When you are in a relationship, you are aware that it might end. You might grow apart, find someone else, simply fall out of love.

You take its permanence for granted, which might be the very thing so dear about it. —Emily Giffin in Something Borrowed More about this quote Tags: love relationship forever Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email

I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism. —Elizabeth Gilbert in Love More about this quote Tags: love optimism relationship risk romance greatness men Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email
