The relentlessness with which these women tried to repair their relationships was foreign to me, I didn’t understand why they didn’t simply give up.
~ Vanessa Diffenbaugh
He noticed that he felt calmer now she was here, still in that grey dress with her dowdy hat, the air around her redolent with orchid oil. Perhaps all women in England had this effect. Perhaps they all smelled of flowers and exuded a calm and measured purpose. He couldn’t remember.
~ Sara Sheridan
Men know that most women want to have an emotional connection with someone before they sleep with them. Men know that a lot of women think it's romantic to be friends first, and then the friendship blossoms into a relationship. Men know that they have to jump through all these hoops first, before they can get laid. And that's really all romance and courtship is to a man: hoops he has to jump through to get laid.
~ Oliver Markus
Jane, will you marry me?Yes sir.A poor blind man, whom you will have to lead about by the hand?Yes, sir.A crippled man, twenty years older older than you, whom you will have to wait on?Yes, sir.Truly, Jane?Most truly, sir.
~ Charlotte Brontë
But trust me, men are never worth it. Behind every great man is a woman who gave up on greatness and tied herself into an apron. Romance is for saps, Abbie. You’re sharp and you’ve got pluck. Don’t waste it.
~ William Ritter
If you want to impress a lady, respect her, because respect is an impressive act itself
~ Nitin Yaduvanshi
Every woman feels. It just takes the right man to make things combust.
~ Barbara Delinsky
Being friends is different from being lovers. It’s a sea change.

Our surroundings fade and we exist in unison, two people who once shared cups of coffee, unprecedentedly ourselves in a changing world.
~ Caroline George
I write our names on the page.What of it, if the paper will be burned?I write our names in the sand.What of it, if the shore will be washed by waves?I write our names on trees that will be cutand benches that will be painted,but what of it?I will keep on writing our namesbecause in this world of ephemera, You and I are the only constant.

He raised himself on his hands and looked at Irene's face: the nudity of that feminine body had risen into her face, the body had reabsorbed it, as nature reabsorbs forsaken gardens.
~ Jean-Paul Sartre
Her face was very beautiful, he thought. He hadn't been sure before, but he was now. The mind that lived behind it made it beautiful, the same way that the flame inside a lantern makes the lantern beautiful.
~ Philip Reeve
Always carry what is beautiful in your heart.
~ Will Advise
Beauty is irrelevant to human life, especially in a relationship. What you today perceive as beautiful and special, over time, becomes not so special. That’s how the human brain works. It is not beauty that keeps a relationship alive, it is attachment. Without attachment, a naked body is merely a lifeless sex toy.
~ Abhijit Naskar
Beauty is an illusion, created by Mother Nature to drive the human species in the path of reproduction. In reality, beauty is irrelevant to human life, especially in a relationship. What you today perceive as beautiful and special, over time, becomes not so special. That’s how the human brain works. It is not beauty that keeps a relationship alive, it is attachment. Without attachment, a naked body is merely a lifeless sex toy.
It is not beauty that keeps a relationship alive, it is attachment. Without attachment, a naked body is merely a lifeless sex toy.
At the end of the day…we are anchoring into the peaceful lagoon, smiling at the majestic sun and its flirting rays, slowly slipping into the glittering ballroom of immense night skies, sipping on the platinum moon liquor under the blues of rippling waves kissing my golden foot hanging over the board of gently rocking boat, and diving into the bed of galaxies whispering magical stories of their eternal lives connecting souls…till the dawn…
~ Oksana Rus
Beauty is irrelevant to human life, especially in a relationship.
Romance and romantic are different. Death, itself, can be romantic. Nature and a destructive snowstorm can be romantic. Lovers in love but giving that up can also be romantic. There is something aesthetically romantic in beauty itself. And beauty can even be pain. Therefore, pain is romantic, especially when the sufferer does so for love.
~ R.b. O'brien
You can't tell what's in a person's heart until you truly Know them.

The back barn door opened, and in walked a vision in a billowing green dress. As she led in her mare, Mr. McBride’s voice faded away as Tom’s total attention turned to the girl. About twenty-one or two, Tom guessed. Not too tall, nor short. Beautiful heart-shaped face decorated with rosy cheeks and light freckles. Long auburn hair tied back in a ponytail. Perfectly set green eyes. Full-bosomed and hourglass shaped. Breathtaking.
~ C.g. Faulkner
Her wavy, shoulder-length hair was the colour of polished mahogany.
~ William Hjortsberg
I was examining the perfumed, coloured candles guaranteed to bring good fortune with continued use when a lovely mocha-skinned girl came in from the back room and stood behind the counter. She wore a white smock over her dress and looked about nineteen or twenty. Her wavy, shoulder-length hair was the colour of polished mahogany. A number of thin, silver hoops jingled on her fine-boned wrist. May I help you? she asked. Just beneath her carefully modulated diction lingered the melodic calypso lilt of the Caribbean.
This is the sacred secret of love. Love a person for their heart and only their heart, and you will be rewarded with the best unconditional love in return. If you ignore the heart and focus just on a person’s outer beauty, love will ignore you. Love a person for only the beauty found in their heart, and that beautiful heart will always be beautiful to you.
He was beautiful in a way that pierced the heart. He was beautiful in the way the universe had been made, from darkness and silence into light and song.

Listen to the sunset...see its pretty hue... When you see it, think of me...and I'll think of you...
I romanticized him until he was the perfect being. A soul so beautiful, but so immensely evil too.
~ Dominic Riccitello
Man only has eyes to beauty when it costs them the inevitability of losing.
~ J.m. Campos
Together, we form a necessary paradox; not a senseless contradiction.
~ Criss Jami
There is nothing as delicate, as stunning, and as vulnerable as the heart.
~ Jacquelyn Nicole Davis
Feelings trap us in the self, Tony dear. Doing a thing because you feel wonderful about it—even a work of charity—is in the end a selfish act. We perform the work not to feel wonderful but to know and love the other. It's the same with your romance. You may not feel your love, but God is still your loved one, your other.
~ Tony Hendra
If you are longing for something more than the hit-and-run relationship cycle, something beautiful and meaningful in your life, then I'm going to lay it on the line. You must let go of the captain's position in your life and trust Him. You must give up the little you're hanging on to now to gain something infinitely greater. You must let go of the helm and let Him lead.
~ Eric Ludy
Reaffirm your love for one another and let grow.
~ Lailah Gifty Akita
There is love in every heart.
Love is a sacred entity.
We are brothers and sisters. We are a sacred family.
Love is the ecstasy of life.
The bond of two souls is divine.
I never knew the extent of God’s greatness until I hang on to His glorious hope.
