“Forget men, I want to marry my MacBook. It’s dependable, reliable and you can even go shopping with it.” ― Alexandra Potter, You're The One That I Don't Want
“Everyone dreams of finding their soulmate. It's a universal quest. All over the world millions of people are looking for their true love, their amore thier ame soeur, that one special person with whom they will spend the rest of their life.And I'm no different.Except it doesn't happen for everyone. Some people spend their whole life looking and never find that person. It's the luck of the draw.If, by some miracle, you're lucky enough to meet the ONE, whatever you do, don't let them go.

“And so taking the long way home through the market I slow my pace down. It doesn't come naturally. My legs are programmed to trot briskly and my arms to pump up and down like pistons, but I force myself to stroll past the stalls and pavement cafes. To enjoy just being somewhere, rather than rushing from somewhere, to somewhere. Inhaling deep lungfuls of air, instead of my usual shallow breaths. I take a moment to just stop and look around me. And smile to myself.For the first time in a long time, I can, quite literally, smell the coffee.” ― Alexandra Potter, The Two Lives of Miss Charlotte Merryweather
“I am a hopeless romantic. A silly, ridiculous, foolish romantic. I live in a fantasy land. I need to get real. And now, for the first time, I want to get real.

“Life can change in the blink of an eye. All you have is right now. So don’t ever put off telling someone how you feel about them, don’t assume that they know, because they might not and it might be too late.” ― Alexandra Potter
“For a split second they stared at each other. A fleeting, lasting moment. One person noticing another person out of a whole crowd of strangers.” ― Alexandra Potter, Calling Romeo

“And like a soprano shattering glass, Juliet heard something snap deep inside.It was the sound of her heart breaking.” ― Alexandra Potter, Calling Romeo
“consider the implications. We think we know what we want, but we can never really know until we've got it. And sometimes when we have, we discover we never really wanted it in the first place - but then it's too late” ― Alexandra Potter, Be Careful What You Wish For
“Juliet shook her head. The thought of eating anything made her feel nauseous. "No thanks, I'm not hungry.""Oh yeah, the heartbreak diet," nodded Trudy sagely. "Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt.” ― Alexandra Potter, Calling Romeo
“Their eyes met. It had begun. They had begun.” ― Alexandra Potter, Calling Romeo
