All love is unrequited. All of it.

J. Michael Straczynski

Self-love seems so often unrequited.

Anthony Powell

He fell in love with himself at first sight, and it is a passion to which he has always remained faithful. Self-love seems so often unrequited.

Anthony Powell

I certainly don't think it's inevitable that we don't love children who don't carry our own DNA. If that were true we wouldn't have millions of successful adoptions to consider. I do think that it's harder to love a child when you come into that child's life after the unrequited passion of infancy and early childhood has passed.

Ayelet Waldman

I went to the University of Vermont because I had a kind of unrequited love for this high school girlfriend. She wasn't even at the University but at another school nearby. But I thought if went to a school near her, just maybe... I was really remedial about girls in so many ways.

Ben Affleck

When I was a kid, I knew the black and white version of 'Jane Eyre,' and I guess I became interested in the idea of romantic love - of unrequited love and the tragedies of that; of what are the important things in life; what should one value over other materials.

Cary Fukunaga

Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love.

Charles M. Schulz

I write about unrequited love in a very optimistic way.

Christine McVie

I know what it's like to be in unrequited love.

Courtney Act

Unrequited affection is very painful for the lover, but it can have unexpected, creative consequences.

Damon Galgut

People do incredible things for love, particularly for unrequited love.

Daniel Radcliffe

I love the ocean, wide-open space and trees, but I'm not a gardener or anything like that. I think I may be, eventually. I was raised in the city, so I don't have that skill set, but my heart is more with the dirt than the concrete. It's an unrequited love with nature - a one-way love affair.

David Duchovny

I am a recovering narcissist. I thought narcissism was about self-love till someone told me there is a flip side to it. It is actually drearier than self-love; it is unrequited self-love.

Emily Levine

All love is unrequited. All of it.

J. Michael Straczynski

I experienced unrequited love early.

Jane Hamilton

I wrote my first novel in eighth grade for a boy named Kenny on whom I had an unrequited crush and who sat behind me in social studies.

Kate Christensen

I was attracted to the comics because of the characters and, particularly, Wolverine because he is so complex. He is so damaged and tragic in many ways - he doesn't have his memory. His body was invaded. He has unrequited love for Jean Grey.

Lauren Shuler Donner

Unrequited love's a bore.

Lorenz Hart

We will cooperate with whoever is best... as long as they choose us as well. It cannot be merely unrequited love.

Lu Guanqiu

There's so many other things to write about than unrequited love.

Lucinda Williams

With 'Futurama,' I wanted to do unrequited love, and David Cohen agreed, and although our original plan was never to have Fry and Leela get together, we finally just said, 'You can only string the fans along so far.'
