You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You're chicken, you've got no guts. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, "Okay, life's a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness."

"Love isn't a feeling that sweeps you away...but a decision you make. It's also a lie two people tell each other, a myth they create together, because loving one person intensely, and being loved by them in return, makes the world a slightly less terrifying place.

If all attaining love required was the search for the one person out there who was 'perfect' for you, then love would be easy -- particularly in the days of Internet search engines. As it is, real, lasting love is hard to find and hard to hold onto. But then, anything of value is, right?"-Dan Savage, "Savage Love"
