This is not so much of a quote but an excerpt from a book. What the author pointed out echoes strongly the state of mind I was in when I came across it. Putting it down here for future reference 
“If I’m single, I either obsessively try to change that – basing decision on if I think my Mr Right might be there, pondering the men my friends know and wondering if I should ask them to set me up – or masochistically trying to confirm my fear that I’m the last single person on earth, scanning Facebook for evidence that people I haven’t thought about in years are coupled off and have children. But all this energy I’ve been exerting on trying to control my feelings about the matter [...] has, I now see, been an utter waste of time. There’s so much more than romance in the world: There are friends and food and laughter and sights and smells and sounds and delicious, crispy, patata bravas, and the more I focus on my love life to the exclusion of all those other things, the smaller my world becomes.”
