— Kathy's being really nice and you just walked away.
— What do you want from me?
— I want you to like her. If that's too damn difficult for you, then the least you could do is pretend.
— I am pretending.
— Then do it better.
— What do you say I go over there and tell her how much I like her? I can tell her how much I've been thinking of her. I haven't stopped thinking about her since we met. I'm so over the top, want-to-slit-my-own-throat... in love with her that for every minute... I can't believe my own damn bad luck that you met her first!
It is very romantic to be in love. But there is nothing romantic about a definite proposal. Why, one may be accepted. One usually is, I believe. Then the excitement is all over. The very essence of romance is uncertainty.
— I can't eat, Grandpa.
— What's the matter, you sick?
— Yeah. Lovesick.
A man can be happy with any woman, as long as he does not love her.
It's just that women are often under the impression... that men are much more in love with them than they really are.
— What did it feel like when you fell in love?
— I don't think I found it. <...> You've gotta be careful that the person that you fall in love... is worth it to you.
<...>
— How do you trust your feelings when they can just disappear like that?
— I think the only way you can find out is... to have the feeling.
— I love you.
— And there it goes, Grace. Away it goes...
When you fall in love... it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake, and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots... have become so entwined together... that it is inconceivable... that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. <...> That is just being in love... which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over... when being in love has burned away.
