“Sometimes we strive so hard for perfection that we forget that imperfection is happiness”

“i fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once” – John Green

“Kissing is a means of getting two people so close together that they can’t see anything wrong with each other.”

“After all, what is happiness? Love, they tell me. But love doesn’t bring and never has brought happiness. On the contrary, it’s a constant state of anxiety, a battlefield; it’s sleepless nights, asking ourselves all the time if we’re doing the right thing. Real love is composed of ecstasy and agony.

“To love someone deeply gives you strength. Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage.” – Lao Tzu -

Love?… It is about believing that you are not you;

How tightly I squeeze when I cannot find your eyes or your calm to hold.

Fortune favours the brave.

Everybody can use more love

“I ache for your presence, your touch, your desire. The fruition, the reality, the sanity that you bring. Your calming caress, your sleeping breath, your accepting resistance…I want it all.”

Love is the heat of my breath on her neck when she sleeps

Wanted to ask her what sound a heart made when it broke from pleasure, when just the sight of someone filled you the way food, blood, and air never could, when you felt as if you’d been born for only one moment and this, for whatever reason, was it.

It is the principle of existence, and its only end.

“We all want to fall in love. Why? Because that experience makes us feel completely alive. Where every sense is heightened, every emotion is magnified, our everyday reality is shattered and we are flying into the heavens. It may only last a moment, and hour, an afternoon. But that doesn’t diminish its value. Because we are left with memories that we treasure for the rest of our lives.

“Love cures people – ?”

That’s always seemed so ridiculous to me, that people want to be around someone because they’re pretty. It’s like picking your breakfeast cereals based on color instead of taste.

“I think you could fall in love with anyone if you saw the parts of them no one else gets to see. Like if you followed them around invisibly for a day and saw them crying or in their bed at night or singing in the shower or humming quietly to themselves as they make a dinner or even just walking along the street. And even if they were really weird, I think, after seeing them at their most vulnerable, you wouldn’t be able to help falling in love with them”

It is the addition of strangeness to beauty that constitutes the true meaning of understanding

Everyone has their weak spot. The one thing that, despite your best efforts, will always bring you to your knees, regardless of how strong you are otherwise

I will try to teach my heart not to want things it can have
