Obsessive Love Quotes

“I love you. I hate you. I like you. I hate you. I love you. I think you’re stupid. I think you’re a loser. I think you’re wonderful. I want to be with you. I don’t want to be with you. I would never date you. I hate you. I love you…..I think the madness started the moment we met and you shook my hand. Did you have a disease or something?”
― Shannon L. Alder

“Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins.
My sin, my soul.
Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth.
Lo. Lee. Ta.
She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock.
She was Lola in slacks.
She was Dolly at school.
She was Dolores on the dotted line.
But in my arms she was always Lolita.”
― Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

“I reason everything out, and usually analyze my tastes too well to succumb to them blindly. And that's my chief defect, the real cause of my weakness. But this woman has taken possession of me in spite of myself, in spite of my fear and my knowledge of her; and she possesses me as if she had plucked out, one after the other, my every last aspiration.”
― Guy de Maupassant, Alien Hearts

“She looks so innocent but I know that she can ruin me with one look, one touch. She already has.”
― Olivia T. Turner, Mine

“You've got the wrong girl."

"On the contrary..." the voice murmured, "I've got exactly the girl I want." Her body turned to ice. Her mind fought for calm. There were people only yards away, yet she was alone...

"You're bleeding." Lips closed over hers. A kiss so passionate that time faded and stopped... so passionate, it sucked her breath away... Searing heat swept through her- pain and pleasure throbbing through her veins. With a helpless moan, she leaned into him and realized with a shock the kiss had ended.”
― Richie Tankersley Cusick, The Unseen

“She realized in an instant that being around him awakened her, stirring the sediment that had long ago settled at the bottom of her well. He made her feel a part of him, of something larger, and somehow more alive.”
― Luna Saint Claire, The Sleeping Serpent

“Don't come, I was thinking now. Wherever you are, stay there. Because with her reduced to a fantasy, I could imagine a wonderful meeting. I could see her smiling, tossing her red-haired head, staring at me with inquisitive eyes. I'd say something meaningful to her, and she'd melt for me. Reality could not live up to that.”
― Scott Adlerberg, Graveyard Love

“She enticed me in my days. She allured me in my nights. She bewitched me in myriad unknown ways.”

“I never noticed anything but you
But you but you
So that I couldn't sleep”
― Dorothea Lasky, Rome: Poems

“My reflections amount to a love story that is mostly made up, from memories that are mostly false, between people who were mainly not there. The things for which she was not there have her in them now more deeply because of her absence, and her effect on my way of seeing them. Anytime I note her absence from a thing, she arrives at once, as if summoned, entrenching herself more deeply than she exists in my memories of times when she was there, so that time, the sequence of what really happened, seems to curve around her.”
― Olivia Sudjic, Sympathy

“Now I think that just to be in the same room as you is adventure enough, that your friendship would be more exciting than most people’s love. All my good intentions left me the minute I set eyes on you today, and I know that even if I tell you to go now, sooner or later I’ll come crawling back like a spaniel begging for any crumb you might throw me. I know that my love for you will make me lie my way into your friendship, that I’ll deny the very fact of its existence just for the joy of seeing you.’ She looked away, suddenly self-conscious. ‘It’s ironic, isn’t it? I don’t want you to change at all, but I’ll become whatever I have to just to be near you—I’ll even be your friend.”
― Nicola Upson, Two for Sorrow

“All I ever wanted was love, until you loved me.”
― Joey Comeau

“The requiem mass is not at all gay," Erik's voice resumed, "whereas the wedding mass- you can take my word for it- is magnificent! You must take a resolution and know your own mind! I can't go on living like this, like a mole in a burrow! Don Juan Triumphant is finished; and now I want to live like everybody else. I want to have a wife like everybody else and to take her out on Sundays. I have invented a mask that makes me look like anybody. People will not even turn round in the streets. You will be the happiest of women. And we will sing, all by ourselves, till we swoon away with delight. You are crying! You are afraid of me! And yet I am not really wicked. Love me and you shall see! All I wanted was to be loved for myself. If you loved me I should be as gentle as a lamb; and you could do anything with me that you pleased.”
― Gaston Leroux, The Phantom of the Opera

