Delusional Love Quotes

“But the most important thing I know is that I want the possibility of you more than the reality of [her].”
― Caroline Kepnes, You

“I was deluded, and I knew it. Worse: my love for Pippa was muddied-up below the waterline with my mother, with my mother's death, with losing my mother and not being able to get her back. All that blind, infantile hunger to save and be saved, to repeat the past and make it different, had somehow attached itself, ravenously, to her. There was an instability in it, a sickness. I was seeing things that weren't there. I was only one step away from some trailer park loner stalking a girl he'd spotted in the mall. For the truth of it was: Pippa and I saw each other maybe twice a year; we e-mailed and texted, though with no great regularity; when she was in town we loaned each other books and went to the movies; we were friends; nothing more. My hopes for a relationship with her were wholly unreal, whereas my ongoing misery, and frustration, were an all-too-horrible reality. Was groundless, hopeless, unrequited obsession any way to waste the rest of my life?”
― Donna Tartt , The Goldfinch

“Some people seem to have a vested interest in their delusion. - On Delusion”
― Lamine Pearlheart, To Life from the Shadows

“Niente è facile. Non lo è mai. Se così non fosse sarebbe tutto più semplice: niente dolore, niente delusione, niente solitudine. No, nulla di tutto questo è possibile, perché niente di ciò che realmente conta può essere facile. La gioia nasce dal sacrificio, dalle ginocchia sbucciate, dai cuori infranti. Perché ciò che ci è stato inculcato da bambini non può essere vero: non ci sono favole, non ci sono eroi o grandi imprese, c'è la determinazione di persone semplici che non si arrendono mai!”
― Fabio Volo

“The kind of love I seek is a folie a deux.”
― J. Andrew Schrecker, Insomniacs, We

“We propose a general division of delusions;   “self deceptions of common feats" (like mysticism, erotomania, identity delusions, possession delusions, grandiose delusions) and "self deception of shield feats" (delusions of jealousy, delusions of reference as being slandered, persecution as being poisoned).  The theory of the shield feats can be the connecting piece between self deception and delusions, because although always delusions of grandiosity could easily be understood as self deception to enjoy a more pleasant world, the frequency of negative delusions seems to destroy this simplistic hypothesis. However , when considering the shield feats, then it is the link that connects the intuitive hypothesis of self-deception with psychosis , which happens to be understood as a continuum of the same phenomenon”
― Martín Ross, THE SHIELD FEATS THEORY: a different hypothesis concerning the etiology of delusions and other disorders.
