    Deb Caletti
    “You've got to have someone who loves your body. Who doesn't define you, but sees you. Who loves what he sees. Who you don't have to struggle to be good enough for.”
    Deb Caletti, The Secret Life of Prince Charming

    Deb Caletti
    “The most basic and somehow forgettable thing is this: Love is not pain. Love is goodness. And real love--it's less shiny than solid and simple.”
    Deb Caletti, The Secret Life of Prince Charming

    Deb Caletti
    “It took me years to figure out that upset was upset, and tumultuousness was not the same thing as passion. Love isn't drama.”
    Deb Caletti, The Secret Life of Prince Charming

    Deb Caletti
    “Sometimes you think you've found love, when it's really just one of those objects that are shiny in a certain light--a trophy, say, or a ring, or a diamond, even. Glass shards, maybe. You've got to be careful, you do. The shine can blind you. The edges can cut you in way you never imagined. It is up to you to allow that or not.”
    Deb Caletti, The Secret Life of Prince Charming

    Deb Caletti
    “And pity--people who inspire it in you are actually very powerful people. To get someone else to take care of you, to feel sorry for you--that takes a lot of strength, smarts, manipulation. Very powerful people.”
    Deb Caletti, The Secret Life of Prince Charming

    “People are secretive when they have secrets.”
    Deb Caletti, The Secret Life of Prince Charming

  • #7
    Deb Caletti
    “At the root of every large struggle in life is the need to be honest about something that we do not feel we can be honest about. We lie to ourselves or other people because the truth might require action on our part, and action requires courage. We say we “don’t know” what is wrong, when we do know what is wrong; we just wish we didn’t.

    Art lets us tell the truth, but even art can be something to hide behind.”
    Deb Caletti, The Secret Life of Prince Charming

    Deb Caletti, The Secret Life of Prince Charming

  • #9
    Deb Caletti
    “I had always had a little problem looking out for myself in love. I was afraid people would leave me. So I sort of clung and did everything possible to keep someone around. I didn't have a hard talk with myself about who I was keeping around. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. I clung to people like human life preservers. I thought i'd die if someone left me. Its ironic because now I'm the one who's leaving.”
    Deb Caletti, The Secret Life of Prince Charming

    Deb Caletti
    “But what I wanted back had never really been there. He was a temporary illusion, a mirage of water after walking in the desert. I had made him up. And he could have killed me. You've got to stop the ride sometimes. Stop it and get off.”
    Deb Caletti, The Secret Life of Prince Charming

    Deb Caletti
    “Too often in my life, love has been defined as "humiliation with occasional roses".”
    Deb Caletti, The Secret Life of Prince Charming

  • #12
    Deb Caletti
    “Love is ease, love is comfort, love is support and respect. Love is not punishing or controlling. Love lets you grow and breathe. Love's passion is only good passion -- swirling-leaves-on-a-fall-day passion, a-sky-full-of-magnificent-stars passion -- not angst and anxiety. Love is not hurt and harm. Love is never unsafe. Love is sleeping like puzzle pieces. It's your own garden you protect; it's a field of wildflowers you move about in both freely and together.”
    Deb Caletti, The Secret Life of Prince Charming

    “When in a relationship, a real man doesn't make his woman jealous of others, he makes others jealous of his woman.”

    Daria Snadowsky
    “Please don’t hate you??!! I hate that I love you. Loving you made me waste a year of my life. Loving
    you made me be passionate about nothing but you. Loving you made me take risks I never would have
    otherwise. Loving you made me give it up to you. Loving you made me neglect my parents and Amy.
    Loving you made me not care that my grandma just died. Loving you made me turn out bitter and
    hopeless like her. Loving you made me hate myself for being dumped by you. Loving you made me
    deluded, irrational, inconsiderate, and a liar. And because I love you, you’re always going to haunt me.”
    Daria Snadowsky, Anatomy of a Boyfriend

