When she was younger, she felt that he wanted to know everything about her, but she was sometimes afraid to tell too much. She was afraid he would know her too well, that he would find some weakness in her, some element that would turn him away, maybe even a quality she didn't even realize she possessed.
- Michael Stein
He was everything your mother warned you about when she told you not to walk alone in the dark.
- Nenia Campbell
Armed and Dangerous
We look down our noses at people who've made mistakes in relationships. She's so stupid! How could she do that! Our superiority makes us feel better. But I’d bet everything I have on the fact that people to claim to have a perfect record in love are either lying or have very limited dating experience. People who say, I’d never do that! Someday, unless you are very, very lucky, you’ll have a story to tell. Or not to tell.
- Deb Caletti
The Secret Life of Prince Charming
We had been friends. We could not become strangers. It left only one thing: we must be enemies.
- John Christopher
The Prince in Waiting

Those who take lightly promises they make to those they love are people who find little lasting satisfaction in life. This is not an easy time in which to live. That does not mean that it has to be a difficult time to love, but it does mean that you will find unusual stresses upon your lives and your relationship.
- Brandon Sanderson
The Well of Ascension
I love you as the mother of my child": the kiss of death.
Mother of His Child: demotion. I am beginning to see this truism: Mothers are not always wives. I have been stripped of a piece of self.
- Suzanne Finnamore
Split: A Memoir of Divorce
That, I think, is the shock of any relationship ending. It is realizing that what is still an ongoing relationship to someone is, for the other person, something finished and done with.
- Robin Hobb
Fool's Assassin
What we need is clarity in our relationships and desires. We must let go of hollow illusions if we want to discover our authenticity and step toward freedom of thinking.
(“Twilight of desire”)
Just because you discover that you may like somebody after all, it doesn't necessarily mean there's any attraction.
- Steve Kluger
We can't be so desperate for love that we forget where we can always find it; within.
- Alexandra Elle
I am looking for the one I can’t fool.
- Kamand Kojouri
That's one of the first things that comes out of young people's mouths when they're in love. FOREVER. And that's cool, it's all good-until you get old enough to realize what forever is.
- Ice-T
Ice: A Memoir of Gangster Life and Redemption—from South Central to Hollywood
The manlier you are, the harder it is to understand what a woman wants: there is not a hint of female brain in you.
- Criss Jami
Killosophy
Don't be a fool. Don't give up something important to hold onto someone who can't even say they love you.
- Sarah Dessen
Someone Like You
Then I imagined a lifetime of having to cry to get him to be kind, and I went back to no again.
- Mary Ann Shaffer
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
I feel incendiary, a wildfire. My spirit licks at the gates of a very elaborate, customized, and distracting emotional Hades.
- Suzanne Finnamore
Split: A Memoir of Divorce
I didn't dream about you last night. I woke up in fear.
- Michael Summers
I Had a Dream About You
Relationships with narcissists are held in place by hope
of a “someday better,” with little evidence to support it will ever arrive.
- Ramani Durvasula
Should I Stay or Should I Go?: Surviving a Relationship with a Narcissist
A horrible end is better than endless horror.
- Oliver Markus
Sex and Crime: Oliver's Strange Journey
She needed the chaos within her in order to discover the extraordinary no man could ever reach.
I was flipping channels, watching this cheerleading program on MTV. They took a field hockey girl and “transformed” her into a cheerleader by the end of the show. I was just wondering: what if she liked field hockey better?
- Jess C Scott
EyeLeash: A Blog Novel
Better not to invent her in her absence. Better to wait until she's actually here. Then he can make her up as she goes along.
- Margaret Atwood
The Blind Assassin
Take me now, God!" I shout to the inky sky. "I´m ready."
"You´re not ready. You´re not even divorced yet," Bunny says. "You cannot die married to that man.
