| #80: | Common addictions: drugs, alcohol, cigs, caffeine, TV, video games, music, shopping, sports, sex, porn, religion, travel, food, love... |
| #88: | I love watching TV in a language I don't understand. It's the same crap as in America, so I know what's being said almost telepathically! |
| #124: | There's a fine line between love and enabling. |
| #151: | For all the rock climbers, sky divers, extreme skiers and hang glider pilots who tragically died doing the sport they loved: DUH! - #danger #risk |
| #264: | Romantic advice comes in two flavors: "Trust your feelings" and "Trust no one." Can't there be a middle ground? |
| #289: | The #1 risk of romantic commitment is that your mate becomes a perpetual child addicted to your protection. |
| #292: | The choice of a romantic partner should never be made out of sympathy. |
| #351: | It's easy to say, "I love my town/career/spouse," if you never experience any other. All is fine when you stay within your comfort zone. |
| #425: | My love for you may be unconditional, but my interactions with you are not. |
| #474: | As soon as a sperm fertilizes the egg, rapid changes on the egg's surface prevent any other sperm from entering. That's love! |
| #485: | I love being cornered by Mormon missionaries or Jehovah's Witnesses. I start preaching to them, and soon THEY'RE squirming to get away! - #religion |
| #503: | I don't see what's so romantic about the wild horse in America. It was an invasive species brought here by the Spanish! |
| #510: | I can think of nothing less romantic than a motorcycle ride across America. That's 2500 miles of shit in your face. |
| #513: | Adults seek an audience in friends, co workers, romance. When that's not enough acknowledgment, they seek fame, power. |
| #515: | The need for witnesses is more powerful than the need for love. Being noticed for the bad things you're doing is better than no notice. |
| #520: | Romance is a conundrum. We seek the perfect witness, so we idolize potential partners, but this delusion is bound to crash with experience. |
| #538: | People in the north claim they love the "four seasons." Bull! It's only because they live in a climate-controlled bubble. |
| #539: | It's easy to say you love winter when you rarely have to experience it directly. Try it as Mother Nature intended: freezing your butt off! |
| #554: | Narcissism isn't self-love as much as self-centeredness, where you cannot grasp the needs of others. |
| #604: | The downside of love is the loss of control over your own destiny. |
| #607: | In Country music, life is superficial: Love is good, breaking up bad, traditions wholesome, broken hearts tragic... BOR-ing! |
| #613: | The early days of romance are fun - the exploratory phase when anything seems possible. Then new defenses are erected and you see it's not. |
| #658: | My spy photos from the Adam & Eve™ Romance Superstore, St. Augustine, Florida (taken an hour ago) http://bit.ly/AwbNN - So this is romance? |
| #682: | I have so many people to thank for this great honor: my mom, my dad, my lovely wife and above all my Wal-Mart for its Low Prices... Always! |
| #685: | There's only one reason a mega music star goes on tour: for the money. If they truly loved music they'd be making it, not repeating it. |
| #713: | "Write what you love, but don't be in love with what you write." @genebrady |
| #730: | Love can be wonderful at first, but we expect too much of it. It can't usually survive the weight of all we ask it to do. |
| #732: | The temptation of love is to use it as a substitute for finding our own individual identity. |
| #754: | Okay, I've tired of Aegina already. My camera loved it but needs a nap. Back to Athens. |
| #993: | If a sentimental dipshit like Manilow can write the songs, I can too! http://lovestrangely.com |
| #1012: | It is unfair to blame the opposite gender for your own failures in love. Gays fail just as badly and in exactly the same ways. |
| #1014: | We construct our own romantic disasters. The opposite gender just fulfills them for us. |
| #1020: | In love, as in cell phone contracts, pay-as-you-go is usually preferable to long commitments. |
| #1024: | It can be a great ego boost to know you chose the right religion and that God loves you the best. Lucky you! |
| #1025: | Breaking News from The Onion: China Strong! http://bit.ly/2KA1NS - Americans Love Fish By-Product! http://bit.ly/V5jZ4 - LMAO! |
| #1080: | If you flash at fireflies with a penlight, you can sometimes get them to flash back (and totally screw up their love life). |
| #1084: | My new photos from "Freedom Tour 2009" http://bit.ly/16Ej8W - Inspiring America in a right wing Love Bus. |
| #1175: | Young people in love think they have things all worked out, but time will teach them otherwise. |
| #1176: | It is remarkable how quickly the magic of love can slip away and you're stuck in the endless grind of paying bills and fulfilling promises. |
