-Cristina Yang, Grey's Anatomy

2011-11-08T21:35:00.001-08:00

There is a reason I said I'd be happy alone. It wasn't because I thought I would be happy alone. It was because I thought if I loved someone and then it fell apart, I might not make it. It's easier to be alone. Because what if you learn that you need love? And then you don't have it. What if you like it? And lean on it? What if you shape your life around it? And then it falls apart? Can you even survive that kind of pain? Losing love is like organ damage. It's like dying. The only difference is, death ends. This? It could go on forever . . .

-Grey's Anatomy

why would you still hold on if in the first place you know that things will never end up perfectly?

What did it feel like, I wondered , to be kissed like that right out in public? Not like some passionate tongue- wrestling thing, just a kiss to declare : We are each other's. I'd never been kissed like that. No one had declared me his, not for the whole world to see, anyway.

"He was not my boyfriend. On the other hand, he wasn't just a friend either. Instead our relationship was elastic, stretching between those 2 extremes depending on who else was around & other varying factors. This was exactly what I wanted, as COMMITMENTS had NEVER REALLY BEEN MY THING. It wasn't like it was hard either. The only trick was never giving more than you were willing to lose."

-Lock and Key, Sarah

"If you saw him, you couldn't see him loving anyone like he does her, a boy who never has anything but a smile on his face when he's talking to her and how there was no place he would rather be.

If you saw her, you would see a girl whose heart melts with the sound of his voice, and smile on his face, a girl who wouldn't love any other like him, no one can take his place.

If you saw them, you would see two people who couldn't be any happier just being next to each other, two people in love, two people not thinking of another.

If you knew him, you would know, he's scared of being with her, he's afraid of feelings he can't show.

If you knew her, you would know, she doesn't let that stand in her way, she hangs on for the both of them, no matter what he may say.

If you knew them, you would know, they are so far apart, losing sight of how they feel, two people drifting from the heart.

And, If you knew love, you would see, those two are right for each other, those two are meant to be."

"Maybe I wasn't asking you to love me, maybe I was asking you to understand, because for so long I've been hurt and for so long you've ignored it, and maybe it is bad timing, but maybe, I don't care. I've been here all along just waiting, waiting for you to notice, waiting for you to care. Waiting for you to say that you've been waiting too, and you haven't and maybe you never will or maybe you're afraid to. But it all hurts the same, and in the end, I'm the one that's left broken and when I lay down to sleep, I'm still the one crying, so screw the bad timing. I've loved you then, like I love you now, like I probably always will."

2009-01-29T18:27:00.000-08:00

We look for love not because it's lonely to be watching movies alone..
sad to eat meals on your own or because its nice to cuddle up with someone on rainy days..
We look for love because we want to be accepted.
..for the sloppy way we dress,
..for the clumsy way we eat our meals,
..for bad hair days and for the simplicity in us.
Love is an act of acceptance. That with all our imperfections, we are still loved.

I'm a dork. I have this amazingly conniving fake confidence that I flaunt even on the days I hate myself more than ever. I can't stay committed to almost anything. I tend to bite my nails when I get nervous, and I'm almost ALWAYS nervous. My hair never turns out right, and my makeup is never how I meant it to be. My friends call me a perfectionist, and they say that I worry too much about the world. I'm afraid I'll never be happy because I have this thing with sabotaging my own happiness... And yet here you are, telling me that those are the things you love most about me?"

- Jenna

2009-01-19T20:13:00.000-08:00

Well, it seems to me that the best relationships -- the ones that last -- are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is...suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with. - The X-Files

2009-01-07T23:27:00.000-08:00

Years."

-Bookends by Jane Green

2009-01-07T23:26:00.000-08:00

I'm a hopeless romantic. I believe in wishing on stars, soul mates, and love that never ends. But yet, sometimes I feel like the only single person alive. I feel so alone. No matter what I try to do, I'm left in solitude. Maybe I try too hard. Maybe I really am hopeless.

2009-01-07T23:23:00.000-08:00

Seriously, I've never understood all that rubbish that married women tell you about not looking, because how can you not look when you're looking, and how can you really be happy on your own when you're not?

2009-01-07T23:20:00.001-08:00

2009-01-07T23:12:00.000-08:00

- Ally McBeal

2009-01-07T22:29:00.000-08:00

"I wanted to tell him that I was afraid he could never love me the way I wanted to be loved. I was afraid that maybe he
didn't really have the capacity to love anyone but himself. I was afraid that given the chance, he'd break my heart
again. But I cheated and just said, I guess I was afraid.'"

-Sex and the City

2009-01-07T22:25:00.000-08:00

"So am I excited? No. More like terrified. For the first time in my life I'm taking a chance. I'm going the hard route, because I can. I know I can. And I'm scared not because I'm moving away from the only life I've ever known... but because I'm going it alone."
-Jo-Anne Golden

2009-01-07T22:17:00.000-08:00

2009-01-07T22:14:00.000-08:00

"I saw him the other day for the first time in months. I mean, I've seen him recently, but today I really saw him--me looking at him, him looking at me, right in the eyes and straight to the heart. And I could feel it, I could feel him, and it was amazing. It's there between us. I just wish he wasn't too afraid to see it."

2009-01-07T22:00:00.000-08:00

2009-01-07T21:56:00.000-08:00

Have you ever really thought about it? You've got this girl, head over heels in love with you.
She'd do anything for you, she'd die for you. But for some reason, you don't want to see that. You
know it's there, and you know that you feel the same way. But you refuse to let it be. Maybe you're scared.
Maybe you're scared of the thought that this girl who you've known forever - you've seen her happy, you've seen sad --
maybe this girl is perfect for you. And that really scares you, doesn't it?"

- Michelle

"Purity is the opposite of integrity the cruelest thing you can do to a person is make her ashamed of her own complexity. The stories of our lives have no morals.

-Fighting For Our Lives

· "Nobody will ever match up with that, not really, I'm probably going to spend my whole life chasing him— writing about him, trying to catch him in my notebooks and stories and wrapping him up in convoluted sentences until I can lose him in the structure of some book, in the structure of that great novel everyone tells me I'm destined to write, until then he'll only exist in pop songs like this, and in my heart."

2008-11-24T22:22:00.000-08:00

The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly than even the final surrender; because this kiss already has within it that surrender.

Someone asked me once, " Would you have still tried even if you knew it wouldn't work?"

I said: "It's like this... championship game. 2 secs left on the clock. My team is down by one. I have the ball and I'm open for a jumpshot. Should I take the shot or not? If I make it, we win and celebrate. If I didn't, we lose and we go home crying. I guess I'll still take that shot. And in case I miss the shot, I'd still cry... but it feels a lot less painful knowing that at least I tried."
