“For most people, the two primary relationships they have are with their families or romantic ones. And everyone knows those two relationships have a lot to do with one another.”
Daniel Handler
“If you got something you don't want other people to know, keep it in your pocket.”
Muddy Waters
“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.”
Morrie Schwartz
“The essence of romantic love is that wonderful beginning, after which sadness and impossibility may become the rule.”
Anita Brookner
“Romantic love, in pornography as in life, is the mythic celebration of female negation. For a woman, love is defined as her willingness to submit to her own annihilation. The proof of love is that she is willing to be destroyed by the one whom she loves, for his sake. For the woman, love is always self-sacrifice, the sacrifice of identity, will, and bodily integrity, in order to fulfill and redeem the masculinity of her lover.”
Andrea Dworkin
“Men always want to be a woman's first love - women like to be a mans last romance.”
Oscar Wilde
“Still and all, why bother? Here's my answer. Many people need desperately to receive this message: I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.”
Kurt Vonnegut
