Some quotes are SR esp Sid, maybe also Shilpa
"When you showed someone how you felt, it was fresh and honest. Whe you told someone how you felt, there might be nothing behind the words but habit or expectation."
"When you love someone, you say their name different. Like it's safe inside your mouth."
Once for all; I knew to my sorrow, often and often, if not always, that I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be. Once for all; I loved her none the less because I knew it
Love her, love her, love her! If she favours you, love her. If she wounds you, love her. If she tears your heart to pieces ' and as it gets older and stronger, it will tear deeper ' lover her, love her, love her!
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 the smiter.
"Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it's not because they enjoy solitude. It's because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them."
Sometimes we love with nothing more than hope. Sometimes we cry with everything except tears. In the end that's all there is: love and its duty, sorrow and its truth. In the end that's all we have - to hold on tight until the dawn."
" We know who we are, and we define what we are, by references to the people we love and our reasons for loving them...."
"People always say that, when you love someone, nothing in the world matters. But that's not true, is it? You know, and I know, that when you love someone, everything in the world matters a little bit more."
"Things that break - be they bones, hearts, or promises - can be put back together but will never really be whole."
"I know what it's like to start something and have it suddenly grow out of control. And you want to get rid of it, because it's hurting you and everyone else around you, but every time you try to do that, it consumes you again.
"But love wasn't about sacrifice, and it wasn't about falling short of someone's expectations. By definition, love made you better than good enough; it redefined perfection to include your traits, instead of excluding them. All any of us wanted, really, was to know that we counted. That someone else's life would not have been as rich without us here."
"Memory is like plaster: peel it back and you just might find a completely different picture."
