So I've Heard
On Love & Relationships
- Chester Bennington -“What’s the worse thing I’ve stolen? Probably little pieces of other people’s lives. Where I’ve either wasted their time or hurt them in some way. That’s the worst thing you can steal, the time of other people. You just can’t get that back.”
On Love & Relationships
- Mikee Cane -“I hope you find someone who knows how to love you when you are sad, insecure, mad, and most of all when you are unlovable.”
On Love & Relationships
- Pierre Jeanty -“Your love will be too strong for anyone who isn’t looking for something real.”
On Love & Relationships
- Mitch Albom -“All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair.”
On Love & Relationships
- Sherman Alexie -“He loved her, of course, but better than that, he chose her, day after day. Choice: that was the thing.”
On Love & Relationships
- Jonathan Carroll -“At the end of their relationship she asked if they could still remain friends. His face stayed expressionless until he said ‘No’. Because we put friends in boxes. You see them once in awhile, or even a lot, but still they have their box in your life, their specific place. Their *category.* That’s one of the great things about being someone’s love— you have no box in their life because you’re part of all their boxes. You’re their friend, their lover, their confidante— all those things. I don’t want to be put in one of your boxes and I don’t want to shrink you to fit into one of mine.”
On Love & Relationships
- Chris Abani -“The world is never saved in grand gestures, but in the simple accumulation of gentle, soft, almost invisible acts of compassion; everyday acts of compassion.”
On Love & Relationships
- Emily Giffin -“Maybe that’s what it all comes down to. Love, not as a surge of passion, but as a choice to commit to something, someone, no matter what obstacles or temptations stand in the way. And maybe making that choice, again and again, day in and day out, year after year, says more about love than never having a choice to make at all.”
On Love & Relationships
- Kurt Vonnegut -“Still and all, why bother? Here’s my answer. Many people need desperately to receive this message: ” I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.”
On Love & Relationships
- Christopher Poindexter -“I watched a girl in a sundress kiss another girl on a park bench, and just as the sunlight spilled perfectly onto both of their hair, i thought to myself: ‘How bravely beautiful it is, that sometimes, the sea wants the city, even when it has been told its entire life it was meant for the shore.”
On Love & Relationships
- Waylon Lewis -“I would not like to commit to a love affair that distracts either of us from helping this poor, endlessly confused, ungrateful, self-righteous, critical, speedily, shallow yet fundamentally good world. “
On Love & Relationships
- r.m. drake -“And it goes like this, if you love too much then you’ll hurt too much and anything in-between will always be a lie.”
On Love & Relationships
- AJ Lawless -“How brave you were to give up your wings, just to walk beside me.”
