When you`re looking for love and it seems like you might not ever find it, remember you probably have access to an abundance of it already, just not the romantic kind, This kind of love might not kiss you in the rain or propose marriage. But it will listen to you, inspire and restore you. It will hold you when you cry, celebrate when youre happy, and sing All Saints with you when you're drunk. You have so much to gain and learn from this kind of love.
- Everything I Know About Love, by Dolly Alderton

"And that's the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too."
-The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosscini

"But who can say what's best? That's why you need to grab whatever chance you have of happiness where You find it, and not worry about other people too much. My experience tells me that we get no more than two or three such chances in a life time, and if we let them go, we regret it for the rest of our lives."
- Norwegian Wood, by Haruki Murakami
