To lose love is a terrible thing. But to turn away from it is unbearable. Will you spend the rest of your life replaying it in your head? Wondering if you walked away too soon or too easily? Or if you'll ever love anyone that deeply again?
Nobody's strong enough to be a parent. We just do it, blindly, going forward on faith and love and hope. That's all it is...Being afraid...and going on.
I didn't know how...deep love ran, how it was in your blood, not your heart, and how that same blood pumped through your veins your whole life.
Some stories don't have happy endings. Even love stories. Maybe especially love stories.
A romance novel focuses exclusively on two people falling in love. It can't be about a woman caring for her aging mother or something like that. It can have that element, but it has to be primarily about the male-female relationship.
Of course you can fall in love. You just have to let yourself. They don't call it falling for nothing. -Kate
Jude remembered this pain. Every woman had felt some version of it: the end of first love. It was when you learned, for good and always, that love could be impermanent.
Oh, Mia. You haven’t even begun to find out who you really are, and, believe me, other boys are going to fall in love with you. If a guy can’t see how special you are, he isn’t good enough for you.
When you get . . . to the end, you see that love and family are all there is. Nothing else matters.
Marriages go through hard times. Sometimes you have to get in there and fight for your love. That's the only way for it to get better.
I always thought it was what I wanted: to be loved and admired. Now I think perhaps I'd like to be known.
If I have learned anything in this long life of mine, it is this: in love we find out who we want to be; in war we find out who we are.
It isn’t about being at the same school or the same town or even the same room. It’s about being together. Love is a choice you make.