“I have these two different images of her etched into my memory: one as this idealized mother, and the other as a sort of pressure weighing down on me - obsessive, feminine love.”
― Banana Yoshimoto, The Lake

“I do love you, Sienna, but to me, you’re more than just the woman I love: You’re the dream that I’ve been chasing, the dream I’ve been fighting my whole life for, and if you’re going to turn into a nightmare, then I will end you.”
― Priden Queen

“I always saw her. I knew her better than anyone. So if my colleague is right and we’re doomed to write what we know, then I’ve condemned myself to a thousand lifetimes with this woman, because for me, there’s never been anyone else.”
― Nenia Campbell, Little Deaths

“How do you know it's love and not obsession?”
― Jeffrey Brown, Clumsy

“You have haunted me in my dreams,
Followed me in my memory,
And enamoured me…
…Nirvana…
Your name echoes in the most silent parts of my mind,
Brought to life by the memory of your touch, And the gentle sway of our bodies to the jazz music
You have become my obsession,
Of which I will never tire.

Salvatore”

“I ignore him. I never look at him or speak to him and change my phone number. It’s the only way to deal with an obsessive.”
― Viv Albertine, Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys

“From the moment that I lost her, from the time a massive wall, a damp dam without an opening, as heavy as lead, was erected between us, I felt as if my life has become forever meaningless and lost. Even if my caressing gaze and the deep pleasure I took in seeing her were one-sided and unrequited, it was only because she had not seen me. But I needed these eyes, and one look from her was enough to solve all philosophical problems and riddles of the divine - one look from her and secrets and riddles no longer had any meaning for me.”
― Sadegh Hedayat, The Blind Owl

“Jay was neither a small woman, nor a passive one, which suited Nick just fine because he had no use for either. No, underneath all that cool reserve of hers was something hot and bright that he wanted all to himself, something that infused her moral correctitude with a warmth that belied her restraint.

He looked up to find her watching him and very deliberately pressed his mouth to the back of her hand before allowing her to free it. That was the price. Control—or the absence of it.

He was going to make her lose it all.”
― Nenia Campbell, Quid Pro Quo

“Let death come for me," I told them. Contempt filled their gaze; they labeled me crazy.
Then they saw me drinking my poison from her lips, and they envied my fate.”
― Wiss Auguste

“Jesus,” he breathed, and his forehead fell to hers. “It's like I invented you. Where have you been all my life?” “In the deepest parts of hell, waiting for you.”
― Stylo Fantome, Church

“Love is cruel, Nadine,” he said, in that soft, vicious voice. “Possessive. Unforgiving. If you open your heart to it, you’ll get it ripped out. I find it rather tragic that you romantics lay yourselves down in these honeyed traps, only to get eaten alive by what you claim to want the most.”
― Nenia Campbell, Raise the Blood

“You’re coming with me.”
“Like hell I am!”
“It’s not safe out here for a young inexperienced girl like you. You’ll come back to my cabin. You’ll stay with me.”
I violently shake my head from side to side as I cross my arms in defiance. “No, I won’t.”
“This isn’t a request.” His tone comes out rougher and is oozing with dominance. “You’ll come with me or I’ll tie you up and carry you over my shoulder.”
“Then I guess you better get the rope, Tarzan, because I’m not going anywhere.”
We stare at each other for a long tense moment and then he steps forward with a determined look on his face.”
― Olivia T. Turner, Mountain Man Taken

“You asked me if I feel, and I do,” my eyes met his intense ones, the grey soulless orbs that rarely showing anything, “but only when I’m with you.”

“I could have the world’s best painter try to recreate what I’m looking at right now,” he began, those soulless eyes looking across my face, unbothered by whatever I had to say, “and he could never truly capture you as beautiful as you are right now, my little mouse.”
