“There is no amount of communication or work that can overcome being with someone who does not want what you want.”

“There are only two ways to experience joy and peace of mind in relationships; we either get what we want or we learn to be happy with what we have.”

“If someone believes you are worth the effort they will make the effort.”

“The world may not owe you anything but you owe yourself the world!”

“Don't expect to sit next to the moon unless you are a star!”

“Never separate your mind from your heart when making relationship decisions. The purpose of the mind is to protect the heart.”

“Getting over it doesn't mean forgetting it, it just means reducing the pain to a tolerable level, a level that doesn't destroy you. I know that right now the idea of getting over it is unimaginable. It's impossible, inconceivable, unthinkable. You don't want to get over it. Why should you? It's all you've got. You don't want kind words, you don't care what other people think or say, you don't want to know how they felt when they lost someone, They're no you, are there! They can't feel what you feel. The only thing you want is the things you can't have. It's gone. Never coming back. No one know how that feels. No one know what it's like to reach out and touch someone who isn't there and will never be there again. No one knows the unifiable emptiness. No one but you. You and me, love. We don't want anything. We want to die, but life won't let us. We're all it's got.”
