“Pain or love or danger makes you real again....”

“You can't have real pain without real love. You can't feel grief and loss and hurt without real love. Love is the only way you can ever be really hurt deep down.”

“Love hurts. There is nothing as painful as heartbreak. But in order to learn to love again you must learn to trust again.”

“Love is dangerous, if you know it's dangerous, that makes you treasure it, and you'll work harder to keep it.”

“yes. Menace and danger, That's what passion is-dangerous love-love that put you at risk, that gets a hold of you and makes you do things you wouldn't normally do. It's the only love worth having..”

“People say to me, ‘How do I know if a word is real?’ You know, anybody who’s read a children’s book knows that love makes things real. If you love a word, use it. That makes it real.”
