    “She was terrific to hold hands with. Most girls, if you hold hands with them, their goddam hand dies on you, or else they think they have to keep moving their hands all the time, as if they were afraid they’d bore you or something. Jane was different. We’d get into a goddam movie or something, and right away we’d start holding hands, and we won’t quite till the movie was over. And without changing the position or making a deal out of it. You never even worried, with Jane, whether your hand was sweaty or not. All you knew was, you were happy. You really were.”
    J.D Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

    “

    Well I’ve been lost and I need direction /
    I could use a little love protection /
    What you say honey come to my defense /

    I stand up for you if it’s what you need /
    And I can take a punch, I don’t mind to bleed /
    As long as afterwards you feel bad for me /

    ”
    Griffin House, The Guy That Says Goodbye Is Out of His Mind

    “Well, I should probably just start first, that you, […] have just wrecked me. In the best possible way, you have absolutely wrecked me. Because you see, I fell in love with you, knowing that there was never any possibility of being with you. Knowing full well that a sizeable chunk of your heart would always be wrapped up in our friend… And that much was actually okay with me. Right up to the point that you chose me. Cause then you just turned everything on it’s head. And I got everything that I wanted, and from that day forward, I’ve just been a wreck.”
    Joshua Jackson, Dawson’s Creek

    “Love isn’t something you feel, it’s something you do. If the person you’re with doesn’t want it, you know, do yourself a favor and save it for someone who does.”

    “So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don’t, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it. Eventually feels a lot better than actually.”
    Ellen Pompeo, Grey’s Anatomy

    “Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.”
    Rainer Maria Rilke

    “Because you’re beautiful, and you don’t know it. Because you’re smart, and you don’t believe it. You’re the kind of girl that guys never get over…you’re the kind of girl that other girls get compared to.”

    “I wanted to be the person [he] told things to. I wanted him to think I was pretty, I wanted him to be reminded of me by stuff I liked— pistachios and hooded sweatshirts and the Dylan song ‘Girl from the North Country’— and I wanted him to miss me when we were apart. I wanted him to feel, when we were lying in bed together, like he couldn’t imagine anywhere better.”
    Curtis Sittenfeld, Prep

    “Love is passion, obsession, someone you can’t live without. If you don’t start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who’ll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I’m not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you’ll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven’t lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven’t tried, you haven’t lived.”
    Anthony Hopkins, Meet Joe Black
