Because Isn't That The Point

 

“Because isn’t that the point of every relationship: 

to be known by someone else, to be understood? 

He gets me. She gets me. 

Isn’t that the simple magic phrase?”

~ Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl

Physical Love

“Physical love is unthinkable without violence.”

~ Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

I Believe In Love The Verb

“I believe in love the verb, not the noun.”

~ Greg Behrendt, He's Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys

Someone Real

“Someone real," I hear myself saying. 

"Someone who never has to pretend, 

and who I never have to pretend around. 

Someone who's smart, but knows how to laugh at himself. 

Someone who would listen to a symphony and start to cry, 

because he understands music can be too big for words. 

Someone who knows me better than I know myself. 

Someone I want to talk to first thing in the morning 

and last thing at night. 

Someone I feel like I've known my whole life, 

even if I haven't.”

~ Jodi Picoult, Sing You Home