| #1177: | To keep your love alive, you have to keep things light and uncommitted. No promises, no material commitments. Just enjoy the moment. |
| #1178: | You can't prove love by killing free will. |
| #1184: | My assembled wisdom on Love and Romance: http://bit.ly/3Rkx97 (from my Twitter archive) |
| #1206: | Slate: "Seeking: How the brain hard-wires us to love Google, Twitter, and texting." http://bit.ly/bf7xu (8/12) What the brain wants. - #consciousness |
| #1269: | I have just released my first love song (albeit a bit obsessive): "Can't Stop Thinkin" - http://bit.ly/91Nca |
| #1328: | An "anal retentive" is an inflexible hard-ass who is so ungiving to world that he can't even surrender his own shits. Lovely imagery! |
| #1374: | Looking back on our own romantic obsessions, we are bound to exclaim, "I can't believe I fell for that!" |
| #1404: | The connundrum of romance is that once you are committed to someone, you're also imprisoned with them. |
| #1485: | Observation of married couples suggests their main activity is home acquisition, maintenance, improvement and decoration. That must be love! |
| #1530: | I love the smell of sarcasm in the morning! Like coffee brewing and bacon cooking, waking up wouldn't be the same without some icy words. |
| #1562: | The politics of love: Everyone wants the "best" romantic partner but, more importantly, one who won't threaten one's ego. |
| #1702: | Love is a continuous struggle between loneliness on one side and engulfment on the other. |
| #1723: | Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: a story of discrimination. They love you only with the right nose and approval of The Man. |
| #1746: | Romance is no place for charity. The relationship has to pay it's own way! |
| #1764: | I LOVE the trailers for "Up the the Air": http://bit.ly/7Tmzz9 - Sounds like my life! |
| #1799: | Those without a romantic relationship long for one. Those with a relationship, after the honeymoon, dream silently of being free. |
| #1803: | Falling in love with someone is the best guarantee that you won't be able to change them. |
| #1805: | Love is possible, but there will always be limits on how deeply you can dive into it. Go too deep and you'll drown! |
| #1826: | Romance creates a mythology around the one you love. The delusion has to collapse sooner or later. |
| #1899: | Those who claim to love snow do so only because they can afford a resource-intensive, fossil-fueled cocoon to shield themselves from it. |
| #1944: | People aren't necessarily attracted to the "best" romantic partner but the one who is the least threat to their ego. |
| #1990: | In a natural disaster, sending your love and support via FB or Twitter doesn't actually improve anything. Either send material aid or STFU! |
| #2059: | I love/hate Wal-Mart™ passionately. Evil, yes, but look at these low prices! |
| #2108: | "Marriage is romantic story in which the hero dies in the first chapter!" @Abhiness |
| #2185: | Adult personality cannot be changed from the outside, especially within the scope of romance. Change may happen, but only after you're gone. |
| #2189: | Love isn't proven if it is enforced by marriage. |
| #2200: | Love can't be proven if it is enforced by marriage. |
| #2277: | Low self-esteem encourages the belief that others are capable of more than they are, especially in giving you unlimited love and attention. |
| #2295: | "All you need is love. And Valentine's Day is the perfect time to buy lots of things to prove it." @badbanana |
| #2351: | Free will dies the moment you say "forever". From that point on, love is a contract, not a choice. |
| #2375: | Many a prison was built on the rock of love. |
| #2384: | The fundamental conflict of romance is when the heart says yes but the brain says no. Who do you believe? |
| #2385: | Romantic bonding is when you start looking around for your partner like a toddler for his mommy. Stay away too long and you start to cry. |
| #2386: | What we call "falling in love" is the brain rearranging itself to bond with a new parent. Soon you're following them around like a duckling. |
| #2387: | Romance turns violent when the relationship is failing but the physiological bond is still there. It's a desperate attempt to regain love. |
| #2435: | Love is like the question Captain Kirk asks the evil robot to make the robot blow all its circuits. You'll go mad if you're too logical. |
| #2447: | Life works in cycles: boom & bust, love & divorce. People are caught off guard when they haven't lived long enough yet to see a full cycle. |
| #2475: | There may be some romance associated with "the common man", but you still want to limit your contact with him. Turns out he's an idiot! |
| #2505: | On my bucket list: Get a tattoo to express my undying love for my girlfriend only to have her leave me two weeks later. |
