“Love isn't something to be given on whim, or shelved when it isn't convenient. Love is gift, a promise, and a belief in another person. If you treat it as such, it will fulfill you always”

“You can chase love. If you are lucky enough to catch it…is it really yours?”

“The greatest testament of a life lived is to be missed when you are gone. It is not something you can plan for or buy ahead of time. It is a sentiment that comes freely from the lives you touch in positive ways.”

“Love has to be a two-way street; otherwise, you'll never meet in the middle.”

“If love is like driving a car, then I must be the worst driver in the world. I missed all the signs and ended up lost.”

“There are many types of pain. The only one that aspirin won't help is a hurting heart. That's why there is alcohol.”

“Don't you know that love isn't just going to bed? Love isn't an act, it's a whole life. It's staying with her now because she needs you; it's knowing you and she will still care about each other when sex and daydreams, fights and futures -- when all that's on the shelf and done with. Love -- why, I'll tell you what love is: it's you at seventy-five and her at seventy-one, each of you listening for the other's step in the next room, each afraid that a sudden silence, a sudden cry, could mean a lifetime's talk is over.”
