Love between a man and a woman is inevitably complicated, corrupted, and obstructed by an unequal balance of power.
Shulamith Bath Shmuel Ben Ari Feuerstein
At my age an affair of the heart is a bypass!
Back when I was dating, the dreaded C word was Commitment. As soon as most men found out I had a child, they ran. If I ever got close enough to say the words, 'I love you,' they ran faster.
Love can really screw you up before you learn to live with it.
I love women. I love 'em to death, but sometimes you have to be careful. Sometimes these women out here play games, too.
The course of true love never did run smooth.
Falling in love was the easy part; planning a wedding - yikes!
People get stupid when they're in love; people want what they can't have; and the years between ages twelve and eighteen always, always suck.
You can't beat a love triangle.
Love is like the measles. The older you get it, the worse the attack.
I drank lots of water and orange juice and took a multivitamin and iron supplement for breakfast, which was my regimen since Bill had come into my life and brought (along with love, adventure, and excitement) the constant threat of anemia.
When love is not at its height, it always creates a mess.
Love, the quest; marriage, the conquest; divorce, the inquest.
Do you ever think that your life might be easier if you weren't in love with me?" — Edward Cullen
I love stories of love cropping up unexpectedly in life almost as a problem, as something you don't ask for. Something that messes everything up and makes you rethink everything.
I am drawn to women who are independent and creative, which is problematic because it's a struggle, a competition of careers. There's jealousy.
Love is all fun and games until someone loses an eye or gets pregnant.
It would probably be very sensible to be in love with someone who was not in the arts and who wasn't so prone to ups and downs. When I think of people who aren't in the arts, I immediately think of politicians for some reason, and I would never want to be with a politician.
You don't know when you're twenty-three. You don't know what it really means to crawl into someone else's life and stay there. You can't see all the ways you're going to get tangled, how you're going to bond skin to skin. How the idea of separating will feel in five years, in ten - in fifteen. When Georgie thought about divorce now, she imagined lying side by side with Neal on two operating tables while a team of doctors tried to unthread their vascular systems. She didn't know at twenty-three.
Sex alleviates tension. Love causes it.
I bet you never thought the hardest part of finding your ‘saviorʹ would be getting her mom to let her stay out past curfew.
Love so seldom means happiness.
As a songwriter, it can be a kiss of death for you to fall in love.
You only need to look at Jane Austen to see how crossed wires can become a defining aspect of romantic life. Then again, if the course of true love ran more smoothly, it would have a terribly detrimental effect on our cache of love stories.
The proper basis for marriage is mutual misunderstanding. The happiness of a married man depends on the people he has not married. One should always be in love - that's the reason one should never marry.
