- The more I know of the world, the more am I convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!
- Jane Austen (1775 - 1817), Sense and Sensibility, 1811
- One does not love a place the less for having suffered in it, unless it has been all suffering, nothing but suffering.
- Jane Austen (1775 - 1817), Persuasion, 1818
- It’s helpful to imagine your relationship with him or her as a business relationship rather than a personal one. Just as you wouldn’t share that you’re feeling fat, ugly, and depressed with a client or tell her that you’ve just met the love of your life and you’ve never been happier, these thoughts and feelings should be kept to yourself and not shared with your ex. Finally, as in any good business relationship, be honest and prepared to deliver what you promise.
- Julie A., M.A. Ross and Judy Corcoran, Joint Custody with a Jerk: Raising a Child with an Uncooperative Ex, 2011
- When children feel they have to earn our love by what they accomplish, they never feel good about themselves, no matter how much they do, no matter what their age. Indeed, some adults work outrageous hours, make huge salaries, and always strive to accomplish more and yet are never satisfied, no matter what they have achieved. This is because they were never given the free, unconditional love of their parents, the love that is every child’s birthright.
- Julie A., M.A. Ross and Judy Corcoran, Joint Custody with a Jerk: Raising a Child with an Uncooperative Ex, 2011
- Children should feel loved because they exist, not because they’ve behaved in a certain way.
- Julie A., M.A. Ross and Judy Corcoran, Joint Custody with a Jerk: Raising a Child with an Uncooperative Ex, 2011
- It is the caring and sharing that count—love is not prevented by the things and the time that you haven’t shared.
- Claudia Jewett Jarrett, Adopting the Older Child, 1978
- You go to movies to see people you love suffer - that's why you go to the movies. You don't go to see a movie about a guy who already knows he has a wonderful life.
- Joss Whedon, Entertainment Weekly, 08-30-13
- The goal isn’t to make something everyone will love; the goal is to get excited, and make a thing where something wasn’t before.
- Wil Wheaton, WIL WHATON dot NET, 12-07-13
- Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned,
Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned. - William Congreve (1670 - 1729), The Mourning Bride, 1697, act III scene 8
- He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser, sees newly every time he looks at the object beloved, drawing from it with his eyes and his mind those virtues which it possesses.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882), Address on The Method of Nature, 1841