| #2519: | Go ahead, shit in the woods. The woods loves it: fertilizer! (No so thrilled with the pee though.) |
| #2551: | The most romantic gesture is not flowers or kisses but a word that shows someone understands you. |
| #2555: | The preferable penalty for a romantic mistake is being nice to them for the rest of your life. |
| #2578: | Boring but true: The romantic relationship most likely to last is when both partners resemble each other in everything but gender. |
| #2694: | "I love carrots." @RhodiHawk - But carrots are so secretive and deceptive. You can't understand them 'til you pull em up by the roots. |
| #2705: | A romantic relationship should not be confused with a parental one. It should continue only as long as it is mutually beneficial. |
| #2786: | People don't necessarily choose the "best" romantic partner. They choose the one who is the least threat to their ego. |
| #2848: | What we see at first as love often becomes a prison. |
| #2857: | Your "theory of love" guides your romantic life. At first, it is naïve and narcissistic, but disaster will refine it — if you survive. |
| #2866: | On my bucket list: Have every twist and turn of my love life chronicled on the covers of supermarket tabloids. |
| #2947: | There's a fine line between love and strangulation. |
| #2968: | Love those handicapped toilet stalls! Spread out, set a spell, use the WiFi! Unless you see a cane or wheelchair, the place is yours! |
| #2975: | On my bucket list: Assure my romantic partner that one little baby won't be any problem at all. |
| #2978: | Someone needs to explain this to me: what love is and how you know when you're in or out of it. |
| #3018: | Trying to capture love with marriage is like displaying a wild animal on your wall. As soon as you have nailed it down, you've killed it. |
| #3075: | Soaking your brain in drugs or alcohol suggests you don't have much respect for it. Would you throw sand in the gas tank of a car you loved? |
| #3096: | Love is harmless. The obligations that come with it are not. |
| #3186: | Love gives you permission to share — and abuse with impunity. |
| #3273: | Even after years of research and testing, there is still no clean-burning form of love. |
| #3274: | The first phase of love is exploratory. That sustains you a while, until everything is known; the mystique is gone, and love becomes work. |
| #3284: | The dark side of love is attachment that lasts long after the relationship has lost its function. |
| #3341: | Elvis, we love you! You were a pathetic wretch when alive, but now that you're dead, you're our god! (Best career move he ever made.) |
| #3361: | Failed romances are one of life's great classrooms. You learn how people really work and how fantasy differs from fact. |
| #3370: | If you think you're doomed at romance because you're an idiot, don't despair. Somewhere out there is the perfect idiot just for you! |
| #3427: | Mature love means learning how to deal with manipulation, addiction, co-dependence and all the other demons riding on the tails of romance. |
| #3442: | Celebrity holds the false promise of perfect and unlimited love. Narcissists are drawn to it like moths to the flame. |
| #3467: | histrionic — given to overly dramatic emotional behavior. Usually exhibited by only one romantic partner, the other being their enabler. |
| #3497: | Marriage means loss of personal control and negotiating power. Suddenly, love isn't a choice but an obligation. |
| #3516: | The implicit message of marriage is, "I don't trust you." If your love was so secure, why would it need this public declaration? |
| #3518: | The only trouble with love and understanding is it can't stand up to thugs and despots, who feel no compulsion to return the favor. |
| #3554: | "Sometimes I'm not sure if I love you or if I've been here so long the Stockholm Syndrome is kicking in." @Paxochka - Aren't they the same? |
| #3597: | The thing none of us is prepared for is how love can turn into a prison. |
| #3665: | RT @TIME: Study shows narcissists love Facebook the most | http://su.pr/16rsIs |
| #3669: | He died doing what he loved best — taking foolish risks. |
| #3685: | If only we could see love with the clarity of those who are not in love. |
| #3686: | Love puts lipstick on a pig and insists it's not a pig -- and we believe it! |
| #3696: | The biggest delusion of romance is, "I can change him (her)." |
| #3697: | iPhone - the perfect lover. So responsive and yet so undemanding. |
| #3827: | RT @BadDalaiLama: There are no unconditional relationships. You have to fight for what you want, even from those you love. |
| #3831: | Love alone cannot bear the weight of all we ask it to do. |
| #3854: | RT @BadDalaiLama: Looking back on our own romantic obsessions, we are bound to exclaim, "I can't believe I fell for that!" |
