“The great thing about unrequited love is it's the only kind that lasts.”
― Allison Pearson, I Don't Know How She Does It

“If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
That strain again! it had a dying fall:
O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour! Enough; no more:
'Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
O spirit of love! how quick and fresh art thou,
That, notwithstanding thy capacity
Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there,
Of what validity and pitch soe'er,
But falls into abatement and low price,
Even in a minute: so full of shapes is fancy
That it alone is high fantastical.”
― William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night

“Unrequited love is all right in books and things, but in real life, it completely sucks”
― Meg Cabot, Haunted

“You like someone who can’t like you back because unrequited love can be survived in a way that once-requited love cannot.”
― David Levithan, Will Grayson, Will Grayson
