“Being in love was vastly different from loving someone. When you were in love, it consumed you. Devoured you. And made you deliriously happy.”

“Loving someone is different from being in love with someone. You can hate someone you're in love with”

“Ah, but being in love made you mean and crazy. Love made you act like a fool even when you knew you were acting like a fool and couldn't help yourself from acting like a fool.”

“If being in love made a person mad, then being away from the one you loved made you a lunatic.”

“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”

“If you were to turn into a snake tomorrow and begin devouring Humans, and from the same mouth you devoured Humans, you cried out to me 'I love you!', would I still be able to say 'I love you' the same way I do today?”
