If you think you love me, then you don’t know what love is,' Gabriel said. 'Love has to be reciprocated for it to be real.
A happy love needs to be reciprocated.
Love is never wasted, even if it is not reciprocated.
She didn't like to be talked about. Equally, she didn't like not to be talked about, when the high-minded chatter rushed on as though she was not there. There was no pleasing her, in fact. She had the grace, even at eleven, to know there was no pleasing her. She thought a lot, analytically, about other people's feelings, and had only just begun to realize that this was not usual, and not reciprocated.
If God created us in his own image, we have more than reciprocated.
Love has to be reciprocated for it to be real.
When their love was not reciprocated, it could quickly turn to violent hatred.
If only the strength of the love that people feel when it is reciprocated could be as intense and obsessive as the love we feel when it is not; then marriages would be truly made in heaven.
