“All love stories are the same.”
― Paulo Coelho, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept

“You know why love stories have happy endings?” I shake my head.

and feel your mood in my hips”
― Maquita Donyel Irvin

“The start receives such disproportionate attention because it isn't deemed to be just one phase among many; for the Romantic, it contains in a concentrated form everything significant about love as a whole. Which is why, in so many love stories, there is simply nothing else for the narrator to do with a couple after they have triumphed over a range of initial obstacles other than to consign them to an ill-defined contented future--or kill them off. What we typically call love is only the start of love.”
― Alain de Botton, The Course of Love

“There are lots of love stories here.....They either end happily or everyone dies.”

“Wonderful things didn’t happen because one was cautious. They happened because one dared.”
― Mimi Matthews, The Siren of Sussex

“Maybe you are right to be cautious. You have been lied to before, after all. Your heart is weathered and scarred, mishandled by many, eroded by time. You’re no dummy, and yet repeatedly, you stumble over the cracks of your cobblestone heart, you let your naked foolish hopes get the better of you.”
― Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory

“The greatest love stories are unexpected, unexplained... choreographed chaos played out in God’s timing. It feels like a chance encounter with a familiar stranger... Like a rekindling of an eternal flame.”
― Steve Maraboli

“I want to let you go and at the same time ask you not to forget me.
I want both of us to move on but not forgetting each other completely.
Is this the right thing to wish for when
we can't be together?
Our feelings are strong yet not enough
for us to feel closer
I'm not yours and you're not mine, then what are we?
I hope we both could find the right answer to our fate's mystery.”
― Miss Rainbow Moonfire

“जब उदास लम्हों की रंगीन तितलियाँ मेरी आँखों में रक़्स करती हैं, तो सीने की वीरानी में अफ़्सानों का एक जंगल उगने लगता है। दरख़्तों की टहनियों पर गाते हुए परिंदों की बोली में मेरे माज़ी के हसीन होंटों की हँसी साफ़ साफ़ सुनी जा सकती है।”
― Tripurari, North Campus

“She was a powerbomb filled with great magic, and I knew she could conquer most anything, but I didn't like the worry lines that had become a perpetual fixture on her forehead since earlier today.”

― Alborz Azar, WHO DID IIT: The RAHA Series

“All great love stories have great pain. You were worth it.”
― Drue Grit

“Maybe this could become something special, something bigger than just a thing you tried once because, hey, why not? But on the other hand, it’s probably best not to think about it too much [...] if you load yourself up with too many might-have-beens, the ferry will sink under all that weight.”
― Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory

― Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory

“The scars have healed, the universe has cooled, the porcupine that is your cautious heart has uncurled itself, put away its quills, and continued on in whatever random direction it was headed.”
― Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory

“Because ghost stories were just love stories about here and then and now and when, about pockets of happiness and moments that resonated in places long after their era. They were the stories that taught you that love was never a matter of time, but a matter of timing.”
― Ashley Poston, The Dead Romantics

“That... that's really sad.'

'Some say all great love stories are.'

'Some people are stupid.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire

“जब दुख भीतर हो, तो बाहर की हर चीज़ दुखी ही नज़र आती है।”
― Tripurari, North Campus

― Tripurari, North Campus

“I was a twenty-two-year-old innocent, so eager for a rendezvous with my lieutenant in Europe that I had leaped at the opportunity to take a no-frills redeye to Paris and on to Munich.--Ann, A Rendezvous to Remember.”
― Terry Marshall and Ann Garretson Marshall

“I spent a lot of time in the past year trying to work out the trick of writing a true story about love.

I think I may have been coming at the whole thing a little sideways.

You see, it’s awfully hard to live a true love story when you’re focusing your attention on the love story you want to write.”
― Jeanette LeBlanc

“I have always believed that in a good marriage two people should be softened and deepened, their hard edges polished, their separate parts coming together like wine mellowing in a barrel, creating something richer and more beautiful. Unfortunately, not all wines age well. Some wines fall apart prematurely, their components break down, and they turn to vinegar. Once a wine goes to vinegar, it can't turn back. Love may never end, but some love stories turn sour.”
― Adam McHugh

“In the delicate dance of hearts, even the most unexpected steps can lead to the most beautiful love stories.”
