Maybe we judge people too much by their looks because it's easier than seeing what's really important.

Maybe you actually do need to face obstacles with someone to know that they're the one you'd sacrifice for.

I have a great deal of empathy for anyone who's having a hard time. I believe this ability to see another's viewpoint has served me well as a writer.

That's what true love should be like-the person should be part of your soul and you should know what they're feeling all the time.

This isn't a fairy tale. It's New York City.

I love you, I thought. But I didn't say it. It was not that I feared she would laugh in my face. She was far too kind for that. My fear was a greater one - that she won't say it back.

True love would look a second time. True love would not be thwarted. True love would not accept no for an answer. He would search the world and certainly look again and again in every cottage in Euphrasia until he finds you.
