François Lelord
“We fall in love or stay in love with people who are unsuitable or who no longer love us and, conversely, we feel no love towards people who would be very suitable. Love is involuntary, that's the problem. Our personal histories prepare us to be attracted to people who unconsciously evoke emotions from our childhood or adolescence.”
François Lelord, Hector and the Secrets of Love

“Lesson no. 17: Happiness is caring about the happiness of those you love.”
François Lelord, Hector and the Search for Happiness

Katie McGarry
“I saw the world in black and white instead of the vibrant colours and shades I knew existed.”
Katie McGarry, Pushing the Limits

Daniel Handler
“The thing with your heart's desire is that your heart doesn't even know what it desires until it turns up.”
Daniel Handler, Why We Broke Up

François Lelord
“And, like poor Phaedra, we fall in love not with who we want to fall in love with, but with one who moves us, and sometimes it is the last person we should fall in love with. Our involuntary choice is not always the right one, and sometimes it is actually the worst one, hence our suffering. And then, of course, there is the completely different situation of the loving people where, over the years, the love they once felt for each other fades and they can't go on. They feel their love dying, but are unable to bring it back to life.”
