Love Ending Quotes

“I know he is afraid of that desert which would be around him if our love were to end, but he can't realize that I feel exactly the same. What he says aloud I say to myself silently and write it here. What can one build in the desert? Sometimes after a day when we have made love many times, I wonder whether it isn't possible to come to an end of sex, and I know that he is wondering too and is afraid of that point where the desert begins. What do we do in the desert if we lose each other? How does one go on living after that?”
― Graham Greene, The End of the Affair

“Maybe she has a wrinkle on her face in just the right place and I find it attractive. Maybe she says all of her statements as questions and I find that endearing. Maybe she swallows instead of spits or maybe I was just looking for a way to kill time with someone new over the next five years. The reasons why don’t matter.”
― Garry Crystal, The Paris Quartet : Short Stories For the End of the World

“Cette douleur d'avoir perdu mon premier amour
Ce soulagement de ne plus être la prisonnière
Ce constat: l'amour n'est qu'un leurre”
― Lily Rause, Le jaune des jonquilles
