Quote by John Green

I fell in love like you fall asleep, slowly, then all at once.

I fell in love like you fall asleep, slowly, then all at onc

Summary

This quote describes the way love can unexpectedly overwhelm someone, much like falling asleep. Love often begins gradually and steadily, until suddenly it fully consumes one's heart and mind. Just as sleep can gradually sweep someone away before suddenly taking hold completely, so too does love slowly and then suddenly capture one's emotions and bring them into a state of deep affection or infatuation.
