61 " Real love never fails. "
― Karen Kingsbury , Forever (Firstborn, #5)
62 " It’s about needing to feel loved and comforted but feeling unworthy of real love and comfort. It’s about hating having needs and desires. For some of us, needs make us feel greedy and selfish. For some of us, having needs means we can easily get hurt if those needs are not met. For some of us, we don’t believe we deserve to have our needs met. We try to convince ourselves that we don’t need anything by avoiding food, one of our greatest primal needs. "
63 " You can’t fall in love that fast. Not real love. Real love takes time, like a fine wine. Real love takes years. Not days. Not weeks. "
― Kitty Thomas , The Last Girl
64 " I hope that real love and truth are stronger in the end than any evil or misfortune in the world. "
― Charles Dickens
65 " Without commitment and real selflessness, real love shall always be like a sea without fish; a forest without the sweet harmonious chorus of the birds and a stomach without food "
66 " When you find real love — protect and preserve the sweetness and intimacy of your gift. "
― Bryant McGill , Simple Reminders: Inspiration for Living Your Best Life
67 " The paradox of real love is that our capacity to sustain intimacy rests on our capacity to tolerate aloneness inside the relationship. "

68 " You’re looking for real love in a ‘right now’ culture. And, many people might mistake you for just a ‘right now’ person. But, don’t let that fool you. You deserve the real love, the forever love. It might not be ‘right now’, but it’ll be the right love. And, it’ll be worth the wait. "
― Liz Newman
69 " In real love you want the other person's good. "
70 " Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is. "
― James Ellroy , The Best American Noir of the Century
71 " In real love you want the other person's good. In romantic love you want the other person. "
