They say true love only comes around once and you have to hold out and be strong until then. I have been waiting. I have been searching. I am a man under the moon, walking the streets of earth until dawn. There’s got to be someone for me. It’s not too much to ask. Just someone to be with. Someone to love. Someone to give everything to. Someone.
– Henry Rollins
There is no remedy for love but to love more.
– Henry David Thoreau
Life will not break your heart. It’ll crush it.
– Henry Rollins
It hurts to let go. Sometimes it seems the harder you try to hold on to something or someone the more it wants to get away. You feel like some kind of criminal for having felt, for having wanted. For having wanted to be wanted. It confuses you, because you think that your feelings were wrong and it makes you feel so small because it’s so hard to keep it inside when you let it out and it doesn’t coma back. You’re left so alone that you can’t explain. Damn, there’s nothing like that, is there? I’ve been there and you have too. You’re nodding your head.

Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.
– Henry Rollins
Love is self deception. I am a living creature. Hate is only self love. I am a double feature.
– Henry Rollins
Girls aren’t beautiful, they’re pretty. Beautiful is too heavy a word to assign to a girl. Women are beautiful because their faces show that they know they have lost something and picked up something else.
– Henry Rollins
I wanted love to grow back, like the grass when it’s mown down. To grow differently, if need be, like children’s teeth, like hair, like fingernails. To spring up at will, wild and untended. The chill of the sheets made me shudder, and so did the warmth that followed when I lay down.
– Herta Müller
A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.
– Ingrid Bergman
Love is the extremely difficult realization that something other than oneself is real.
– Iris Murdoch
I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down. That’s the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty…you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where you are.
– J. D. Salinger
