You can only trust your emotions as you can lie to yourself with your brain but not your heart.
- Carl White
Everyone's relationships are weird if you look closely enough at them. I have a theory that if your relationship with someone isn't weird, you don't know them well enough yet.
- Cara Bastone
Seatmate
To save face, it's better not to ask sex from the ex, but to give everything the axe.
- Anthony Liccione
I had a dream about you. You suggested to split the profits, so I did. I threw one half in the furnace to power the steam engine, and the other half in the air to distract our pursuers.
- Bauvard
I Had a Dream About You
This is what our love is––a sacred pattern of unbroken unity sewn flawlessly invisible inside all other images, thoughts, smells, and sounds.
- Aberjhani
The River of Winged Dreams
When relationships become tempestuous, and our hearts cannot endure the cracks of emotional blizzards, we must retreat for a while into the rabbit hole of our inner world to foster insight, redeem ourselves, and recover mental balance. (“The Infinite Wisdom of Meditation“)
It sometimes seemed to him that for love to work, it had to be fair, that he should tell only half the joke, and she the other half. Otherwise, it would not be love, but something completely else–pity or entertainment, or stand-up comedy.
- Tao Lin
Bed
But, sometimes, especially late at night, when only the wind is awake with my thoughts, I feel an urgent need. I think of lacing up my tennis shoes and stepping out the door, already in a half run. I think of running and running forever, until I become part of the night sky. -The Art of Leaving
- Shilo Niziolek
Broad River Review
Whatever we say
We're always telling each other exactly what we want them to know...
We are always telling each other
The truth
Even when
We're lying
- Merrit Malloy
Things I Meant to Say to You When We Were Old
When the right person hugs you, it's like medicine. I'm so grateful for those few people in my life who are good for my soul.
I had a dream about you last night. It wasn't until after you sold me the talking car, I realized you were the world’s best ventriloquist.
- Michael Summers
I Had a Dream About You
Because that's what unfaithfulness is, isn't it? A cancer that's always there in the back of your mind, eating away at the foundations of the relationship.
- Matt Dunn
The Ex-Boyfriend's Handbook
Use the darkness of your past to propel you to a brighter future.
- Donata Joseph
I had a dream about you last night… it was raining and you were fishing for fire to set a sandcastle a flame.
- Nicole McKay
I Had a Dream About You
When introverts go to church, we crave sanctuary in every sense of the word, as we flee from the disorienting distractions of twenty-first-century life. We desire to escape from superficial relationships, trivial communications and the constant noise that pervade our world, and find rest in the probing depths of God's love.
- Adam S. McHugh
Introverts in the Church: Finding Our Place in an Extroverted Culture
When an accusation is thrown at you that does not fit you, when it doesn’t capture what you know to be true about yourself or your behavior, mentally flip it back on your partner. He is likely accusing you of what he is doing or feeling. Accusations can be about the narcissist’s own vulnerabilities and weaknesses (accusing you of being overly ambitious when he is ambitious, criticizing you for being unsuccessful or not making enough money when he is not feeling successful in that space)
- Ramani Durvasula
Should I Stay or Should I Go?: Surviving a Relationship with a Narcissist
The person following is never in control, which she knows full well and which is exactly why she does it.
- Sara Gruen
Flying Changes
I am unlovable...I have tried to involve myself in other people, in relationships, and even - in my sillier moments - in love. But it doesn't work. Something in me is broken or missing and sooner or later the other person catches me Acting or one of Those Nights comes along.
- Jeff Lindsay
Darkly Dreaming Dexter
The person who wants out of the relationship always gets her way.
- Emily Giffin
Something Blue
The time to read Madame Bovary is when your romantic hopes and desires have crashed, and you will believe that your future relationships will have disappointing - even devastating - consequences.
- John Irving
In One Person
Love is fickle and fleeting," Tsukiko continues. "It is rarely a solid foundation for decisions to be made upon, in any game.
- Erin Morgenstern
The Night Circus
It was the wildness of it that got me going: the primal lust, the sheer needs of two people in heat, quickly finding ways to express their sacred hunger to each other in animal passion.
- Fiona Thrust
Naked and Sexual
Always wanted a girl with a heart-shaped ass. Most of my exes have ass-shaped hearts.
- Quentin R. Bufogle
