Let her remain where she is. A constellation away.

I had discovered that there was something more painful than falling in love with someone who hasn’t fallen for you; hurting that person-hurting him and not being able to do anything about it.

Which is worse? Loving someone and not being able to be with them or not loving someone and having to be with them.

I won’t be a substitute for what you cannot have. Especially not if it is my sister’s shadow you mean to place me in.

I’ve been waiting for you,” he murmured.Aphrodite slowly walked across the balcony, as her mind raced, trying to think of the perfect thing to say in return. All of a sudden a thought came to...

Not really.

Soul connections are not often found and are worth every bit of fight left in you to keep.

The effect on Lucy was not bad, for the faint seemed to merge subtly into the narcotic sleep. It was with a feeling of personal pride that I could see a faint tinge of colour...

I miss you in waves and tonight I’m drowning. You left me fending for my life and it feels like you’re the only one who can bring me back to the shore alive.

Graham’s thoughts of me were not entirely those of a frozen indifference, after all. I believe in that goodly mansion, his heart, he kept one little place under the skylights where Lucy might have entertainment,...

It was about time she woke up to reality and realized that there was more to being a vampire than just feeding from blood.

But that afternoon he asked himself, with his infinite capacity for illusion, if such pitiless indifference might not be a subterfuge for hiding the torments of love.

If I said I was madly in love with you you’d know I was lying.

Its been six weeks,” he murmured. “Six weeks I’ve wanted you. I know how you move, and how the sunlight makes a shadow on the curve of your cheek, and the shape of your ear.”...

There were books about how to be gay; he’d seen them in stores and libraries. Some of them even had diagrams. But there weren’t any diagrams about how to fall in love with your best...

He thought that fat boys were probably only allowed to love pretty girls inside. If he told anyone how he felt (not that he had anyone to tell), that person would probably laugh until he...

I have to admit, an unrequited love is so much better than a real one. I mean, it’s perfect… As long as something is never even started, you never have to worry about it ending....

Unrequited love is a ridiculous state, and it makes those in it behave ridiculously.

Because what’s worse than knowing you want something, besides knowing you can never have it?

She wanted to remind him, whether his family was there or not. She wanted. And wanted. And endured in her wanting: the damp seat, the dry chicken, more champagne, the headache the champagne brought, the...

No matter how bleak, there is still chance of love in hatred but none in indifference

You wanted a wife but I wasstill a girl.

She personified her name in everything she did. Even when we would row, her words were deftly chosen and spoken rather like an intricate dance. And I so loved to dance with her.

…Usually i’d sit back and just enjoy the view for what it was because it’s not often you come across something so ridiculously out of place, a girl like you, on the subway, it’s like...

You have never loved me as I love you–never–never! Yours is not a passionate heart–your heart does not burn in a flame! You are, upon the whole, a sort of fay, or sprite– not a...

Though you are three times more beautiful than angels,Though you are the sister of the river willows,I will kill you with my singing,Without spilling your blood on the ground.Not touching you with my hand,Not giving...

What I wanted to preserve was the turbulent gasp in his voice which lingered with me for days afterward and told me that, if I could have him like this in my dreams every night...

He had placed the life of every one of his men before his own, and if that wasn’t the sign of a truly great leader, then he didn’t know what was.

Limerence is an obsessive, unrequited love. It is actually a disorder. A disease if you will.

We’re cool,” I say calmly, although I feel something else. I feel… sad. Like I’ve lost something I never quite had.

What you do with your heartbreak is yours, never feel the need to explain to people why things ended the way it did; it’s not for the world to own.

Which is when I decided I would never love anyone again because you just felt like an idiot when you put love out there and it didn’t come back your way.

I loved her the moment I laid eyes on her.She blinked – her thoughts at the time were of anotherI could not win her heart20 years and many others who did.I would have been there,any...

Because, if you could love someone, and keep loving them, without being loved back . . . then that love had to be real. It hurt too much to be anything else.

Someday you’re gonna realize that no one on this earth will ever love you the way I do. You’ll wish you’d said the words, wish you’d had this moment back. The truth is whether you...

I fell for you and I fell hard. You bruised my knees and my heart to the point where I will do everything in my power never to fall for anyone again. It’s safer to...

Your dress is thin, you have been dancing, you are heated.” “Always preaching,” retorted she; “always coddling and admonishing.” The answer Dr. John would have given did not come; that his heart was hurt became...

For a full two hours, he stood at that door, a cloud of uncertainty ruling his mind. Damian felt like his heart was about to burst. Could she love him? Was it really true?

I just stood there, like a grain of sand amongst amillion others on a beach.

Am I feeling anything? Yeah. I’m feeling some f’ing sh**, Jen.

Even before you touched me, I belonged to you; all you had to do was look at me.

Stephen had spared no expense in making himself more unhappy, his own position as a rejected lover clearer.

Not today. Instead of Wendy, I found myself thinking of Annie Ross and realizing I’d developed a small but powerful crush on her. The fact that nothing could come of it—she had to be ten...

The most confused you will ever get is when you try to convince your heart and spirit of something your mind knows is a lie.

She had a destiny, and it was wonderful, every girl’s dream. Like Sleeping Beauty, awoken from a deep sleep by a charming vampire, Lena would have her very own fairy tale.

I didn’t call you because I’m tired of you only wanting me around when you need something. I’m tired of watching you be in love with someone else – someone, incidentally, who will never love...

You love him because this is what you do. Over and over again. You knit yourself right up into these men’s lives, these men who will never ever be able to love you back, and...

That thing that Hamlet says – “there is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so”. Not quite true if you are stuck under a grand piano, not quite true for genocide, but...

Its not the love that hurts but the scented memories of anticipated dreams of a future together

Shut up…let me tell you, LET ME. Every time I look at your face or even remember it, it wrecks me. And the way you are with me and you’re just fun and you shit...
