"Koev halev (Hebrew): identifying with the suffering of another so closely that one hurts oneself, that one’s heart aches."

I'm a star! And the audience loves me, and I love them, and they love me for loving them, and I love them for loving me. And we looove each other. And that's because none of us got enough love in our childhoods. And that's showbiz, kid.
Ask me things, say things, send love letters etc

"Americans seem to be acting this way lately; we don’t love ourselves enough to value our choices without some kind of outside sanction. So we deprecate others lest they deprecate us, even by implication."

“Well, let it pass, he thought; April is over, April is over. There are all kinds of love in the world, but never the same love twice.”—F. Scott Fitzgerald

"…man’s love for woman, his sexual adoration of her, his human definition of her, his delight and pleasure in her, require her negation: physical crippling and psychological lobotomy. That is the very nature of romantic love, which is the love based on polar role definitions, manifest in herstory as well as in fiction —he glories in her agony, he adores her deformity, he annihilates her freedom, he will have her as sex object, even if he must destroy the bones in her feet to do it. Brutality, sadism, and oppression emerge as the substantive core of the romantic ethos. That ethos is the warp and woof of culture as we know it."

"I don’t suppose I really know you very well - but I know you smell like the delicious damp grass that grows near old walls and that your hands are beautiful opening out of your sleeves and that the back of your head is a mossy sheltered cave when there is trouble in the wind and that my cheek just fits the depression in your shoulder."
— Zelda Fitzgerald, in a letter to F. Scott Fitzgerald (via bisous-a-tous)

“But it was too interesting, too new, too flattering, too deeply comforting to resist, it was a liberation to be in love and say so, and she could only let herself go deeper.”

"Most of my love stories end with me feeling like I put a whole lot of energy into trying to build something out of nothing. Lust turns to love so easily and before you know it you’re invested in a relationship that seems more important than you. You end up trying to save a relationship for the sake of the relationship rather than trying to save yourself."

"Boys and girls in America have such a sad time together; sophistication demands that they submit to sex immediately without proper preliminary talk. Not courting talk— real straight talk about souls, for life is holy and every moment is precious."

"We have a double standard, which is to say, a man can show how much he cares by being violent - see, he’s jealous, he cares - a woman shows how much she cares by how much she’s willing to be hurt; by how much she will take; how much she will endure."
