“You have to fall in love to be in love, but falling in love isn't the same as being in love”
“Yet falling in love is not the same as being able to love.”
“First best is falling in love. Second best is being in love. Least best is falling out of love. But any of it is better than never having been in love.”
“Is falling in love with someone's story the same thing as falling in love with the person himself?”
“...falling in love and trying to make someone fall in love with you and working to stay in love and forcing yourself to fall out of love with someone who will never love you back is much, much more exhausting than being alone.”
“Men have strength, Miss Ferenczi said, but no true magic. That is why men fall in love with women but women do not fall in love with men: they just love being loved.”
