“Two married partners do not just live with each other, they live in each other, neurologically speaking.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Wise Mating: A Treatise on Monogamy

“Feminist narrative theory notes that for most of literary history there's been an imbalance between men's and women's stories. Male characters go out into a world of infinite possibilities. Female characters either get married or die. This makes enlightened female readers such as ourselves pissed off. But however much we deconstruct the narrative, however vigilantly we plow and apply the theory and read with our skeptical, over-educated eyes, still some lessons are hard to fully internalize, and the dream of happily-ever-after love, in real life and in literature, dies hardest of all.”
― Laurie Frankel, The Atlas of Love

“True love is when you relish the orange she eats.”
― Tapan Ghosh, Faceless The Only Way Out

“Love from novels isn't true love: it ends where it should begin. True love, deep love, grows up with time, throughout days of dullness and days of storms. It leaves in one's heart a rainbow of tenderness and forgiveness which illuminates forever the beloved one.”
― Gabrielle Dubois
