Love
|
I always knew that I'd look back
at my tears and laugh.
But I never thought that I'd look back
at my laughter and cry.

True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked.
Erich Segal
|
How lucky I am to have known someone
so hard to say good-bye to.
|
As the ocean is never full of water
So is the heart never full of love.

If you love something, set it free;
If it returns, it's yours
If it doesn't, it never was.

Cherish things while you still have them,
before they're gone and you realize
just how precious they really are.
|
Even when love goes right it hurts
it's the great cosmic joke.
It's a tortuous path to sheer agony
but it's the only thing worth living for.
|
Love has nothing to do
with what you are expecting to get.
It's what you are expected to give.
Which is everything.
|
If you ever miss me too much,
Check your heart and I'll be there.
|
Love, above all, is the gift of oneself.
Jean Anouilh

When you kiss me,
Without uttering a single word
You speak to my soul.

Within you, I lose myself.
Without you, I find myself
Searching to be lost again.

It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.
Andre Gide
|
How shall I hold my soul,
that it may not be touching yours?
Ranier Maria Rilke
|
If two people who love each other let
a
single instant wedge itself between them,
It grows.
It becomes a month, a year, a century.
It becomes too late.
|
The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved -- loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.

Absence diminishes small loves and increases great ones, as the wind blows out the candle and fans the bonfire.
La Rochefoucald

Love is an act of endless forgiveness,
a tender look which becomes a habit.
Peter Ustinov
|
Immature love says, "I love you because I need you."
Mature love says, "I need you because I love you."
Erich Fromm
|
Anxiety is love's greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic.

Give all to love; obey thy heart.

The hardest thing about growing up
is that you have to do what's best for you
even if it means breaking someone's heart.
Including your own.

If we are incapable of finding peace in ourselves,
it is pointless to search elsewhere.
Francois de la Rochefoucauld
|
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
|
The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and
joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the
same roof.
Richard Bach
|
True friends are those who,
When you make a fool of yourself,
Don't believe that this condition is permanent.
Erwin T. Randall
|
Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.
Richard Bach

Life
|
Life is like a rainbow:
You need both the sun and the rain
To make its colors appear.
A. Ramaiya
|
I do not propose to have any blush on my face for any
act of my life. My life has been my own. I have nothing
to apologize for.

Nor is it something you wish for.
Happiness is something you design.

Not to want to know is worse.
Not to hope is unthinkable.
Not to care is unforgivable.

Be bold and courageous. When you look back on your life, you'll regret the things you didn't do more than the ones you did.

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life.
It goes on.

Half of our mistakes in life
arise
from thinking when we ought to feel
and feeling when we ought to think.
