For a select few...
One of my favourites quotes from one of my favourite films... for a select few who will know who they are when they read this:
"...love don't make things nice - it ruins everything. It breaks your heart. It makes things a mess. We aren't here to make things perfect. The snowflakes are perfect. The stars are perfect. Not us. Not us! We are here to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and love the wrong people and die. The storybooks are bullshit!"

I prefer...
'Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies because of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing.'
...but then it was written by a woman.
Cheater.
No bringing in literary references when I'm qoting from movies.
Different categories.

Point taken.
Ok, this one is from 'The Big Blue'. The whole film's an analogy, and I'll let you decide what Jacques is talking about here, though it's meant to be about mermaids;
'You go down to the bottom of the sea, where the water isn't even blue anymore, where the sky is only a memory, and you float there, in the silence. And you stay there, and you decide that you'll die for them. Only then do they start coming out. They come, and they greet you, and they judge the love you have for them. If it's sincere, if it's pure, they'll be with you, and take you away forever.'
I like the idea you have to be prepared to die AND love before you deserve anything... hope it's true :-)
