“Loving someone should never end in all-consuming devastation.”

“I didn’t need anyone to take care of me, but I did want someone to love me enough to try.”

“I didn't want someone who would have to force himself to love me or for me to pretend that I loved him back. I had always hoped that love would be mutually instinctual and natural- as easy as breathing”

“I never understood how men could remember all those details about sports but, yet, were incapable of remembering where they set their car keys or wallet.”

“Taryn Mitchell," he said, looking me in the eyes. "I love you. With all my heart."I felt all the blood rush from my body and surge right into my chest. All this time I waited for a man to say those words to me and mean it, and now I was hearing them from the one person I had hoped would say them. I gazed into his eyes and said what was in my heart. It was as easy and natural as breathing. "I love you too - more than anything in this world.”

“You don't really know how much you miss someone until it's gone.”

“Who are you all going to gossip about once thecelebrities leave town? You’ll need to find someone else to talk about.” I couldn’t help but laugh.“We’ll just talk about you, Tar. We’ll sit around and reminisce about how much fun you used to bewhile using the cobwebs growing between your legs to knit hats for the poor!”
