Quotes from "The Secret Life of Prince Charming" by Deb Caletti

"Love with Roy is peaceful. I thought something was wrong, it was so peaceful. Then I realized that what was wrong was that for the first time, it was right. No big scenes, no crying, no clinging and plotting and scheming to keep him. It just is"

"
I want to rewrite that part of the Bible... Corinthians something... the one that goes, 'Love is patient, love is kind,' etc.... So: Love is ease, love is comfort, love is support and respect. Love is not punishing or controlling. Love lets you grow and breathe. Love's passion is only good passion - swirling leaves on a fall day passion, a sky full of magnificent stars passion - not angst and anxiety. Love is not hurt and harm. Love is never unsafe. Love is sleeping like puzzle pieces..."

"I found out that a healthy relationship isn't so much about a sense of humor or intelligence or attraction... it's about being with a good person. A good person on his own and a good person with you. Where the space between you feels uncomplicated and happy. A good relationship is where things just work. The work because, whatever the list of qualities, whatever the reason, you happen to be really, really good together."
