2. “I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates or love at first sight.

27. “I want to be in a relationship where you telling me you love me is just a ceremonious validation of what you already show me.”- Steve Maraboli
28. “When we’re incomplete, we’re always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we’re still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on-series polygamy–until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.”- Tom Robbins
28. “Never marry at all, Dorian. Men marry because they are tired, women, because they are curious: both are disappointed.”- Oscar Wilde

31. “I know enough to know that no woman should ever marry a man who hated his mother.”-Martha Gellhorn
32. “People like to say love is unconditional, but it’s not, and even if it was unconditional, it’s still never free. There’s always an expectation attached. They always want something in return. Like they want you to be happy or whatever and that makes you automatically responsible for their happiness because they won’t be happy unless you are . I just don’t want that responsibility.”- Katja Millay
33. “Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?”- Mary Manin Morrissey
34. “When you don’t talk, there’s a lot of stuff that ends up not getting said.”- Catherine Gilbert Murdock

36. Usually, adult males who are unable to make emotional connections with the women they choose to be intimate with are frozen in time, unable to allow themselves to love for fear that the loved one will abandon them. If the first woman they passionately loved, the mother, was not true to her bond of love, then how can they trust that their partner will be true to love. Often in their adult relationships these men act out again and again to test their partner’s love. While the rejected adolescent boy imagines that he can no longer receive his mother’s love because he is not worthy, as a grown man he may act out in ways that are unworthy and yet demand of the woman in his life that she offer him unconditional love. This testing does not heal the wound of the past, it merely reenacts it, for ultimately the woman will become weary of being tested and end the relationship, thus reenacting the abandonment. This drama confirms for many men that they cannot put their trust in love. They decide that it is better to put their faith in being powerful, in being dominant.”- bell hooks
36. “Cheating and lying aren’t struggles, they’re reasons to break up.”- Patti Callahan Henry

38. “Part of the problem with the word ‘disabilities’ is that it immediately suggests an inability to see or hear or walk or do other things that many of us take for granted. But what of people who can’t feel? Or talk about their feelings? Or manage their feelings in constructive ways? What of people who aren’t able to form close and strong relationships? And people who cannot find fulfillment in their lives, or those who have lost hope, who live in disappointment and bitterness and find in life no joy, no love These, it seems to me, are the real disabilities.”- Fred Rogers
39. Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.”- David Richo
40. “Relationships dont always make sense. Especially from the outside.”- Sarah Dessen
41. “Every couple has ups and downs, every couple argues, and that’s the thing—you’re a couple, and couples can’t function without trust.”- Nicholas Sparks
42. “Lots of things can be fixed. Things can be fixed. But many times, relationships between people cannot be fixed,because they should not be fixed. You’re aboard a ship setting sail, and the other person has joined the inland circus, or is boarding a different ship, and you just can’t be with each other anymore. Because you shouldn’t be.”- C. JoyBell C.

45. “If a girl starts out all casual with a guy and she doesn’t tell him that she wants a relationship, it will never become a relationship. If you give the guy the impression that casual is okay with you, that’s all he’ll ever want. Be straight with him from the start. If he gets scared and runs away, he wasn’t right for you.”- Susane Colasanti
46. “A dame that knows the ropes isn’t likely to get tied up.”- Mae West
47. “Relationships are mysterious. We doubt the positive qualities in others, seldom the negative. You will say to your partner: do you really love me? Are you sure you love me? You will ask this a dozen times and drive the person nuts. But you never ask: are you really mad at me? Are you sure you’re angry? When someone is angry, you don’t doubt it for a moment. Yet the reverse should be true. We should doubt the negative in life, and have faith in the positive.”- Christopher Pike
48. “I know my heart will never be the same. But I’m telling myself I’ll be okay.”- Sara Evans

50. “Women cannot complain about men anymore until they start getting better taste in them.”- Bill Maher
51. “We die to each other daily. What we know of other people is only our memory of the moments during which we knew them. And they have changed since then. To pretend that they and we are the same is a useful and convenient social convention which must sometimes be broken. We must also remember that at every meeting we are meeting a stranger.”- T.S. Eliot
52. “What we wait around a lifetime for with one person, we can find in a moment with someone else.”- Stephanie Klein
53. “If you spend your time hoping someone will suffer the consequences for what they did to your heart, then you’re allowing them to hurt you a second time in your mind.”- Shannon L. Alde
54. “Forgive the past. It is over. Learn from it and let go. People are constantly changing and growing. Do not cling to a limited, disconnected, negative image of a person in the past. See that person now. Your relationship is always alive and changing.”- Brian Weiss
55. “Of course it hurt that we could never love each other in a physical way. We would have been far more happy if we had. But that was like the tides, the change of seasons–something immutable, an immovable destiny we could never alter. No matter how cleverly we might shelter it, our delicate friendship wasn’t going to last forever. We were bound to reach a dead end. That was painfully clear.”- Haruki Murakami
56. “I care,” he said in a trembling voice. “I care so much that I do not know how to tell you without it seeming inconsequential compared to how I feel. Even if I am distant at times and seem as if I do not want to be with you, it is only because this scares me, too.”- Aimee Carter
57. “nothing in this world was more difficult than love.”- Gabriel García Márquez
58. “I think you are wrong to want a heart. It makes most people unhappy. If you only knew it, you are in luck not to have a heart.”- L. Frank Baum

60. “Books are a poor substitute for female companionship, but they are easier to find.”- Patrick Rothfuss
61. “He could totally be your boyfriend, Angel went on with annoying persistance. You guys could get married. I could be like a junior bridesmaid. Total could be your flower dog.I’m only a kid I shrieked. I can’t get married You could in New Hampshire. My mouth dropped open. How does she know this stuff Forget it No one’s getting married I hissed. Not in New Hampshire or anywhere else! Not in a box, not with a fox Now go to sleep, before I kill you.”- James Patterson
62. “We kiss all the time. I clear my throat, then add, We just.do it in private. A smug expression crosses his face. I don’t buy it for a second, ’cause if you were my girlfriend and a stud like me was livin in your house, I’d kiss you in front of the guy every chance I got as a reminder. A reminder of w-w-what That you were mine.”- Simone Elkeles

72. “We die containing a richness of lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we have plunged into and swum up as if rivers of wisdom, characters we have climbed into as if trees, fears we have hidden in as if caves. I wish for all this to be marked on by body when I am dead. I believe in such cartography – to be marked by nature, not just to label ourselves on a map like the names of rich men and women on buildings. We are communal histories, communal books. We are not owned or monogamous in our taste or experience.”- Michael Ondaatje
73. “You can measure the happiness of a marriage by the number of scars that each partner carries on their tongues, earned from years of biting back angry words.”- Elizabeth Gilbert

80. “It’s probably a bad indicator of your lifestyle when you miss your ex-boyfriend because he’s absolutely lethal.”- Charlaine Harris
81. “That’s when I finally got it. I finally understood. It wasn’t the thought that counted. It was the actual execution that mattered, the showing up for somebody. The intent behind it wasn’t enough. Not for me. Not anymore. It wasn’t enough to know that deep down, he loved me. You had to actually say it to somebody, show them you cared. And he just didn’t. Not enough.”- Jenny Han
