“—Amor. Siempre lo complica todo.”
― Iria G. Parente, El eco del destino

“And yet, something tied them together, stronger than any of that, something with the power to conduct her blood and breath like a symphony, so that anything she did to fight against it felt like discord, like disharmony with her self.”
― Laini Taylor, Daughter of Smoke and Bone

“He was a man of black and white. And she was color. All the color he had.”
― Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove

“...Love is a lie. It’s not some deep and meaningful connection
between two people built over stolen moments and awkward glances and hot
chocolates. It’s not a holy expression of the profound understanding you have
for another person or a sign from the universe that you’ve found the one human
being in the world that you’re fated to spend the rest of your life with.
“Love is chemical warfare. It’s your body responding to their pheromones
by juicing you with feel-good hormones and then spraying your own cocktail
of pheromones into the air. It’s serotonin and dopamine and oxytocin. You can
get the same high from eating a bag of chocolates, did you know that? And the longer you spend with someone, the
more addicted to them you become. Your body craves the chemicals their
body churns out. Love turns us into junkies.”
― Shaun David Hutchinson
