I feel the force of her amiable beauties in the recollection of a thousand tender passages that I coud wish to obliterate, till I am bid to revive them. - but experience alas! sadly reminds me how Impossible this is. - and evinces an Opinion which I have long entertaind, that there is a Destiny, which has the Sovereign controul of our Actions - not to be resisted by the strongest efforts of Human Nature.

I think I'm smart unless I'm really, really in love and then I am ridiculously stupid.

There are no rules when it comes to love. I just try to let love surprise me because you never know who you're going to fall in love with. You never know who's going to come into your life - and for me, when I picture the person I want to end up with, I don't think about what their career is, or what they look like. I picture the feeling I get when I'm with them.

Love is unpredictable and it's frustrating and it's tragic and it's beautiful.

We should love, not fall in love, because everything that falls, gets broken.

Real love still happens sometimes. It's not just something we make up when you're nine. I have to believe that. You do too.
