"Life teaches us that love comes in many forms."

"A woman's strength is not in how much she can endure, but in knowing her limits."

"I'm looking for love, real love, ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love."

"You can't change who you are, but you can change what you do. And that does matter."

"There is an unspoken rule in the female community that you don't sleep with the guy your friend just broke up with."

"The problem is, when you're young, you believe you can change people."

"You have to believe in the possibility of happy endings."

"I think I'm fabulous, and if you don't like it, that's your problem."

"Some people feel like if you give them an inch, they're going to take a mile."

"Real relationships are about compromise and understanding."

"I won't compromise my values for anyone."

"Sometimes you have to let go of what you thought would make you happy."

"Marriage is about partnership, not possession."

"I've learned that being alone is not the same as being lonely."

"What matters most is who you become in the process."

"I believe in second chances, but not third ones."

"You can't force someone to love you the way you want to be loved."

"The best revenge is living well."

"I've always believed in the power of a good conversation."

"Your friends are your soulmates."

"Life is too short to spend it with the wrong person."
