Some great quotes about unrequited love...

Just like I don't think anyone in her right mind would "choose" to be gay knowing all the pain that goes with it, I don't think anyone ever chooses to fall in love (or like or crush or whatever you want to call it) with someone who doesn't feel the same. 

These are just some really "I get it" quotes about unrequited love. I've written about this before, but then deleted the posts, as if deleting words could somehow delete feelings...if only. :(


"Unrequited love is a ridiculous state, and it makes those in it behave ridiculously.”
― Cassandra Clare

 "What made you feel that stomach-churning agony for one person and not another? If Bridget were God, she would have made it against the law for you to feel that way about someone without them having to feel it for you right back.”
― Ann Brashares, Girls In Pants: The Third Summer of the Sisterhood 

“There is nothing so mortifying as to fall in love with someone who does not share one's sentiments.”
― Georgette Heyer, Venetia 

“I think if you like somebody you have to tell them. It might be embarrassing to say it, but you will never regret stepping up. I know from personal experience, however, that you should not keep telling a girl that you like her after she tells you she isn't into it. You should not keep riding your bike by her house either.”
― Donald Miller, Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality
(I don't think it's ever a good idea to tell someone how you feel, but I found this interesting anyway.) 

“Let her remain where she is. A constellation away.”
― Eric Gamalinda, My Sad Republic 

 “I get what it's like to want something, but to try and force yourself to really believe that you don't.”
― Cora Carmack, Losing It

 “Perfect behavior is born of complete indifference. Perhaps this is why we always love madly someone who treats us with indifference.”
― Cesare Pavese, Il mestiere di vivere: Diario 1935-1950
  
And from a song called "Tears You Apart" by She Wants Revenge:

It's cute in a way, till you cannot speak

And you leave to have a cigarette, knees get weak

 escape was just a nod and a casual wave

 Obsess about it, heavy for the next two days

It's only just a crush, it'll go away

 It's just like all the others it'll go away

 Or maybe this is danger and you just don't know

 You pray it all away but it continues to grow
