“Falling in love is great but being in love is a disaster”

“Love is like the little red toy wagon you get for your Christmas or your sixth birthday. It makes you deliriously happy and you just can't leave it alone. But sooner or later the wheels come off. Then you leave it in a corner and forget it. Falling in love is great. Being in love is a disaster”

“Falling in love too quickly spells disaster. But I’ve always lived dangerously, and I spell disaster with a Z.”

“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.”

“Falling in love has been greatly overrated. Falling in love consists of 45 percent fear of not being accepted, 45 percent manic hope that this time the fear will be put to shame and a modest 10 percent frail awareness of the possibility of love.I don't fall in love any more. Just like I don't get the mumps.”
