So here goes nothing. 🙈
The cheesiest is from Wuthering Heights, one of the classic toxic romances 🤣I just never grew out of it. So, this is gonna go from the cheesiest to less cheesy.
1. If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.
2. You accept the love you think you deserve - The Perks of being a wallflower
3. Don’t fall in love with a woman who reads, a woman who feels too much, a woman who writes...
Don’t fall in love with an educated, magical, delusional, crazy woman. Don’t fall in love with a woman who thinks, who knows what she knows and also knows how to fly; a woman sure of herself.
Don’t fall in love with a woman who laughs or cries making love, knows how to turn her spirit into flesh; let alone one that loves poetry (these are the most dangerous), or spends half an hour contemplating a painting and isn't able to live without music.
Don’t fall in love with a woman who is interested in politics and is rebellious and feel a huge horror from injustice. One who does not like to watch television at all. Or a woman who is beautiful no matter the features of her face or her body.
Don’t fall in love with a woman who is intense, entertaining, lucid and irreverent. Don’t wish to fall in love with a woman like that. Because when you fall in love with a woman like that, whether she stays with you or not, whether she loves you or not, from a woman like that, you never come back.
4. ‘Once the first avowal has been made,’” he said, quoting Barthes from
memory, “‘“I love you” has no meaning whatever.’”
Madeleine frowned. “Are you going to start that again?”
“No, but—think about it. That means the first avowal does have meaning.”
This needs more context I guess. But it was something that moved me so much. From Marriage plot by Jeefrey Eugenides
5. The quest of love changes us. There is no seeker among those who search for love who has not matured on the way. The moment you start looking for love, you start to change within and without " - Shams of Tabriz
See, these are some of it that's at the top of my head. There are so many that I keep collecting every time I read. And some of these are very contradictory. And they are all love I guess.
Sorry, for going overboard. 😬
This is why you shouldn't give me free reign. 😅
