"Temporary separation is a part of the game. After all, what is life without a little pain? And the sooner we realise this-- the better we will get at sleeping during lonely nights; the better we will get at making it through the fist fights; and the better we will get at being alright, because love isn't just about happiness, or being perfectly comfortable. It's about feelings alive in every humanly way possible. And if we're not ready for that, then we're not ready to be loved. And if we didn't feel broken, then we didn't deserve to be loved."

A Thing, or Two, About Love
"Temporary separation is a part of the game. After all, what is life without a little pain? And the sooner we realise this-- the better we will get at sleeping during lonely nights; the better we will get at making it through the fist fights; and the better we will get at being alright, because love isn't just about happiness, or being perfectly comfortable. It's about feelings alive in every humanly way possible. And if we're not ready for that, then we're not ready to be loved. And if we didn't feel broken, then we didn't deserve to be loved."
