love

"Love didn't make you weak, it made you stronger."

"Once you figure out who you are and what you love about yourself, I think it all kind of falls into place."

"Your kids require you most of all to love them for who they are, not to spend your whole time trying to correct them."

"We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it."

"Love is suffering. One side always loves more."

"Love possesses not nor will it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love."

"Love is what you make it. Unfortunately, I can’t make it today, as I have a doctor’s appointment."

"Love is the beauty of the soul."

"If I had a camera,' I said, 'I'd take a picture of you every day. That way I'd remember how you looked every single day of your life."

"Nobody peels a banana before stabbing themselves with it. But that’s exactly how I love—dangerously."

"One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well."

"Do people look the same when they go to heaven, mommy?""I don't know. I don't think so.""Then how do people recognize each other?""I don't know, sweetie. They just feel it. You don't need your eyes to love, right?"

"Herondales."Zachariah's voice was a breath, half laughter, half pain. "I had almost forgotten. No other family does so much for love, or feels so much guilt for it. Don't carry the weight of the world on you, Jace. It's too heavy for even a Herondale to bear."

"There is nothing on earth more beautiful to me than your smile...no sound sweeter than your laughter...no pleasure greater than holding you in my arms. I realized today that I could never live without you, stubborn little hellion that you are. In this life and the next, you’re my only hope of happiness. Tell me, Lillian, dearest love...how can you have reached so far inside my heart?"

"If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were."

"I didn't know love could leave the lights on all the time."

"Our love, that’s real. Our currency, the dollar, that’s imaginary. Invest in us, and I promise you that you won’t lose your life’s savings."

"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up."

"Suffering passes, while love is eternal. That's a gift that you have received from God. Don't waste it."

"People who love themselves, don’t hurt other people. The more we hate ourselves, the more we want others to suffer."
