"The stars are like photographs. You can read into them what you will. You can believe that they measure all you have lost, or you can believe that they represent all you have loved, and continue to love."
"Life holds hostage all those we love."
"It was all or nothing with this woman. That's why I loved her - and I can say that now. I loved her. But she wasn't cut out for an affair. The right girl in so many ways, she was the wrong girl to play that role. She was a romantic. Say what you like about those starry - eyed souls, about the upheaval and destruction they always leave in their wake, but there is one thing about romantics that nobody can deny. They never settle for second best."
"Sometimes we have to stay away from the things we love, and learn to appreciate the things we need."

No problem :) Sometimes it is quite interesting to get the point of view of a man on a relationship :)
