Love me when I least deserve it because that is when I really need it.

Everyone says that love hurts, but that's not true. Loneliness hurts, rejection hurts, losing someone hurts. Everyone confuses these things with love; but in reality, love is the only thing that covers up all the pain and makes us feel wonderful again.

When we hold each other, in the darkness, it doesn’t make the darkness go away. The bad things are still out there. The nightmares still walking. When we hold each other we feel not safe, but better. “It’s all right” we whisper, “I’m here, I love you.” and we lie: “I’ll never leave you.” For just a moment or two the darkness doesn’t seem so bad.

You never know the biggest day of your life is your biggest day, not until it’s happening, not until you’re right in the middle of it. The day you commit to something or someone.The day you get your heart broken. The day you meet your soul mate. The day you realize there’s not enough time because you wanna live forever. Those are the biggest days. The perfect days. You know, it was a beautiful day.

Scars remind us of where we have been, not where we are going.

You can never teach a guy to love you the way you want to be loved. You have to wait for him to do it his own way at his own time.

Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it’s cracked up to be. That’s why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don’t risk anything, you risk even more."

It is better to be at the bottom of a ladder you want to climb than halfway up one you don't.

It just seems like you should do things because you want to do them rather than because you can't come up with an argument not to.

Decide that you want it more than you’re afraid of it.

If you want to be loved, be lovable.

When life gives you a thousand reasons to cry, show life you have a thousand reasons to smile.

A great relationship happens when two people who truly understand each other and love each other for who they are when they come together and create something stronger than either of them could ever be on their own.

I love that after i spend a day with you, i can still smell your perfume on my clothes. I love that you are the last person i want to talk to before i go to sleep at night. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

You've got to risk love, it doesn't mean that you're never going to get hurt but the pain you feel will never compare to the regret that comes from walking away from love.

Do you ever put your arms out and just spin and spin and spin? Well that's what love is like. Everything inside of you tells you to stop before you fall but you just keep going.

Love and electricity are one and the same, my dear. If you do not feel the jolt in your soul every time a kiss is shared, a whisper is spoken, a touch is felt then you are not really in love at all.

That's the thing, she's my other half. She's everything that i'm not. Without her, i'm not whole. Before i met her i'd be walking through life thinking i was happy, that i was complete - but now i can't go back to just being me because now i know what it is like to be whole.

It's more like...gravity moves. When you see her, suddenly it's not the earth holding you here anymore, she does. And nothing matters more than her. And you would do anything for her, be anything for her...You become whatever she needs you to be.

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.
