“Infatuation's just another word for not seeing clearly. When you start to love a person- that's when they become real”

“When you start to really know someone, all his physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in his energy, recognize the scent of his skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That's why you can't fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and body but not your heart. And that's why, when you really connect with a person's inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant.”

“When you look back and realize there is no way you would have had a better life with another person, that's when the relationship or marriage becomes worth it.”

“When there's just one pin left standing, you start to see things a little more clearly.”

“When you fall in love you recognise you're not the most important person in the world, and your focus becomes another person.”

“A real relationship doesn't properly begin until the NRE burns away. That's when you have to start dealing with this person as an all-around human being, replete with irritating little habits. When disillusion sets in, love can begin.”
