"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' or 'how very perceptive' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love." —Rose Walker

"This is love. When someone drags you from the wreckage when you have given in, ready to just lie there and die. This is love. When someone, no matter what the cost, shows you there is hope, a choice, that you can put down your gun. This is love. Love hurts." —Max Payne 2

"You couldn't convince him, could you? Kitamura doesn't see how much emotion you're hiding. He couldn't tell just how truly nice you are, deep down. And he doesn't have a clue how easily your heart can be crushed. Not one tiny iota of a clue. Now, I bet you're going to turn away... Hiding your emotions so that Kitamura can't see. You'll stagger away. Sobbing so quietly that no one can hear. You'll look for a place where nobody can see you. Only then will you finally let the tears fall." —Ryuji‍'‍s thoughts, after Taiga's confession to Yuusaku, Toradora! (manga)
