Love Quote by Richard Bach

A romantic mic-drop disguised as a proverb, Bach's line works because it collapses plot into posture. "True love stories" borrows the language of fiction, then refuses fiction's most basic rule: endings. The subtext is both tender and a little defiant. If love is "true", it doesn't resolve neatly into a wedding, a breakup, or a final page. It keeps unfolding in memory, in habit, in the way a person changes you long after they leave.

Bach, as a novelist steeped in the late-20th-century spiritual-romantic register (Jonathan Livingston Seagull territory), isn't arguing for endless cohabitation so much as a kind of metaphysical continuity. The intent is to reframe love as something less like an event and more like a state of being: a relationship becomes an internal narrative that can outlive time, geography, even the relationship itself. That is why the phrase is built around "stories" rather than "relationships". Stories are retellable. They mutate with each recollection. They don't need the other person in the room to keep running.

There's also a shrewd cultural comfort embedded here. In an era that prizes closure and consumable arcs, "never have endings" reassures the bereaved, the divorced, the nostalgic: your love wasn't invalidated by its conclusion. The line flatters the reader into authorship, too. If your love is true, you're not stuck with a finished book; you're living in a serial, with meaning continuously revised.
