William Godwin Quotes

Love involves a peculiar unfathomable combination of understanding and misunderstanding.

Romance is sort of an island right next to care. When you care about someone and you listen to them and you hear them and you can feel them and you know just what's right, and generally it's something that will be very unimpressive to a room of strangers.

I have been in love, and it was a great feeling. It's when you are attracted to and feel affection for someone. You want to do things for that person. But only love isn't enough in a relationship - understanding and communication are very important aspects.

I hope it's enabling me to deal with another human being who's more important to me than I am.

I hope that I would be considered romantic. I don't know... one of my favorite movies is 'The Notebook' so I guess that would be considered romantic. But I think being romantic is more than the flowers and the gifts. It's about connecting with the person and being able to talk and share things with her.

I don't make romantic films. I make films about human relationships.

Love without conversation is impossible.

A man is already halfway in love with any woman who listens to him.

The only abnormality is the incapacity to love.

It's very difficult to judge relationships from the outside. You never know what happens in intimate moments with two people to know why they really support and love each other.

I'm an affectionate person.

Intimate relationships are a gold mine for literature to explore, to understand, to describe.

There can be nothing without love. No money, no power. Love is very important. When you wake up in the morning, you need to know that somebody else is waking up, thinking of you.

What are gold and jewels and precious utensils? Mere dross and dirt. The human face and the human heart, reciprocations of kindness and love, and all the nameless sympathies of our nature - these are the only objects worth being attached to.

It is difficult to love people; even when you do love them, it is difficult to know how - how to express it.

There's only so many variations on the basics of human relationships. To me, it's all about the detail and how you tell the story. How you say, 'I love you.'

There are many doors to the heart.

Compassion, loyalty, and respect sum up love for me - it's a mix that's very rare to find and even harder to imbibe.

I love exploring the more complicated side of love. I feel like I've always gravitated toward that.

I try to photograph with love and sympathy.
