“And of course I didn't know who would marry me now that I'd been where I had been. I didn't know at all.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

“Here I love you.
Here I love you and the horizon hides you in vain.
I love you still among these cold things.
Sometimes my kisses go on those heavy vessels
that cross the sea towards no arrival.
I see myself forgotten like those old anchors.”
― Pablo Neruda, The Poetry of Pablo Neruda

“Love isn't something natural. Rather it requires discipline, concentration, patience, faith, and the overcoming of narcissism. It isn't a feeling, it is a practice.”
― Fromm, Eric, The Art of Loving

“If you expect nothing from somebody you are never disappointed.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
