Captain Corelli's Mandolin and Never Been Kissed

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal and infinite passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.

Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. I want it... roots that grow towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom have fallen from our branches we find that we are one tree and not two.

I’ve kissed a guy... I’ve kissed guys. Then you came along.

I just hadn't felt that thing.... THE thing... that moment when you kiss someone and everything around you becomes hazy, and the only thing in focus is you and this person. And you realize that that person is the only person you’re supposed to kiss for the rest of your life. And for one moment you get this amazing gift. And you wanna laugh and you wanna cry, cause you feel so lucky that you’ve finally found them, and so scared that it’ll go away all at the same time.
