W. Somerset Maugham quote #211 from The Painted Veil

I know that youre selfish selfish beyond words and I know that you havent the nerve of a rabbit I know youre a liar and a humbug I know that youre utterly contemptible. And the tragic part is--her face was on a sudden distraught with pain--the tragic part is that notwithstanding I love you with all my heart.

Ricky Lee quote #204 from Para Kay B

Hindi mo pwedeng mahalin ang isang tao nang hindi mo minamahal ang hilaga silangan timog at kanluran ng kanyang paniniwala. Kapag nagmahal kay dapat mong tanggapin bawat letra ng kanyang birth certificate. Kasama na doon ang kanyang libag utot at bad breath. Pero me limit. Pantay-pantay ang ibinibigay na karapatan sa lahat ng tao upang lumigaya o masaktan o magpakagago pero kapag sumara na ang mga pinto nawasak na ang mga puso nawala na ang mga kaluluwa at ang bilang ay umabot na sa zero goodbye na. Pero the memory of that one great but broken love will still sustain you tama nga na mas matindi ang mga alaala.

Cathleen Schine quote #263 from The Love Letter

Dear GoatHow does one fall in love Do you trip Do you stumble lose your balance and drop to the sidewalk graze your knee graze your heart Do you crash to the stony ground Is there a precipice from which you float over the edge foreverI know Im in love when I see you I know when I long to see you. Not a muscle has moved. Leaves hang unruffled by any breeze. The air is still. I have fallen in love without taking step. When did this happen I havent even blinked.Im on fire. Is that too banal for you Its not you know. Youll see. Its what happens. Its what matters. Im on fire.I no longer eat I forget to eat. Food looks silly to me irrelevant. If I even notice it. But I notice nothing. My thoughts are full and raging a house full of brothers related by blood feuding blood feudsIm in love.Typically stupid choice.I am though Im racked by love as if love were pain.Go ahead. Fuck up your life. Its all wrong and you know it. Wake up. Face it.Theres only one face its all I see awake or asleep.I threw the book out the window last night. I tried to forget. You are all wrong for me I know it but I no longer care for my thoughts unless theyre thoughts of you. When Im close to you in your presence I feel your hair brush my cheek when it does not. I look away from you sometimes. Then I look back.When I tie my shoes when I peel an orange when I drive my car when I lie down each night without you I remainAs everRam

Alexandra Adornetto quote #254 from Halo

Love you Xavier said just before he drifted back to sleep.Love you more I said playfully.Not a chance Xavier said fully awake now. Im bigger I can contain more love.Im smaller therefore my love particles are more compressed which means I can fit more in.Xavier laughed. That argument makes no sense. Overruled.Im just basing it on how much I miss you when youre not around I countered.How can you possibly know how much I miss you he said. Have you got some sort of built-in miss-o-meter that can give us a readingIm a girl of course I have a built-in miss-o-meter.

Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez quote #63 from Love in the Time of Cholera

With her Florentino Ariza learned what he had already experienced many times without realizing it that one can be in love with several people at the same time feel the same sorrow with each and not betray any of them. Alone in the midst of the crowd on the pier he said to himself in a flash of anger My heart has more rooms than a whorehouse.
