LOVE QUOTES***
Love is 3/4 dream and 1/4 reality. Problems usually arise when you
fall in love with the dream and not the reality. But, yet you find
true love when you fall in love with both.
Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others,
and the delight in that recognition.
The distance is not far, yet it might as well be the span of a galaxy.
The time is not too long, what is an aeon to the age of the universe?
Perhaps I can speed time up, hasten it from its agonizingly slow pace.
Perhaps I can strain myself to parts unknown, just to catch a glimpse
of you, however fleeting. Absence is said to make the heart grow
fonder, yet if my heart yearns any more for the sight of you, I will
explode. Insanity is a comforting friend, calming me at night and
allowing me to face the day. The mighty structure is put on every
morning, when I get out of the shower the barricade is up. No one can
glimpse the hollowness in my eyes, the starving of my soul, the
atrophy of my heart. But, at the end of the day, when the city sleeps
away, the hollowness returns. My shoulders loosen, crushed by an
unseen force. Movement is difficult, likened more to the elderly
instead of the young. The pain returneth, brining along with it
despair and anguish. My nightly sojourn climaxes in the release from
reality's tenuous grip. A fitful rest awaits me, met only with
another dawn without you, another day without you, another night
without you. Somewhere, on small mote of dust in the farthest reaches
of the Cosmos, you are sleeping also. Do you dream of me often? Do
you turn corners expecting to find me? Have you turned to ask me a
question, then noticed that I am gone? Has your heart been torn
asunder every time you do any task that we shared? Can you find solace
in looking up at the night sky, in the same manner that I do,
wondering if I am thinking about you under the same night sky
somewhere? Do you feel me peering over your shoulder, as I so truly
wish to do? I can only hope that in this vast and uncertain world,
two people feel that bond which unites them like no other,
through the distance and the time.
I loved him so much. And talked about him so much. And thought about
him so much. It was like he lived inside me. Like he had taken
possession of my soul or something. And then one day...I got over him.---Claire Danes in "My So-Called Life"
Is Love the best healer? Or is Pain the best teacher?

Love doesn't make the world go 'round. It's what makes the ride worthwhile.
I would rather to never have felt love, than to feel so loved one
minute and in the blink of an eye it all be gone, left with nothing
more than this broken heart I have now.
---Unknown
I dropped a tear in the ocean. Whenever they find it,
I will stop loving you.
Falling in love for the first time is easy. It's the second time around,
after you had fallen and trusted that someone to catch you the first
time and they didn't, when it becomes difficult to
let yourself fall in love again.
---Unknown
And the wonder of it all is that
you just don't realize how much I love you.
---Eric Clapton
Sometimes you won't let go of love...
More times love won't let go of you.
Hate has a reason for everything, but love is unreasonable.
Love is what you wish for by day. Love is what you dream about at
night. You dream and wish of love, but it seems as though you never
find it. Then all of the sudden it comes. All that you've wished and
dreamed for is there, just a hundredfold better. And you know that
nothing you could have ever imagined could compare to the way you feel
when you're with your love.
---Unknown
Nothing you love is lost. Not really. Things, people - they always go
away, sooner or later. You can't hold them, any more than you can hold
moonlight. But if they've touched you, if they're inside you, then
they're still yours. The only things you ever really have are the ones
you hold inside your heart.
The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark
places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands
love is mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.
---From The "Fellowship of the Ring" by J. R. R. Tolkien
There are only four questions of any value in lifeā¦
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.
Love will make you forget time, and time will make you forget love.
Love hurts but the pain might be worth it.
The first sight of him did something to her, twisted her heart round
so that it almost hurt. Absurd that a man--an ordinary, yes, a
perfectly ordinary young man-- should be able to do that to one!
That the mere look of him should set the world spinning, that his
voice should make you want--just a little--to cry...love surely should
be a pleasurable emotion, not one that hurts you with its intensity.
Dreams tell us things, maybe one as our special love, that one person
that could make a difference in your life, that maybe, just maybe, if
you wished hard enough could come true.
The dangerous kind of love that happens once and only once,
that either heals or scars, melds or shatters.
---Crowell's Necessary Madness
You may not love me today, tomorrow, or ever. But I will love you
until it kills me. And even then you will be in my heart.
Loving you is like trying to touch a star,
I know I can never reach you, but I can't help but try.
A heart truly in love never loses hope but always believes in the
promise of love, no matter how long the time and how far the distance.
---Unknown
The course of true love never did run smooth...
swift as a shadow short as any dream.---"A Midsummer Night's Dream," William Shakespeare
One cannot live on love alone.
And I am so stupid that I can do nothing but think of him.
You don't get to choose, you just fall in love. And you get this
person who is all wrong and all right at the same time. And you know
that you love them so much except sometimes they just drive you
completely insane. And no one can explain it. And the reason its so
confusing is because its love. But, if love didn't have challenges,
what would be the point?
Love is insanity. It is the taking over of a rational and intellectual
mind by delusion and self-destruction. You lose yourself,
you have no power over yourself, you can't even think straight.
When these days are gone, when all the love we gave to each other
slowly fades away, when your beautiful smile is only here as a dream,
and when the words "I love you" are scripts of the past, I will always
have the memories that were once moments and I will always know that
no matter what, I got the chance to be loved by you.
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
someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these
defenses. You build up this whole armor, for years, so nothing could
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 don'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 anymore. Love
takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you
crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like
"maybe we should just be friends" or "how very perceptive" turns into
a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just
in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a should-hurt,
a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.
I hate love.
True love doesn't consist of holding hands,
it consists of holding hearts.
I'm not a child anymore. I'm tall enough to reach for the stars.
I'm old enough to love you from afar. Too trusting? Yes.
But then, women usually are.
If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart the only dream
that mattered had come true. In this life, I was loved by you.---Merlin in "The Sword and the Stone"
I have fallen in so love with you, so much more than I said I would.
Love is like the sun, even if you reach it,
you have to put up with a few blisters.
We come to love not by finding a perfect person
but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.
