Quote by Dolly Alderton

“It's all so random and unfair - the people we want to be with don't want to be with us and the people who want to be with us are not the people we want to be with... I wish I'd known that it isn't anybody's job to stay in a relationship they don't want to be in just so someone else doesn't feel bad about themselves.”

If I had known that when I was younger, I wouldn't have wasted the effort: if I had known that her affection didn't depend on me.”

“Ask any random person, what do they look for in a partner – and most of them will say, emotional maturity. This is textbook shallowness. If we can't embrace each other's emotional vulnerability, we're better off with a hot water bottle.”
