Love Quotes Quote by Elizabeth Gilbert, Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Desiring another person is perhaps the most risky endeavor of all. As soon as you want somebody—really want him—it is as though you have taken a surgical needle and sutured your happiness to the skin of that person, so that any separation will now cause a lacerating injury.”

“People always fall in love with the most perfect aspects of each other’s personalities. Who wouldn’t? Anybody can love the most wonderful parts of another person. But that’s not the clever trick. The really clever trick is this: Can you accept the flaws? Can you look at your partner’s faults honestly and say, ‘I can work around that. I can make something out of it.’? Because the good stuff is always going to be there, and it’s always going to pretty and sparkly, but the crap underneath can ruin you.”

“Sometimes life is too hard to be alone, and sometimes life is too good to be alone.”

““Good. Because I don't need protecting."”

“Hope is not about proving anything. It's about choosing to believe this one thing, that love is bigger than any grim, bleak shit anyone can throw at us.”

“The more boys I meet the more I love my dog.”

“Love is an abstract noun, something nebulous. And yet love turns out to be the only part of us that is solid, as the world turns upside down and the screen goes black.”

“We are at our most powerful the moment we no longer need to be powerful.”

“The humblest tasks get beautified if loving hands do them.”
