Top 10 Best Quotes

“If you take goodwill for granted and get sloppy, you might get away with it once or twice, but you won't get away with it for ever.

“Sometimes, when you are really attached to an ideal, it is just not possible to compromise.”

“Perhaps intimacy is not just loving everything about him, but knowing everything about him—and staying anyway.”

“When you are young, feelings are your truth; love is how you feel. The years have taught me that love is not an emotion that you feel about someone, but what you do for them, how you grow with them.”
