When you love something, you have to make sure it loves you back, or you’ll bring about no end of trouble chasing it.

…and said with the softness of repressed violence, ‘I am not one to stick his neck out; it is a bit of a reach. I was waiting for the smallest sign that you could love...

If you are ready to cry..to feel the pain..to take the risk? You are ready for love

The problem with me is that I cannot focus when she is on my mind. I can’t. I probably will make a mistake when writing that paper and will start writing everything I feel about...

I think of the quietness of Julian’s voice as he said I love you, the steadiness of his rib cage rising and falling against my back, as we sleep.I love you, Julian. But the words...

Apakah kau pernah menunggu seseorang yang kau sukai, berharap dia memperhatikanmu? Berharap suatu hari nanti, dia menyadari bahwa ada seseorang yang menyukainya. Menyukainya diam-diam, sampai akhirnya menyadari bahwa selama ini orang yang disukainya menyayangi orang...

A person doesn’t know true hurt and suffering until they’ve felt the pain of falling in love with someone whose affections lie elsewhere.

For so long, it was just my secret. It burned inside me, and I felt like I was carrying something important, something that made me who I was and made me different from everybody else....

All these years I’ve had a story in my mind, the story about us that never really existed. And because of that story, I’ve kept you framed up on the wall in a little box...

But the years came and went without bringing the careless boy; and when they met again Wendy was a married woman, and Peter was no more to her than a little dust in the box...

And my desire,’ he said, ‘is a desire that is as long as a year; but it is love given to an echo, the spending of grief on a wave, a lonely fight with a...

Certainly no one has ever died of an unrequited passion—it’s usually the ones that are requited that get people in trouble.

…what is the meaning of La Belle Dame Sans Merci? – have you never been enthralled? enchantment that is unrequited desolates the soul…

She hardly ever thought of him. He had worn a place for himself in some corner of her heart, as a sea shell, always boring against the rock, might do. The making of the place...

Out of her favour, where I am in love.

I dream of you every day. I make up scenarios where everything is forgiven, where everything is fixed. Deep down I know our situation is unfixable, and even worse – you don’t want it. But...

Everything was Amelia’s fault. He hadn’t done anything wrong and neither had Kaitlin, but they were the ones paying the price and for what? To bring back a girl that he hated and wished he...

I get what it’s like to want something, but to try and force yourself to really believe that you don’t.

Unreturned love is like trying to make a sandwich with one slice of bread. Don’t stress—fold it in half and love yourself.

Olivia sat back and propped her half-boots on the table. ‘So far it’s working. He has to return to me because I have his sister hostage.’ She briefly put her fingertips to her lips. ‘Did...

I love her passionately with a morbid intensity; madly as one can only love a woman who never responds to our love with anything but an eternally uniform, eternally calm, stony smile.

She doesn’t belong to me. She belongs only to herself.

My heart is not brave or big. It is not cruel either. It is not strong at all. I keep it within this iron cage for a reason. Breathe on it wrong and I will...

Sometimes I knew in all my mind and heard why I had done what I had done, and I welcomed the sacrifice. But there were times too when I lived in a desert and felt...

His hands are saying that he wants to hold her. His feet are saying that he wants to chase after her… He’s probably forgotten that I’m here, beside him

I realised that one might love him secretly with no hope of encouragement, which can be very enjoyable for the young or inexperienced.

…and her dreams that didn’t happen, that couldn’t have happened because she’d pinned them on somebody too broken and unattainable to love her back.

You loved me-then what right had you to leave me? What right-answer me-for the poor fancy you felt for Linton? Because misery and degradation, and death, and nothing that God or Satan could inflict would...

Unrequited love is so boring. Weeping under a blue-black sky is for suckers or maniacs.

I wanted so terribly to be good to him.

He could remember all about it now; the pitiful figure he must have cut; the absurd way in which he had gone and done the very thing he had so often agreed with himself in...

The thought of her gave me such a continual anguish that I could no more forget her than an aching tooth. It was involuntary, hopeless, compulsive. For years she had been the first thing I...

Love Jo all your days, if you choose, but don’t let it spoil you, for it’s wicked to throw away so many good gifts because you can’t have the one you want.
