Quote

All men and women have an equal need for love. When these needs are not fulfilled it is easy to have our feelings hurt, for which we blame our partner.

Love's an excuse to get hurt.

Our own self-love draws a thick veil between us and our faults.

I believe we live in a love-starved society. Everywhere you go there are probably people who haven't had the right kind of love in their lives.

People confuse ego, lust, insecurity with true love.

Providing - that's not love. Being there - that's more important. I mean, we see that. We see that with all these rich socialites. They're crying out for attention; they're hurting for love. I'm not being judgmental - I'm just making an observation. They're crying out for the love that maybe they didn't get at home, and they got everything.

Sometimes you see how humanity can rise above any kind of cultural ills and hate that a person's capacity to love and communicate and forgive can be bigger than anything else.

Our culture encourages women to nurture men, making it predictable that many experience a seductive empathy for abusive men, as well as the misguided hope that love can obliterate an ugly past.

When the people we love stop paying attention, trust begins to slip away and hurt starts seeping in.

All pain is a punishment, and every punishment... is inflicted by love as much as by justice.
