“What? I took it because of the girls in the class. Anyway, I see a bit of a P and P dynamic going on between you and Payton."

J.D. didn't think he wanted to know. Really. But he asked anyway. "P and P?"

Tyler shot him a look, appalled. "Uh, hello--Pride and Prejudice?" His tone said only a cretin wouldn't know this.

"Oh right, P and P," J.D. said. "You know, Tyler, you might want to pick up your balls--I think they just fell right off when you said that.”
― Julie James, Practice Makes Perfect

“As far as boyfriends were concerned, I dated, had a lot of
meaningless relationships and that was pretty much it. It was really
hard to find a decent guy. A guy that would be worthwhile. They
were all great in the beginning, sweet and caring, sensitive and
romantic. But if you scratched deeper, you would find NOTHING.
Plenty of nothing. Sometimes one might even be surprised just how
much nothing there was, but not me. No. Somehow, I had learned
to brace myself for the worst. But, to be honest, it wasn’t always
the case. Some of the guys weren’t that empty beneath the surface,
some even proved to be quite the opposite. True-Prince-charming
kind of guys... And their girlfriends! They were even more charming
princesses when they found out. Well, I guess we all have our little
flaws... So, after some time, I was finally coming to terms with the
genuine truth that there was no such thing as a perfect boyfriend.
On the other hand, Melina was waiting for her prince on a
white horse, and was honestly expecting him to show up single. No
matter how many times I’d tried to convince her that all a girl gets
from that prince-on-a-white-horse fairytale is actually and inevitably
a horse and no prince, she never believed that.”

“Listen, Elena, after high school I left and I had a lot of
relationships and nothing seemed right to me. But I remembered
you often. You can say that we were kids back then and that that
was kids’ stuff... and maybe it was. But now, when I am not a child
anymore, there isn’t a doubt in me that it simply has to be you or no
one else. I don’t want you to be the one that got away, at least not
without a fight.”
― Danka V., The Unchosen Life

“Let me clarify something for you, Damon. There is the simple
present tense, which is used to describe things that take place in the
present, simple past tense that describes things that occurred in the
past. And then there is the tense that is used to describe the chances
something has to happening. You should know about it, you just
used it. It is called the simply impossible tense.”
― Danka V., The Unchosen Life

“It’s not
your fault that your brain is reduced to the size of one neuron and
that it itself is being annihilated by the loneliness.”
― Danka V., The Unchosen Life

“What irritated me most in that entire situation was the fact that I
wasn’t feeling humiliated, or annoyed, or even fooled. Betrayal was
what I felt, my heart broken not just by a guy I was in love with, but
also by, as I once believed, a true friend.”
― Danka V., The Unchosen Life

“He called and we saw each other from time to time, but the
distance did what it always does - it grew us apart.”
― Danka V., The Unchosen Life

“Every night I went to bed promising myself I would tell him
goodbye in the morning and leave. But along with the mornings
always came new reasons to delay that, new places to see. I knew I
was only making excuses for myself, but there was no one to
reproach me, so I figured it was OK.”
― Danka V., The Unchosen Life

“I know you will do what your heart tells you,” he added

And I did. Not what my head was whispering, but what my
heart was shouting. I put my arms around his neck pulling him
closer.”
