Quote

In love, unlike most other passions, the recollection of what you have had and lost is always better than what you can hope for in the future.

Those who have never known the deep intimacy and the intense companionship of mutual love have missed the best thing that life has to give.

I believe that when you're in love you have to pour your heart and soul out to your partner... or why bother? So in that sense I'm an incurable romantic when it comes to men.

Many people when they fall in love look for a little haven of refuge from the world, where they can be sure of being admired when they are not admirable, and praised when they are not praiseworthy.

When I am in love, I am ridiculously and hopelessly romantic.

There are very few people who are not ashamed of having been in love when they no longer love each other.

Love is when he gives you a piece of your soul, that you never knew was missing.

Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists... When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.

Part of me feels you can't say you were truly in love if it didn't last. If I end up getting married and having kids, that's when I'll know it's real - because it lasted.

People still do fall in and out of love and can and cannot express what they feel and are very much pained because the person they love is with somebody else. That's happening the whole world over, and I think it always has been.
