. We were amazing. And then he did something, something stupid and thoughtless and mean. Kinda something I was not willing to forgive. So I left him and I left him behind and I went on and I live this whole other life now. And it’s good, it’s fine, I have a great guy, a doctor, my life is damn near perfect. But every once in a while I think about that guy and the fairy tale thing we had. I wonder if we’d still be amazing if we were together now. And I’ll never know. Cause the minute it got hard, the minute it stopped being a fairy tale, I cut and ran. Real life is hard, real stuff takes work. Real life is sometimes heartless and mean. But that doesn’t cancel out the love. So if you don’t love this girl, walk away. But if you look at her and you know she’s the one, you owe it to yourself to give her a second chance.” – Private Practice
“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so you can appreciate them when they’re right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself. And sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.” – Marilyn Monroe
“I feel like men are more romantic than women. When we get married we marry, like, one girl, because we’re resistant the whole way until we meet one girl and we think ‘I’d be an idiot if I didn’t marry this girl, she’s so great.’ But it seems like girls get to a place where they just kinda pick the best option… ‘Oh he’s got a good job.’ I mean they spend their whole life looking for Prince Charming and then they marry the guy who’s got a good job and is gonna stick around.” – Blue Valentine
“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.” - Bob Marley
“There is no such thing as the perfect soul mate. If you meet someone and you think they’re perfect, you better run as fast as you can in the other direction, ‘cause your soul mate is the person that pushes your buttons, pisses you off on a regular basis, and makes you face your shit.” - Madonna
“You know what’s the one wrong thing we all do when we fall in love? We expect. And it just ruins everything..”
“Dating is like trying to make a meal out of leftovers. Some leftovers actually get better when they’ve had a little time to mature, but others should be thrown out right away.” - Lisa Kleypas, Sugar Daddy
