Shivangi’s Quotes

“Anyone can be fucking fancied. It is a far greater thing to be loved.”
― Dolly Alderton, Everything I Know About Love

“I once heard a theory about the first relationship that occurs after a big relationship ends. It’s called the 90/10 rule. The theory goes: whatever the crucial 10 per cent is that was missing from your partner who was otherwise totally right for you is the thing you look for in the following person. That missing 10 per cent becomes such a fixation that, when you do find someone who has it, you ignore the fact they don’t have the other 90 per cent that the previous partner had.”
― Dolly Alderton, Good Material

“She was merely responding to the violent love you feel for an ideal before you abandon it, like the violent love you feel for a person before you leave him.”
― Devika Rege, Quarterlife

“I’m sorry that I loved you so much more than I liked myself, that must have been a lot to carry. I’m sorry I didn’t take care of you the way you took care of me. And I’m sorry I didn’t take care of myself, either. I need to work on it. I’m pleased that our break-up taught me that. I’m sorry I went so mental.”
― Dolly Alderton, Good Material

“There are two rumors about breaking up that I feel might be helpful to address here.
One is that breakups should be clean. The other is that you should only breakup when you're not in love.
The truth is, breakups are usually messy, the way people are messy, the way life is often messy. I's okay for a breakup to feel like a disaster. It doesn't feel okay, but I assure you it is okay.
It's also true that you can breakup with someone you still love. Because those two things are not distinct territories: love and not loving anymore.”
― Mariko Tamaki, Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me
