Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be. - Robert Browning

You wrote me a beautiful letter, I wonder if you meant it to be as beautiful as it was. I think you did; for somehow I know that your feeling for me, however slight it is, is of the nature of love...When you tell me to come, I will come, by the next train, just as I am.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up these defenses, you build this whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life. You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They do something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own any more. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination, not just in the mind. It's a soul hurt, a body hurt... gets inside you and rips you apart pain. I hate love. - Neil Gaiman

In no other game but love can you make all the right moves and still lose. - Neil Lowe

I believed in love for a while. Now I believe in love kinda like I believe in the lottery. It's always happening to someone else. - Anon

Do you want me to tell you something subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more. - Erica Jong

Death has never been so feared as the day love was born. - Anon

-----------------------------------------------

Anything less than mad, passionate, extraordinary love is a waste of time. There are too many mediocre things in life to deal with, and love shouldn't be one of them. - Frankie
 
The love we give away, is the only love we keep. - Elbert Hubbard
 
Women, aren't they perfect? It doesn't matter if they're fat, skinny, blond, or blue. If a woman is willing to give you her love, Harvard, it's the greatest gift in the world. Makes you taller, makes you smarter, makes your teeth shine. Boy-oh-boy women are perfect, perfect joy and perfect ache. Joy when you first meet them and get to know them. Ache when you leave them. Joy. Ache. Joy. Ache. Joyachejoyachejoyachejoyache. - Joe Peshi
 
The honorary duty of a human being is to love. - Maya Angelou
 
Love is fed by the imagination, by which we become wiser than we know, better than we feel, nobler than we are; by which we can see life as a whole: by which and which alone, we can understand others in their real as in their ideal relations. - Oscar Wilde
 
Approach love and life with reckless abandon. - Dalai Lama
 
I want to crawl into a world of pillows with you, and just be. - Anon
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
The conflict between the reason and love kills the heart, the same as the country will be demolished if the civil war starts. - Muniz Avazbay
 
Hold tenderly that which you cherish, for it is precious and a tight grip may crush it. Do not let the fear of dropping it cause you to hold it too tightly: the chances are, it's holding you, too. - Bob Alberti
 
Jason, the night roars into my ears now...can you hear it? - Anon
 
Love truth, but pardon error. - Voltaire
 
If you choose not to return, I will understand. Your absence will be of my own doing. But at the same time my existence will be utterly miserable without you by my side. I will shiver, for you are my warmth - I will be lonely, for you are my friend - I will be lost, for you are my guide. Everything good in me, no matter how small, you discover. I long to see your smile in the morning, to feel your touch in the evening. Please, Kathryn, return and grant me your forgiveness. - Cameron Wright
 
Some pursue happiness - others create it. - Anon
 
Regrets are as personal as fingerprints. - Margaret Culkin Banning
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
My love for him was so exquisitely pure that if we all were capable of giving and receiving such a beautiful gift, the world would be a far more brilliant place; I think we'd all be poets. - Elizabeth Barrett
 
Music is like painting in sound. You take it into your inner heart and never lose it. It's eternally mysterious. - Van Cliburn
 
Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh. - W.H. Auden

Our love was a kiss attempt of two people wearing glasses. Putting them off didn't come to our minds. - Sadi

Love is like a fire, it crackles and lights up, sometimes burning out immediatly, sometimes never dying...but most of the time it just flames up and then burns nearly out, leaving a single flame, of which you could relight it and keep it going for eternity on. Even the tiniest flame can turn into a wildfire. - Anon

I feel like falling in love with the first woman I meet, putting her in a wheel-barrow and wheeling her down the street. - Bob Dylan

 


 

There are two types of compassion. One - is faint-hearted and sentimental. Actually, it is nothing more than impatience of the heart, that is hurrying to get rid of that hard feeling when you see other peoples' sufferings; this is not a compassion, but just an instinct will to defence yourself from misfortunes of others. But there is another compassion - real one, that demands for actions, not sentiments, it knows what it wants, and it is full of determination to do everything, what is in human power and even beyond it. - Stephan Zveig

What good is a heart, if it does not break? - Jason Quek

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born. - Anais Nin

People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering. - Saint Augustine

The man flew in red summer and she handed him whispers for a castle. The night owls have peace and sadness on their watch, but he worships her lies and thinks it is for the best. - Chris McQinn
 
Passion gives us our greatest moments, the joy of love, the clarity of hatred, the ecstasy of grief. - Anon
 
In love you must...Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible. - Kendra Brown
 
There are only 4 questions of any value in this life, Don Octavio; what is sacred, of what is the spirit made, what is worth living for and what is worth dying for ? The answer to each is the same - only love. - Johnny Depp

One night when my longing for her was like a fire burning out of control in my heart and my head, I wrote her a letter that just seemed to go on and on. I poured out my whole heart in it, never looking back to see what I’d said because I was afraid cowardice would make me stop. I didn’t stop, and when a voice in my head clamored that it would be madness to mail such a letter, that I would be giving her my naked heart to hold in her hand, I ignored it with a child’s breathless disregard of the consequences. - Stephen King

