“Love isn't about forcing submission,Grif. Its about...doing for the one you love. It's about their happiness over our own.”

“But love isn't just about feeling good. It's about doing what you don't want to do, over and over again, if it needs to be done, for the sake of someone else. Love is really about self-sacrifice.”

“Love is not about what you want. It's about finding happiness for the one you love.”

“Writing isn't about making money, getting famous, or making friends. It's about doing what you love the best you know how. It's about making a heart pound in fear, shrink from rage, weep with understanding, or soar with excitement. It's about making worlds and living in them deeply enough someone else can join you there. It's about life changed to words, words changed to life, over and over and over again. It's about giving.”

“Love isn't about honesty. It's about protecting the people you love from things that will hurt them.”

“Success in love isn't about looks, it's about attitude.”
