“There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.”

“That was the thing. You never got used to it, the idea of someone being gone. Just when you think it's reconciled, accepted, someone points it out to you, and it just hits you all over again...”

“Love is needing someone. Love is putting up with someone's bad qualities because they somehow complete you.”

“You can't just plan a moment when things get back on track, just as you can't plan the moment you lose your way in the first place.”

“Don't be a fool. Don't give up something important to hold onto someone who can't even say they love you.”

“I didn't want to leave things the way we had, unresolved, ... and tried to tell myself he cared about me enough not to look elsewhere for what I wasn't giving him.”
