Love does not request. It provides.

❝ The truth is that the more intimately you know someone, the more clearly you’ll see their flaws. That’s just the way it is. This is why marriages fail, why children are abandoned, why friendships don’t last. You might think you love someone until you see the way they act when they’re out of money or under pressure or hungry, for goodness’ sake. Love is something different. Love is choosing to serve someone and be with someone in spite of their filthy heart. Love is patient and kind, love is deliberate. Love is hard. Love is pain and sacrifice, it’s seeing the darkness in another person and defying the impulse to jump ship.❞

❝ How beautiful would it be to find someone who’s in love with your mind. ❞

❝ Being in a relationship ends in one of two ways; breaking up or death. When you think about it like that, love really is doomed from the beginning yet we continue to nearly kill ourselves anyway just to taste it. ❞

❝ Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood. ❞

Just a collection of my favourite love quotes. I especially like the first poem The Quiet World. Rather than just endless chatter, i think it is much more important to find someone who can understand you in your silence. And I used to not understand the last quote but now i see that it is a profound truth right there.

My biggest takeaway?

Read the very first quote of this post again.
