How True Love Is Impacted By Our Deficiency

"Whether a guy and a girl are merely friends or not, feelings between them can still arise at one point or another and this can eventually happen not only in the near future but also in the far, uncertain future or even for a lifetime."

Dave Matthews Band

"To experience the depth of true connection this is something that, unfortunately, many people don't find out unless and until they are very close. Quite often, these quiet moments shared with one another that feel like a heart-to-heart dialogue just one of the many areas where they feel really 'connected'. At the same time, talk that lasts for years or even days won't come close to conveying a mutual understanding in the quietness."

"Giving up hurts a lot. The more you try to secure the person or the thing, the more it appears to be going away. You might feel guilty about wanting someone to like you in return because of your need to be wanted. It is quite a task to keep your feelings within yourself, but when you do express them and they are not reciprocated, it confuses you and makes you doubt whether your feelings are real or not. You feel so isolated that even putting it into words becomes a great difficulty for you. No, it can’t be true, could it? We have both gone through this. You give a silent approval with your nod."

Henry Rollins, The Portable Henry Rollins

“Everyone dreams of finding the one who is just right for them. But after a long list of relationships, you may even think that there are no nice people but different kinds of wrong ones. The reason is that you usually look for someone to fill in your flaws even when you accept your weaknesses. It takes a lot to accept your imperfections and that means getting through life.”

“Besides, until we go through our worst fears and unresolved conflicts those parts of us that really make us who we are we are not for a dear and long-lasting partner. Only then will you know what it is that you are looking for. You are looking for the wrong person, but not just any wrong person; it should be the right one someone with whom you can say with love, “This is the hard part I want to deal with.” I will meet a person who will not be the perfect match, but who will be the most suitable in an imperfect way for me.”

Andrew Boyd, Daily Afflictions

“From my point of view, friendships are often the source of the strongest and most enduring relationships. One day, one of your acquaintances may suddenly look like a completely different person, and you just want to be with that person. It is the friend you once thought of as just a friend and now consider to be the only one you can be with.”

Gillian Anderson

“The hardest part is to lose yourself because of love, to the point that you don’t know your own traits anymore.”

Ernest Hemingway, Men Without Women

"What we really do is looking for a partner to complete our life. After discovering that we are still incomplete, A the blame for these unfulfilled feelings we place on our partners and then we move on to a new one who seems better A the unending cycle of partner shifting continues until we realize that a partner can uplift our lives, but it’s us who are responsible for our happiness. Thinking the other way is deceiving oneself and leading every relationship to failure. It is no one else but us who cannot provide that."

Tom Robbins

"Disagreements are inevitable in every couple’s life. It is just a demonstration that the relationship is strong enough to fight challenges. Dealing with ups and downs is the foundation of strong, beautiful, and enduring couples."

Nicholas Sparks, Safe Haven

"Love, contrary to the general assumption, is not something that one does not have to earn, and even if it were, it would still cost something. There are always expectations, and they inevitably require something in return. For example, they may expect you to be happy, and since their happiness is dependent on yours, you are responsible for their joy. That much responsibility I simply don’t want."

Katja Millay, The Sea of Tranquility

"The concept of Mr. Right doesn’t exist; thus, the quest for him results only in disappointment. Mr. Wrong is a nonentity, and so is Mr. Right. There always remain valuable insights to be gained from the one who is present in front of us."

Marianne Williamson
