You like someone who can't like you back because unrequited love can be survived in a way that once-requited love cannot. - John Green
Their silence comfortable. Something unfolding. But what? Not love, which wrenched and wounded. Not love, which came only once. - Annie Proulx
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares. - Henri Nouwen
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. -Ralph Waldo Emerson
The past was always there, lived inside of you, and it helped to make you who you were. But it had to be placed in perspective. The past could not dominate the future. - Barbara Taylor Bradford
Sometimes two people will regard each other over a gulf too wide to ever be bridged, and know immediately what could have happened, and that it never will. - Roger Abert
The headiest loves were the loves that couldn't be. - Anna Godbersen
Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square hole. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. - Apple Computer Inc.
Life was life. It happened. You never knew what was going to come at you. Or how you could defend yourself. - Barbara Taylor Bradford
I'm an observer. I read about life. I research life. I find a corner in a room and melt into it. I can become invisible. It's an art, and I am a wonderful practitioner. - Christine Feehan
Her life was beginning to make sense again, although she couldn’t say she was enjoying it. But her mind was clear, and her heart was not constantly as heavy. Only when she thought about him. But she knew that in time, she’d survive it. She had done it before and would again. Eventually the heart repairs. - Danielle Steel
Romance is the glamour which turns the dust of everyday life into a golden haze. - Elinor Glyn
One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter. - James Earl Jones
Handle your scandal. - Krissie Williams
Here we are, trapped in the amber of the moment. There is no why. - Kurt Vonnegut
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that
something else is more important than fear. - Meg Cabot
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. - Frank Herbert
When we read a story, we inhabit it. The covers of the book are like a roof and four walls. What is to happen next will take place within the four walls of the story. And this is possible because the story's voice makes everything its own. - John Berg
Compiler's Note: If you have been following my blog, you will realize this post is different than the others. To put it simply, I just liked these random quotes and I wanted to put them in my blog, but I didn't see the necessity of a separate post for each of these authors. So I just compiled them altogether.
