Love Quotes Quote by Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

““Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the same horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time. That is the life of men.”

“And you can't love, not fully, unless you are loved in return.”

““Because I can't help doing it," he said with a shrug. "And hey, if I keep loving you, maybe you'll eventually crack and love me too. Hell, I'm pretty sure you're already half in love with me."”

“You don’t need scores of suitors. You need only one… if he’s the right one.”
