"Who is the other woman whose photograph I do not have? If my mother was the first in my life, she was the last: my lover and my downfall, my hope and my despair. Her photographs I burned in an ashtray, one at a time - some might say to be rid of the evidence. Her name was Theresa Aden: Theresa like the saint; Aden like Eden, complete with snake."

"To love somebody is not just a strong feeling—it is a decision, it is a judgment, it is a promise. If love were only a feeling, there would be no basis for the promise to love each other forever. A feeling comes and it may go. How can I judge that it will stay forever, when my act does not involve judgment and decision?"
Erich Fromm
"You did what you did out of love. I can't be mad at you over that. It was stupid, but that's how love is. Do you have any idea what I'd do for you? To keep you safe?"
Richelle Mead

Evangelist Jordan Wells
"I do believe that people can only be in love with one landscape in their lifetime. One can appreciate and enjoy many geographies, but there is only one that one feels in one’s bones."
J.M. Coetzee
"To enlighten the world, let your light of love and kindness shine as bright as the morning sun."

"Never regret trusting someone. It proves you have a heart. But if he turns out to be a lying worm ... I'm not going to waste my time crying. Because I am way too fabulous for that."
Jude Watson
"A body is a body, but only voices are capable of love."
Ricardo Piglia
"Them lady poets must not marry, pal . . . It is a true error to marry with poets / or to be by them."
John Berryman
"To respect the dignity of a relationship also implies accepting the end when it comes. Except in my mind, except in my dreams, where the aftertaste of her still lingers."
André Brink
"True love is an act of the will—a conscious decision to do what is best for the other person instead of ourselves."
Billy Graham
"Lust arrives as an angel disguised as love, but it's still lust, not love."
