Love demands everything, they say, but my love demands only this: that no matter what happens or how long it takes, you`ll keep faith in me, you`ll remember who we are, and you`ll never feel despair.

some people fall in love over and over again while some people can only do it once.

I was supposed to write a romantic comedy, but my characters broke up.

Maybe the truth is, there's a little bit of loser in all of us. Being happy isn't having everything in your life be perfect. Maybe it's about stringing together all the little things.

Let me love you, but don't love me back. Do love me and let me hate you for a while. Let me feel like I have some control, because I know I never do.

When she is happy, she can't stop talking, when she is sad she doesn't say a word.

She knew whose love she doubted. It wasn't her parents' and it wasn't her friends: It was her own.

She thought she was independent and strong, but she got one small taste of love and she was hungrier than anyone. She was ravenous.

You know what the secret is? It's so simple. We love one another. We're nice to one another. Do you know how rare that is? - Carmen

Time is what keeps things from happening all at once.

When you feel someone else's pain and joy as powerfully as if it were your own, then you know you really loved them.

You couldn't erase the past. You couldn't even change it. But sometimes life offered you the opportunity to put it right.

Parents were the only ones obligated to love you; from the rest of the world you had to earn it.

He wanted to take his love back from her so badly. The old techniques didn’t work anymore. In fact, they’d never worked. How do you stop loving someone? It was one of the world’s more brutal mysteries. The more you tried, the less it worked.

Try, reach, want, and you may fall. But even if you do, you might be okay anyway. If you don't try, you save nothing, because you might as well be dead.

Love who you love while you have them. That's all you can do. Let them go when you must. If you know how to love, you'll never run out.

You have been with me from the very first life. You are my first memory every time, the single thread in all of my lives. It`s you who makes me a person.
