In love, somehow, a man's heart is always either exceeding the speed limit, or getting parked in the wrong place.
By poeticizing love, we imagine in those we love virtues that they often do not possess; this then becomes the source of constant mistakes and constant distress.
We have flaws, things go wrong, people's hearts get broken, people make mistakes, people fall in love with other people. And that's hard, but that's also part of life.
I didn't want to make the same mistake my parents made. I didn't want my love to fade away one day like an old scar. I wanted it to burn forever.
Spontaneous love admits errors, hesitations and human failings. It can be tested and repaired.
It's good to let God pick a man for you. We don't do so well when we pick them ourselves. They end up lipsticks in a drawer, all those wrong colors you thought looked so good in the package.
Marriages that made out of love (so-called "love-matches") have error as their father and misery (necessity) as their mother.
I have seen the breakups between people who love each other and rush into getting married too quickly and I do not want to make that mistake.
Ordinarily, I am the person who falls in love quickly and somewhat inappropriately and then goes on to destroy what is a good thing. That's always been my style. So, you know: I get it. And I feel right now the way I imagine all those guys felt with me. And I have to say, for the first time in my life, I feel something approaching compassion for them.
Love is too prone to trust. Would I could think My charges false and all too rashly made.
I have no notion of a perfect woman, as I feel if I fall in love, it can be with a wrong person also.
All the passions make us commit faults; love makes us commit the most ridiculous ones.
love is blind and lovers cannot see the pretty follies that themselves commit
Love is so blind, it feels right when it's wrong.
The man who has never made a fool of himself in love will never be wise in love.
I have not always loved wisely, but I was young.
What I do know is sometimes we love the wrong people and sometimes we marry them.
I think I wasted a lot of my youth, falling for girls who were a couple of years older than me.
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance. Never settle for the path of least resistance. Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin'. Lovin might be a mistake but it's worth makin'.
If you marry the wrong person for the wrong reasons, then no matter how hard you work, it's never going to work, because then you have to completely change yourself, completely change them, completely - by that time, you're both dead.
A lover without indiscretion is no lover at all.
Just because some of us make a mistake in love once doesn't mean we're doomed to repeat it.
Well, people fall in love with the wrong guy all the time, it doesn't make them bad people.
He was in love, and people in that condition did stupid, unfathomable things. They were all flawed, every single one.
Marrying a woman for her beauty makes no more sense than eating a bird for its singing. But it's a common mistake nonetheless.