Perhaps we all give the best of our hearts, uncritically--to those who hardly think of us in return. - T.H. White

What makes something special is not just what you have to gain, but what you feel there is to lose. - Andre Agassi

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Love is not forced. It does not exist because we want it to, or because we make it so, or because we have to. It comes like an arrow on dreadful wings, sweeping down and piercing us when we weren't expecting it, because if we saw it coming, we would have deflected it and beat it away with a vengeance. And when it hits us, pierces us, it bleeds us. Leave the arrow in, patch your heart around it, and in time you'll learn to live with love. The arrow. Pull it out, and every day you'll bleed a little harder, and die a little more. - Anon

RED: You know what I love about you?

KITTY: What?

RED: Lots of stuff.

- Author Unknown -

When you love someone, you give them part of your heart, and at that moment, your heart is broken. It is ironic that you can't feel the pain until they give you back that piece of your heart and you try to put it back together again. - Anon
 
I don't compare my relationships to song lyrics for the simple fact that most true "love" songs create a vision of utopia, a sense of perfection...and in reality, true love isn't about perfection, but rather imperfection. - Charlene Nielsen
 
If I could die and come back as anything, it would be as one of your tears. What more would I want than to be conceived in your heart, born in your eyes, live on your cheeks and die on your lips? - Anon
 
...after a while, you realise that it's such a waste of time and effort to be continually on the look-out for Miss Perfect. We can reap better returns by concentrating on making our current relationships work. - Karl Ho
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
You can't have roots and wings, Mel. - Anon
 
On who the flies landed without being chased away by that person, was on her way to death - this was one of the unmistakable signs. From that time on, I think, dates my obsession with flies. In times of peace, when we all lied still, I made sure to sneak close up to my mother, watching very carefully that no fly would land on her, - I waved my hat over her body, flies don't like wind and movement... - Jeroen Bouwers
 
If you should die before me, ask if you can bring a friend. - Anon
 
"You see," he says to the girl, "you closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them too, even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling." - Mitch Albom
 
In a universe of ambiguity, this kind of certainty comes only once, and never again, no matter how many lifetimes you live. - Robert James Waller
 
Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. - Carl Bard
 
That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet. - Emily Dickinson
 
I don't love women. Love has to be reinvented, we know that. The only thing women can ultimately imagine is security. Once they get that, love, beauty, everything else goes out the window. All they have left is cold disdain; that's what marriages live on nowadays. Sometimes I see women who ought to be happy, with whom I could have found companionship, already swallowed up by brutes with as much feeling as an old log.... - Arthur Rimbaud
 
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity. - Kahlil Gibran
 
A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer; it sings because it has a song. - Maya Angelou
 
What I want is to be needed. What I need is to be indispensable to somebody. Who I need is somebody that will eat up all my free time, my ego, my attention. Somebody addicted to me. A mutual addiction. - Chuck Palahniuk
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
I should scorn to shiver with terror at the thought of annihilation. Happiness is nonetheless true happiness because it must come to an end, nor do thought and love lose their value because they are not everlasting. - Bertrand Russell

There was such an incredible logic to kissing, such a metal-magnet pull between two people that it was a wonder that they found the strength to prevent themselves from succumbing every second. Rightfully the world should be a whirlpool of kissing into which we sank and never found the strength to rise up again. - Ann Patchett

Have you ever had the sensation of looking at someone for the first time and ever so quickly the past and future seem to fuse ? Does that not mean something ? That we felt so much, so deeply, before even speaking? - Charles Dickens

Metaphors are dangerous. Love begins with a metaphor. Which is to say, love begins at the point when a woman enters her first word into our poetic memory. - Milan Kundera

The most called-upon prerequisite of a friend is an accessible ear. - Maya Angelou

As thin as the line between love and hate is, you must take every precaution possible in order to prevent their mixing, for whenever one is felt for the other it is a bad thing. - Trent Dackmin

I'm not a concept. Too many guys think I'm a concept or I complete them or I'm going to make them alive, but I'm just a fucked up girl who is looking for my own peace of mind. Don't assign me yours. - Kate Winslet

 


 

Sometimes when I look at you, I feel I'm gazing at a distant star. It's dazzling, but the light is from tens of thousands of years ago. Maybe the star doesn't even exist any more. Yet sometimes that light seems more real to me than anything. - Haruki Murakami
 
You're in my mind all of the time, I know that's not enough. - U2
 
I just need time to catch my breath before you take it away again. - Tawny Cypress
 
It was as if nothing quite erased the initial shock of being kissed by someone who was not hers, a kiss that was stolen, claimed from her flippantly, a kiss so abrasively illicit that she seemed to deserve it, as though she was not worth much to begin with. - Suki Kim
 
