“She is my first and only love. Most people know that their first love will not be their only love. But for me, she is both.”

“When first love ends, most people eventually know there will be more to come. They are not through with love. Love is not through with them. It will never be the same as the first, but it will be better in different ways.”

“He was my first boyfriend, and I made him my everything - he was my new life, my new love, my new compass point. I guess that's the danger with firsts - you lose all sense of proportion.”

“Because when something happens, she's the person I want to tell. The most basic indicator of love.”

“C'mon, Paul," she says. "We all know love makes you do stupid things.”

“Falling in love with someone doesn’tmean you know any better how they feel. It only means you know how you feel.”

“And I find myself saying, “It wasn’t really about her.” And finding it’s true.What do you mean?” Norah asks.It was about the feeling, you know? She caused it in me, but it wasn’t about her. It was about my reaction, what I wanted to feel and then convinced myself that I felt, because I wanted it that bad. That illusion. It was love because I created it as love.”
