“As I hit thirty, I started to despise the bar scene. I had experienced every single version of those nights. I knew all the possible outcomes, and I knew the probabilities of those outcomes.

“At one point I was the hopeful romantic who would stay out till 4: 00 A.M. every morning, worried that if I went home, I’d miss that magical, amazing woman who showed up at the bar at 3: 35 A.M. After many late nights and brutal mornings, though, I realized that most amazing, magical women don’t wal…”— Aziz Ansari, amazon.com
“The best thing you can possibly do with your life is to tackle the motherfucking shit out of love.”— Cheryl Strayed, amazon.com
“If I ever was texting frequently with someone and wanted to make an alias, I think I’d go with ‘Scottie Pippen.’ Then any friends who were peeking at my screen could be left wondering why I was texting with the former Chicago Bulls star on the reg. I only hope Scottie Pippen’s wife never has an affa…”— Aziz Ansari, amazon.com
“Then, one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life... You give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore.”— Neil Gaiman, amazon.com
“You don’t need princes to save you. I don’t have a lot of patience for stories in which women are rescued by men.”— Neil Gaiman, amazon.com
“It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up.

“M, a brand marketer, sent her boyfriend a picture of her breasts to help him cope with a case of nerves before a presentation at work. This is my favorite.

“The first stab of love is like a sunset, a blaze of color -- oranges, pearly pinks, vibrant purples...”— Anna Godbersen, goodreads.com
“At certain times, though, this ‘I need the best’ mentality can be debilitating. I wish I could just eat somewhere that looks good and be happy with my choice. But I can’t. The problem is that I know somewhere there is a perfect meal for me and I have to do however much research I can to find it. Tha…”— Aziz Ansari, amazon.com
“I am glad it cannot happen twice, the fever of first love. For it is a fever, and a burden, too, whatever the poets may say.”— Daphne du Maurier, famous-quotes.us
“Needless to say, the singles scene in Qatar is not quite like what we observed anywhere else in the world. Those from religious and traditional families are literally prohibited from casual dating.

“I will love you if you don’t marry me. I will love you if you marry someone else your co-star, perhaps, or Y., or even O., or anyone Z. through A., even R. Although sadly I believe it will be quite some time before two women can be allowed to marry and I will love you if you have a child, and I will…”— Lemony Snicket, amazon.com
“Walking into a bar or party, a lot of times all you have to go by is people’s faces, and that’s what you use to decide if you are going to gather up the courage to talk to them. Isn’t the swipe app just a HUGE party full of faces that we can swipe right to go talk to? In the case of the girl I’m cur…”— Aziz Ansari, amazon.com
“When we hold each other, in the darkness, it doesn't make the darkness go away. The bad things are still out there. The nightmares still walking. When we hold each other we feel not safe, but better. 'It's all right' we whisper, 'I'm here, I love you.' and we lie: 'I'll never leave you.' For just a…”— Neil Gaiman, amazon.com
