Maybe QUOTES

1 " A guy and a girl can be just friends, but at one point or another, they will fall for each other...Maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late, or maybe forever "

2 " I have something I need to tell you," he says. I run my fingers along the tendons in his hands and look back at him. " I might be in love with you." He smiles a little. " I'm waiting until I'm sure to tell you, though." " That's sensible of you," I say, smiling too. " We should find some paper so you can make a list or a chart or something." I feel his laughter against my side, his nose sliding along my jaw, his lips pressing my ear." Maybe I'm already sure," he says, " and I just don't want to frighten you." I laugh a little. " Then you should know better." " Fine," he says. " Then I love you. "

3 " The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected. Maybe they always have been and will be. Maybe we've lived a thousand lives before this one and in each of them we've found each other. And maybe each time, we've been forced apart for the same reasons. That means that this goodbye is both a goodbye for the past ten thousand years and a prelude to what will come. "

― Nicholas Sparks , The Notebook (The Notebook, #1)

4 " If you stay, I'll do whatever you want. I'll quit the band, go with you to New York. But if you need me to go away, I'll do that, too. I was talking to Liz and she said maybe coming back to your old life would be too painful, that maybe it'd be easier for you to erase us. And that would suck, but I'd do it. I can lose you like that if I don't lose you today. I'll let you go. If you stay. "

― Gayle Forman , If I Stay (If I Stay, #1)

5 " Well?" Ron said finally, looking up at Harry. " How was it?" Harry considered it for a moment. " Wet," he said truthfully.Ron made a noise that might have indicated jubilation or disgust, it was hard to tell." Because she was crying," Harry continued heavily." Oh," said Ron, his smile faded slightly. " Are you that bad at kissing?" " Dunno," said Harry, who hadn't considered this, and immediately felt rather worried. " Maybe I am. "

6 " and he suddenly knew that if she killed herself, he would die. Maybe not immediately, maybe not with the same blinding rush of pain, but it would happen. You couldn't live for very long without a heart. "

― Jodi Picoult

7 " She wanted something else, something different, something more. Passion and romance, perhaps, or maybe quiet conversations in candlelit rooms, or perhaps something as simple as not being second. "

― Nicholas Sparks , The Notebook (The Notebook, #1)

8 " I think I fell in love with her, a little bit. Isn't that dumb? But it was like I knew her. Like she was my oldest, dearest friend. The kind of person you can tell anything to, no matter how bad, and they'll still love you, because they know you. I wanted to go with her. I wanted her to notice me. And then she stopped walking. Under the moon, she stopped. And looked at us. She looked at me. Maybe she was trying to tell me something; I don't know. She probably didn't even know I was there. But I'll always love her. All my life. "

― Neil Gaiman , Worlds' End (The Sandman, #8)

9 " Love is the ultimate outlaw. It just won't adhere to any rules. The most any of us can do is to sign on as its accomplice. Instead of vowing to honor and obey, maybe we should swear to aid and abet. That would mean that security is out of the question. The words " make" and " stay" become inappropriate. My love for you has no strings attached. I love you for free. "

10 " It's funny how you can forget everything except people loving you. Maybe that's why humans find it so hard getting over love affairs. It's not the pain they're getting over, it's the love. "

― Melina Marchetta , On the Jellicoe Road

11 " Have you ever lost yourself in a kiss? I mean pure psychedelic inebriation. Not just lustful petting but transcendental metamorphosis when you became aware that the greatness of this being was breathing into you. Licking the sides and corners of your mouth, like sealing a thousand fleshy envelopes filled with the essence of your passionate being and then opened by the same mouth and delivered back to you, over and over again - the first kiss of the rest of your life. A kiss that confirms that the universe is aligned, that the world's greatest resource is love, and maybe even that God is a woman. With or without a belief in God, all kisses are metaphors decipherable by allocations of time, circumstance, and understanding "

― Saul Williams , , said the shotgun to the head.

12 " And it came to me then. That we were wonderful traveling companions but in the end no more than lonely lumps of metal in their own separate orbits. From far off they look like beautiful shooting stars, but in reality they're nothing more than prisons, where each of us is locked up alone, going nowhere. When the orbits of these two satellites of ours happened to cross paths, we could be together. Maybe even open our hearts to each other. But that was only for the briefest moment. In the next instant we'd be in absolute solitude. Until we burned up and became nothing. "

― Haruki Murakami , Sputnik Sweetheart

13 " Because I can't help doing it," he said with a shrug. " And hey, if I keep loving you, maybe you'll eventually crack and love me too. Hell, I'm pretty sure you're already half in love with me." " I am not! And everything you just said is ridiculous. That's terrible logic." Adrian returned to his crossword puzzle. " Well, you can think what you want, so long as you remember-no matter how ordinary things seem between us-I'm still here, still in love with you, and care about you more than any other guy, evil or otherwise, ever will." " I don't think you're evil." " See? Things are already looking promising. "

14 " Love makes you want to be a better man—right, right. But maybe love, real love, also gives you permission to just be the man you are. "

― Gillian Flynn , Gone Girl

15 " Okay. Then...I can talk. Ask me something." " Okay." He laughs shakily in my ear. " Why is your heart racing Tris?" I cringe and say, " Well, I...I barely know you. I barely know you and I'm crammed up against you in a box, Four, what do you think?" ..." Maybe you were cut out for Candor," he says, " because you're a terrible liar. "

16 " Maybe there isn’t such a thing as fate. Maybe it’s just the opportunities we’re given, and what we do with them. I’m beginning to think that maybe great, epic romances don’t just happen. We have to make them ourselves. "

― Marissa Meyer , Cress (The Lunar Chronicles, #3)

17 " Yeah, well," I say, " I left Abnegation because I wasn't selfless enough, no matter how hard I tried to be." " That's not entirely true." He smiles at me. " That girl who let someone throw knives at her to spare a friend, who hit my dad with a belt to protect me-that selfless girl, that's not you?" ..." You've been paying close attention, haven't you?" " I like to observe people/" " Maybe you were cut out for Candor, Four, because you're a terrible liar. "

18 " Maybe I was destined to forever fall in love with people I couldn’t have. Maybe there’s a whole assortment of impossible people waiting for me to find them. Waiting to make me feel the same impossibility over and over again. "

― Carol Rifka Brunt , Tell the Wolves I'm Home

19 " But I have to confess, I'm glad you two had at least a few months of happiness together." I'm not glad," says Peeta. " I wish we had waited until the whole thing was done officially." This takes even Caesar aback. " Surely even a brief time is better than no time?" Maybe I'd think that, too, Caesar," says Peeta bitterly, " If it weren't for the baby. "

20 " Maybe mistakes are what make our fate... without them what would shape our lives? Maybe if we had never veered off course we wouldn't fall in love, have babies, or be who we are. After all, things change, so do cities, people come into your life and they go. But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart... and if you're very lucky, a plane ride away "

― Candace Bushnell , Sex and the City
