Schenk mir einen Moment

“I think I fall in love a little bit with anyone who shows me their soul. This world is so guarded and fearful. I appreciate rawness so much.”

“We are all broken, that’s how the light gets in.”

“Human relationships are strange. I mean, you are with one person a while, eating and sleeping and living with them, loving them, talking to them, going places together, and then it stops”

“The sign of intelligence is that you are constantly wondering. Idiots are always dead sure about every damn thing they are doing in their life.”

“It eventually gets better, without any sort of explanation; you just wake up one morning and you’re not as upset anymore.”

“when the person you love has gone away, it is not just the person itself that you miss; it is their smile on a rainy day; the fact that they listen to what you say whenever you need to talk, it is the evenings you spent watching a movie, it is holding hands in the middle of the night and kisses on the cheeks when you are already half asleep. it is their voice and their face you got to know so well. it is the love they gave you, that feeling when someone is sleeping next to you at night; someone taking care of you and making you your favourite cup of tea and the fact that they know the right amount of milk in your coffee. it is not just the person, that you miss. it is everything it has ever been about. it is every feeling and every experience you have shared”

“Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don’t blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being in love, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.”

“A healthy relationship is one where two independent people just make a deal that they will help make the other person be the best version of themselves.”

“One of the hardest things you will ever have to do my dear is grieve the loss of a person who is still alive.”

“To heal a wound you need to stop touching it.”

“Don’t settle. Don’t finish crappy books. If you don’t like the menu, leave the restaurant. If you’re not on the right path, get off it.”

“When you love someone, its never over. You move on, because you have to but you take them with you in your heart.”

“I knew I did from that first moment we met. It was… Not love at first sight exactly, but - familiarity. Like: oh, hello, it’s you. It’s going to be you.”

“And when you get something good, please don’t go looking for something better.”

“Stay close to anything that makes you glad you are alive.”
