“People would never fall in love if they hadn't heard love talked about.”

“I'd heard about people falling in love, and I'd heard about lust. What I had never heard about was this all-consuming need to be inside another human being. I felt this desperate compulsion to become one with him. This was desire. This was to crave. This was what if felt like to want.”

“There are some people who would never have fallen in love if they had not heard there was such a thing.”

“As Romeo and Juliet found to their cost, marriage is never just about two people falling in love, it is about families.”

“There was no doubt about it. I was falling for my stepbrother. Long term this would likely result in my ending up on a tacky daytime talk show with other people who had an unnatural love for their relatives.”

“if you fall in love with 2 people at once choose the second one because if you truly loved the first one you never would have fell in love with the second one”
