"when I cry, I close my eyes and every tear falls down inside... and I pray with all my might that I will find my heart in someone's arms." - Jann Arden, 'hangin' by a thread'

"I have often heard it said that the thing you want appears when you least expect it, after you have totally given up hope. But, deep in my heart, I can sense that I have not really given up hope. Which makes me wonder if my allowing hope to live is what is clogging up the plumbing. On the one hand, I think that maybe if I start to admit that 'yes, I am in the Hole. I have finally given up hope,' then that very admission will speed up the process of sending a healthy relationship my way. And on the other hand, I worry that the very act of forcing myself to prematurely give up hope in the name of speeding things up is in fact an act of hope. Either way I'm screwed." - It's My F---ing Birthday by Merrill Markoe

"Everyone always wants the fairy tale...not me, I just want forever."

"Sometimes it feels like, no matter how much success I have, it's not gonna matter until I find the right guy. I could have made it work, he really fit the bill, you know. White collar, 6'1, college grad, loves dogs, likes funny movies, brown hair, kind eyes, works in finance but is outdoorsy. I always imagined he'd have a single syllable name like Matt or John or Dave. In a perfect world, he drives a 4 runner and the only thing he loves more than me is his golden lab. And a nice smile." - Up In The Air

"'I'd like the kind of love that lasts forever. It doesn't matter if it's plain, it doesn't matter if it's ugly. It just has to be there.'" - My Legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle

"I'm not shooting for a successful relationship at this point; I'm just looking for something that will prevent me from throwing myself in front of a bus. I'm keeping my expectations very very low."

"I want somebody who can hold my interest; hold it and never let it fall. Someone who can flatten me with a kiss that hits like a fist -- or a sentence, that stops me like a brick wall." - Ani DiFranco, 'asking too much'

"I am not the kind of girl who thinks a guy is the answer to everything... I'm just tired of being alone." - My So-Called Life

"I am good but I'm not an angel, I do sin but I'm not the devil, I have friends but I'm not a peacemaker, I am pretty but I'm not beautiful, For I am only a little girl in a big world looking for someone to love." - Marilyn Monroe

"What I want is to be needed. What I need is to be indispensable to somebody. Who I need is somebody to that will eat up all my free time, my ego, my attention. Somebody addicted to me. A mutual addiction."
