Truth is everybody is going to hurt you: you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.

Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.

The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.

A person isn't who they are during the last conversation you had with them - they're who they've been throughout your whole relationship.

Falling in love and having a relationship are two different things.

Truth is, I'll never know all there is to know about you just as you will never know all there is to know about me. Humans are by nature too complicated to be understood fully. So, we can choose either to approach our fellow human beings with suspicion or to approach them with an open mind, a dash of optimism and a great deal of candour.

Treasure your relationships, not your possessions.

Nothing is perfect. Life is messy. Relationships are complex. Outcomes are uncertain. People are irrational.

We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it.
