“You don't sit down and write a wish list about the person you are going to fall violently in love with. It just doesn't work like that.”

“Love, commitment, it's not rational. It doesn't follow a set of rules. It doesn't care about race, gender, education, time, what's rational or irrational, age, it doesn't care about the natural, the supernatural, the normal or the paranormal. Love is just love and when you fall in love with someone, you don't let that go because it doesn't fit in with someone else's ideas about what love looks like. If you do, you don't deserve to have it in the first place.”

“If you're dating a writer and they don't write about you - whether good or bad - then they don't love you. They just don't. Writers fall in love with the people we find inspiring.”

“But death doesn't work like that. It doesn't care if someone loves you, doesn't want you to go. It just takes. It takes and it takes until eventually you have nothing left.”

“Just because things don't work out, it doesn't mean there aren't other people you can't love. Love is too big a thing for you to go without it in life.”

“You don't want to work to fall in love, you want to be in love. Like in a fairy tale.”
