“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect—you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break—her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.”
― Bob Marley

“The fruit of empty hopes is more bitter than the saddest truth.”
― Angel Wagenstein, Isaac's Torah: A Novel

“There is no greater sorrow than to recall in misery the time when we were happy.”
― Dante Alighieri

“I've thought a lot about it. The truth is, sometimes too much can happen in a relationship, and then there's nothing anyone can do or say. It's broken.”
― Gabrielle Zevin, In the Age of Love and Chocolate
