“I think about you. But I don't say it anymore.”
― Marguerite Duras, Hiroshima mon amour

“I think anyone who opened their heart enough to love without restraint and subsequently were devastated by loss knows that in that moment you are forever changed; a apart of you is no longer whole. Some will never again love with that level of abandon where life is perceived as innocent and the threat of loss seems implausible. Love and loss, therefore, are linked.”
― Donna Lynn Hope

“I only know two things in life for certain: I know I love her and I know when her memory of our time together fades, I’ll still feel exactly the same as I do today. Time is irrelevant, as I once said to her. And I’m happy wasting every second of it on her.”
― Kelly Moran, Return to Me

“I do think that men can forget a lost love quickly. I know that women would find it much harder.”
― Jane Austen, Persuasion
