The End Of A Relationship

“The end of a relationship is not always a failure. 

Sometimes all the love in the world is not enough to save something. 

In these cases, it is not a matter of fault from either person. 

Some things cannot be, it's as simple as that.”

~ Ashly Lorenzana

I Suppose It's Not A Social Norm

“I suppose it’s not a social norm, 

and not a manly thing to do — 

to feel, discuss feelings. 

So that’s what I’m giving the finger to. 

Social norms and stuff…

what good are social norms, really? 

I think all they do is project a limited 

and harmful image of people. 

It thus impedes a broader 

social acceptance of what someone, 

or a group of people, might actually be like.”

~ Jess C Scott, New Order

Love Without Sacrifice

“Love without sacrifice is like theft”

~ Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Bed of Procrustes: 

Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms

Why Don't We Break Up?

“Why don’t we break up? 

I guess I stay with her because she stays with me. 

And that’s not an easy thing to do.”

~ John Green, Looking for Alaska

Right Now We Are Here

“Right now we are here, 

and nothing can mar our perfection, 

or steal the joy of this perfect moment.”

~ Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveler's Wife
