"There was no mistaking it -- it was a goodbye kiss. It was a 'This isn't working' kiss. It was a 'This is hurting me more than it's hurting you' kiss. All I could think was: This is the Last Kiss. She said that for a long time she'd felt that I wanted more from her than she had to give. She said I needed someone who could guarantee to be around forever. She said that, while she did love me, she didn't think that was enough anymore. She said that she was twenty-one and I was twenty-three and that we should both be living our lives to the full but instead we got stuck in a rut. She said that for a long time she'd had the feeling that we weren't going anywhere. I said nothing." - My Legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle

"'I realized I was falling in love and I didn't like it. I've only got to look at you to see what love can do. It's such a crap, pointless emotion. All that intensity, all that demanding, no one could voluntarily want to be in that sort of condition.'" - My Legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle

My mum actually said that to me, you know, after I was dumped by the person formerly known as 'my boyfriend.' There's me crying my heart out and all she was offering me by way of consolation was a fish metaphor.'" - My Legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
