 Love and Dreams Quotable Quotes on Loving and Dreaming for Lovers and Dreamers The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident. - Sir Hugh Walpoe
There are many ways to love someone. Sometimes we want love so much, we're not too choosy about who we love. Other times, we make love such a pure and noble thing, no poor human can ever meet our vision. But for the most part, love is a recognition, an opportunity to say, "There is something about you I cherish." It doesn't entail marriage, or even physical love. There's love of parents, love of city or nation, love of life, and love of people. All different, all love. - Raymond E. Feist Love doesn't make the world go 'round.

Chesterton Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it. - Thomas Fuller You ask whether I have ever been in love: fool as I am, I am not such a fool as that.

Lewis Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. - Henry Louis Mencken ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep burning, unquenchable. - Henry Ward Beecher ...again you search for what had gone wrong, realising only after too long that it was not your fault. It was nobody's fault actually. Sometimes, feelings are gone.

Your heart is willing but your mind says no. And you follow your heart... - Jason Q Can I keep you? - Casper There are mysteries about our love. Things that neither one of us may ever understand because love is an emotion without limit and understanding. We know we love each other but we could never explain completely as WHY we love each other. Love is not a clock.

He wouldn't live to see the new millennium. I wanted to get his perspective, as someone who knows death is real, about what is important and enduring. But before I could do so, his wife, Brenda, called. Bob was in the hospital. He was too sick to see visitors or to write his regular newspaper column for the Syracuse Post-Standard. Then on Valentine's Day a column by Bob - written on a word processor sneaked into his hospital room by one of his colleagues - appeared in the Post-Standard. "This is my Valentine to Brenda," it reads. "Unfortunately, this Valentine will not look or taste as good as those hearts that grade-school teachers in Kansas helped me cut out and paste on big pieces of red paper....So here is my Valentine, composed in my head as Brenda sleeps beside me on my hospital bed. The paper and paste of my Valentine hold straight and true the best words I have ever written in my life. Bob loves Brenda forever." Eleven days later Bob died. I never got to see him or thank him for answering my question. Love endures. - Joel L. Swerdlow Maybe part of loving is learning to let go. - Fred Savage Learn not to procrastinate the matters of the heart, for eventually, it will come back to haunt you with icy fingers.
