{"quotes":[{"text":"Listening to their argument made me aware of how empty my life was, and I hated the life I was living all the more. It was quite obvious to me this lady was deeply in love, for she was fighting for what she thought to be hers. Even though I was dating two females at the time, and stringing a third one along, yet I’ve yet to discover that kind of love. I guess this was why my favorite song was ‘I wane be love’, by the Jamaican reggae super star Buru Banton.","author":"Drexel Deal","tags":["argument","deeply-in-love","emptiness","faithfulness","hunger-within","infidelity","loneliness","love","relationships","searching-for-love","thug-life","true-friendship","true-love"],"id":19076,"author_id":"Drexel+Deal"},{"text":"He'd been saving up his love for years and years, waiting for the right personto spend his fortune on.","author":"John Mark Green","tags":["falling-in-love","looking-for-love","love","love","relationships","romantic","searching-for-love","single"],"id":93665,"author_id":"John+Mark+Green"},{"text":"Each of us is a story, waiting for a devoted reader who will take us off the shelf and embrace all our plot twists.","author":"John Mark Green","tags":["devoted-reader","love","love","people","plot-twists","about-love","searching-for-love","shelf","story"],"id":115438,"author_id":"John+Mark+Green"},{"text":"Gunner shook his head; he wasn't in the mood.

I'll be stuck buying gifts. Years pass: children, birthday parties. At dinner parties, I'll be odd man out, forcing people to arrange five chairs around a table instead of four or six. Or, okay, let's say maybe twenty years down the line I meet someone nice and I've already given up on ever finding true love. Let's say the girl is a few pounds overweight, has fizzy hair and an annoying laugh, but at this point, I'm also a few pounds overweight and my hair is thinning and my laughter is annoying.