I opened myself to you only to be skinned alive. The more vulnerable I became, the faster and more deft your knife. Knowing what was happening, still I stayed and let you carve more. That's how much I loved you. That's how much. - Rabih Alameddine
 
Love at first sight is easy to understand; it's when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle. - Amy Bloom
 
Love is all a matter of timing. It's no good meeting the right person too soon or too late. - Wong Kar Wai
 
The past is a ghost, the future a dream, and all we ever have is now. - Bill Cosby

Love of all creatures, humankind or kind, needn't always be repaid, reciprocated, or even known. But if you feel something for someone today, do not hold back your emotions. If he or she cannot be in your possession, he or she is without the pain you might give in this, albeit beautiful but crazy dilemma of love, but will be loved by you for as long as you can remember. And to truly be stirred in this strawberry swirl of sweetness, is a moment to be thankful for. To love is the greatest gift of life, and to be loved, always something to be grateful for. And to proclaim your love for someone, girls, that is something you'd always thank yourself for. That is more courage than the most respectable and romantic guy could ever muster. And if the guy turns out to be a pig about it, step away and smile. Because, thank God, you never had him. - Anon

The brain may take advice, but not the heart, and love having no geography, knows no boundaries: weight and sink it deep, no matter, it will rise and find the surface: and why not? Any love is natural and beautiful that lies within a person's nature; only hypocrites would hold a man responsible for what he loves, emotional illiterates and those of righteous envy, who, in their agitated concern, mistake so frequently the arrow pointing to heaven for the one that leads to hell. - Truman Capote

You teach me now how cruel you've been - cruel and false. Why did you despise me? Why did you betray your own heart, Cathy? I have not one word of comfort. You deserve this. You have killed yourself. Yes, you may kiss me, and cry; and wring out my kisses and tears: they'll blight you - they'll damn you. You loved me - then what right had you to leave me? What right - answer me - for the poor fancy you felt for Linton? Because misery and degradation, and death, and nothing that God or Satan could inflict would have parted us, you, of your own will, did it. I have not broken your heart - you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine. So much the worse for me that I am strong. Do I want to live? What kind of living will it be when you - oh, God! would you like to live with your soul in the grave? - Emily Bronte

-------------------------------------------------------

But I know the rage that drives you. That impossible anger strangling the grief, until the memory of your loved one is just...poison in your veins. And one day, you catch yourself wishing the person you loved had never existed so you'd be spared your pain. - Henri Ducard

and Trinity of course, si belle qu'elle nous fait souffrir [so beautiful that she makes us suffer] - The Merovingian

Die without me if you will. Live for me if you dare. - Charlotte Bronte

Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you. Like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly. You shouldn't have to wake up day after day after that, trying to understand how in the world you didn't know. The light just never went on, you know. I must have known, of course, but I was too scared to see the truth. Then fear just makes you so stupid. - Frances (Diane Lane)

I taught you to fight and to fly. What more could there be? - Peter Pan

Okay, life's a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness. Paul Varjak

The only thing better than singing is more singing. - Ella Fitzgerald

When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on -- series polygamy -- untill we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter. - Tom Robbins

I know that you can love me, when there's no one left to blame. - Guns 'N' Roses

Live to the limits they say. Go all out. Give all. And that's what I'd persevered to do for so many years of my life. But sometimes the beauty, the joy, the enticement, excitement of an act, a word, a feeling, a thought, is in fact, magnified where there is reservation. A speck, a smudge, a splatter, or remnants. And because control is with intention, the knowing of it is even more fragile. Vulnerable. Real. But more so, to give all can be stupidly painful when you ain't ready to take it all in. And it can spillout to those whom you affect. And so, I want love, with a price. Love for sale. - Anon

Children leave...and parents stay behind. Still, some things are deeper than time and distance. And your father will always be your father...And he will always leave a light on for you. - Kevin Arnold

A heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others. - The Wizard of Oz

Nothing is real til' its gone. - Goo Goo Dolls

[ Denny: What I give to you, what - what I share, I do with no one else. I like to think what you give to me, you do with nobody else. Now that - that may sound silly to you. But here's what I think is silly - the idea that jealousy or fidelity is reserved for romance. I always suspected that there was a connection between you and THAT man. That you got something you didn't get from me.

Alan: I probably do. But gosh, what I get from you, Denny...People walk around today calling everyone their "best friend". The term doesn't have any real meaning anymore. Mere acquaintances are lavished with hugs and kisses upon a second or, at most, third meeting. Birthday cards get passed around offices, so everybody can scribble a snippet of sentimentality for a colleague they've barely met. And everyone just "loves" everyone. As a result, when you tell somebody you love them today, it isn't much heard. I love you, Denny. YOU are my best friend. I can't imagine going through life without you as my best friend. Not gonna kiss you, however. ]

- James Spader & William Shatner in Boston Legal, On The Ledge