    Greg Behrendt
    “If he’s not calling you, it’s because you are not on his mind. If he creates expectations for you, and then doesn’t follow through on little things, he will do same for big things. Be aware of this and realize that he’s okay with disappointing you. Don’t be with someone who doesn’t do what they say they’re going to do. If he’s choosing not to make a simple effort that would put you at ease and bring harmony to a recurring fight, then he doesn’t respect your feelings and needs. “Busy” is another word for “asshole.” “Asshole” is another word for the guy you’re dating. You deserve a fcking phone call.”
    Greg Behrendt

  • #21
    Greg Behrendt
    “I'm about to make a wild, extreme and severe relationship rule: the word busy is a load of crap and is most often used by assholes. The word "busy" is the relationship Weapon of Mass Destruction. It seems like a good excuse, but in fact in every silo you uncover, all you're going to find is a man who didn't care enough to call. Remember men are never to busy to get what they want.”
    Greg Behrendt

    Greg Behrendt
    “Here's something else to think about: calling when you say you're going to is the very first brick in the house you are building of love and trust. If he can't lay this one stupid brick down, you ain't never gonna have a house baby, and it's cold outside.”
    Greg Behrendt, He's Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys

    Greg Behrendt
    “Let’s start with this statistic: You are delicious. Be brave, my sweet. I know you can get lonely. I know you can crave companionship and sex and love so badly that it physically hurts. But I truly believe that the only way you can find out that there’s something better out there is to first believe there’s something better out there. What other choice is there?”
    Greg Behrendt, He's Just Not That Into You

    D. Ivan Young
    “Your relationship may be "Breaking Up," but you won't be "Breaking Down." If anything your correcting a mistake that was hurting four people, you and the person your with, not to mention the two people who you were destined to meet.”
    D. Ivan Young, Break Up, Don't Break Down

    Rachel Machacek
    “I believe with all my heart that the cliches are true, that we are our own best friends and best company, and that if you're not right for yourself, it's impossible to be right for anyone.”
    Rachel Machacek, The Science of Single: One Woman's Grand Experiment in Modern Dating, Creating Chemistry, and Finding Love

  • #26
    “There’s nothing like that feeling of waiting for a guy. It’s the loneliest feeling in the world. Holding that cell phone in your hand as you take out the trash, use the bathroom, change the litter box. Fearful that the one second you aren’t looking will be when they call. Pathetic. And something I have done as recently as last week.”
    Hilary Winston, My Boyfriend Wrote a Book About Me

  • #27
    Rachel Machacek
    “I've found that when you're wrapped up in the process of dating and want so badly to have something work out with someone -anyone- it's easy to forget that your choices aren't limited to one person or the other. There's also the choice I always forget about: To not choose anyone in order to keep myself open to someone who IS right for me.”
    Rachel Machacek, The Science of Single: One Woman's Grand Experiment in Modern Dating, Creating Chemistry, and Finding Love

  • #28
    “This worked out perfectly for me in college, because what nineteen-year-old Virginia boy doesn't want a wide-hipped, sarcastic Greek girl with short hair that's permed on top? What's that you say? None of them want that? You are correct.”
    Tina Fey, Bossypants

  • #29
    Rachel Machacek
    “The formula I've figured out: Stop being so damn picky and let go of the mental image of an ideal; talk to more strangers, because it builds confidence and helps you feel more connected; be open to every opportunity, and when you do meet someone you like, keep dating around. And there's the mother of all lessons-the one I'm still working on: follow your instincts and even if you're wrong about him (or her), you'll know better for the next time.”
    Rachel Machacek, The Science of Single: One Woman's Grand Experiment in Modern Dating, Creating Chemistry, and Finding Love

    “The minute I stopped trying to find the right girl, and started trying to become the right guy...the girl came.”
    Jonathan Antin

  • #31
    Greg Behrendt
    “You picked a lemon, throw it away lemonade is overrated. Freaks should remain at the circus, not in your apartment. You already have one asshole. You don’t need another. Make a space in your life for the glorious things you deserve. Have faith.”
    Greg Behrendt , He's Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys
