Don't waste time thinking about them. If they walked away from your love, they don't deserve your pain.
- C.L. Brown
You are the flame, not the moth. And your job is to burn with conviction.
- Heidi Priebe
This Is Me Letting You Go
Don't feed your ego with my soul.
- Arzum Uzun
Maybe, if you can't get someone out of your head they were never meant to leave. Perhaps, they were meant to help change you into the person you have been waiting to become.
Too often in my life, love has been defined as "humiliation with occasional roses".
- Deb Caletti
The Secret Life of Prince Charming
… she gave me a look that deftly combined tenderness with revulsion. To this day the memory of that look still visits me like a Jehovah’s Witness: uninvited and tireless.
- Steve Toltz
We can help pave the roads of those around us, but we can't choose their direction.
- Michelle Moran
Rebel Queen
Everybody is taken in at some period or another. [...] In marriage especially. [...] There is not one in a hundred of either sex, who is not taken in when they marry. Look where I will, I see that it is so; and I feel that it must be so, when I consider that it is, of all transactions, the one in which people expect most from others, and are least honest with themselves.
- Jane Austen
Mansfield Park
I am replete with stamina in finding out every single fact I can about this whole affair.

Yet, I think, do I want to pull that thread? Do I want to unleash the truth, unravel deceit, and kill reality as I´ve known it? It is irreparable, if I do, from the moment we met until now. It is long. If I discover too much that is false about what I thought my past was, Time will be skewed even further. I already have a poor connection with the present. Example: I have no sense of what day it is. It´s better.
- Suzanne Finnamore
Split: A Memoir of Divorce
No one had told her this would happen, that her girlishness would give way to the solid force of wifehood, motherhood. The choices available were all imperfect. If you chose to be with someone, you often wanted to be alone. If you chose to be alone, you often felt the unbearable need for another body - not necessarily for sex, but just to rub your foot, to sit across the table, to drop his things around the room in a way that was maddening but still served as a reminder that he was there.
- Meg Wolitzer
The Position
Let Love Rule
- Lenny Kravitz
Unfortunately, he still hadn’t asked for my number, or a date, or my hand in marriage, and my drink was getting low.
- Kimberly Novosel
Loved
I kept loving and loving and loving. Every waking hour, I marveled on how these moments would make made me feel. I wanted to love the world and be the change it so deliciously craved.
Use every opportunity of humbling yourself before your fellow-men as a help to abide humble before God.
- Andrew Murray
Humility: The Journey Toward Holiness
Our actions are guaranteed to affect others. Because we are not alone in this world, much of our learning about ourselves comes from our interaction with others. Our relationships are our teachers. We learn from each other.
- Dr. Tae Yun Kim
Seven Steps to Inner Power
Because a quiet night is not the same as a silent one, a firm man is not the same as a steady one, and a bright light is not the same as a brilliant one.
- Tahereh Mafi
Unravel Me
Commitment is another name for relationship not the compromise.
I had a dream about you last night... you made a beard for yourself out of forty two bags of Twizzlers.
- Nicole McKay
I Had a Dream About You
We’re only instruments of love, flowing through heaps of pain hoping one day we’d hatch a passion of our own.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone.
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
- Kahlil Gibran
The Prophet
I didn't want to leave things the way we had, unresolved, ... and tried to tell myself he cared about me enough not to look elsewhere for what I wasn't giving him.
- Sarah Dessen
Someone Like You
for to have a deep attachment for a person (or a place or thing) is to have taken them as the terminating object of our instinctual responses."

That's the problem with relationships," George was saying. "It's a contract. You agree to be some unchanging caricature of yourself. To act the same way all the time. Never to change. It's counter-evolutionary. How can anything new and good come into your life, if you're holding on to something that doesn't exist anymore?
- Alex Shakar

Small animals are a great problem. I wish God had never created small animals, or else that He had made them so they could talk, or else that He'd given them better faces. Space. Take moths. They fly at the lamp and burn themsleves, and then they fly right back again. It can't be instinct, because it isn't the way it works. They just don't understand, so they go right on doing it. Then they lie on their backs and all their legs quiver, and then they're dead. Did you get all that? Does it sound good?"
"Very good," Grandmother said.
Sophia stood up and shouted, "Say this: say I hate everything that dies slow! Say I hate everything that won't let you help! Did you write that?
