"Did you know there are thirty-two names for love in one of the Eskimo languages?
 And we just have this one. We are so limited, you have to use the same word for loving people as you do for loving Coke.”
--The Secret Life of Bees

"There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness."
--Friedrich Nietzsche

"To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you."

"The deepest definition of youth is life as yet untouched by tragedy."
--Alfred North Whitehead

A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.
--Mark Twain

One's first love is always perfect until one meets one's second love.

"No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible."

"Don't believe in miracles - depend on them."
 -- Laurence J. Peter

"I have this theory that the more important and intimate the emotion, the fewer words are required to express it.
For instance, in dating. ‘Will you go out with me?’ Six words. ‘I think I care for you.’ Five words. ‘You matter
to me.’ Four words. ‘I love you.’ Three words. ‘Marry me.’ Two words. So what’s left? What’s the one most important and intimate word you can ever say to somebody? It’s ‘goodbye.’
--J. Michael Straczynski

"You can't save people, you can only love them."

"Every now and then, those three little words slip out. No, not "I love you." And no, not "I hate you." But I miss you. And for an instant, I can't stand myself. Because I know you never thought about me half as much as I thought about you. Because I can't stop thinking about you. I can't get you out of my head; from under my skin."

"Fear isn't so difficult to understand. After all, weren't we all frightened as children? Nothing has changed since Little Red Riding Hood faced the big bad wolf. What frightens us today is exactly the same sort of thing that frightened us yesterday. It's just a different wolf. This fright complex is rooted in every individual."

"I'm here, and I love you. I have always loved you, and I will always love you. I was thinking of you, seeing your face in my mind, every second that I was away. When I told you that I didn't want you, it was the blackest kind of blasphemy."
--Edward Cullen

"Maybe sometimes it's a good thing to stumble, because there's a better way to stand. Maybe we need to cry sometimes, because laughter cannot hide the worst. And maybe that's why we get hurt, for us to pass on the lesson and teach someone else."

"Sometimes you know in your heart you love someone, but you have to go away before your head can figure it out."
--Sharon Creech

"the only way to find true happiness is to risk being completely cut open."

"Sex can be fun when you're old enough, which none of you are. I should know. When you lose it to some guy named Junior with bad breath in the back of a van at a gun's n roses concert, you're going to wish you had listened to your mother when she said, "They're not going to want to buy the whole friggin ice cream truck when you're handing out the popsicles for free!"

"Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory."

"All I wanted was for him to hug me. To tell me that everything was going to be okay. To be my rock. He had always been there for me. Whenever I screwed up or everything around me seemed to be falling apart, he had made it better. But he couldn't make this better, because this time my screwup had hurt him. I had deprived myself of my one true comfort in life, and the realization gouged my heart out."
--Kate Brian

"Paranoia is a disease unto itself and may I add, the person standing next to you, may not be who they appear to be, so take precaution. A mind is a terrible thing to waste, this is true, any young person has fallen prey, to the substances that alter the perspective of any right thinking individual. The problem with the youth today is because of their inexperience with the world, they cannot attempt to grasp the ideals, set forth by myself and those who preceeded me. But, as history has shown, they will come around and embrace our philosophies and become model citizens in their own right. God bless this great nation."
