love

"A man is only as good as what he loves."

"They should make bubblegum that tastes like mashed potatoes. You know, for lovers."

"I love life. There's so much to learn and see all the time, and nothing nicer for me than to wake up, and the sky is blue."

"She had loved him for such a long time, she thought. How was it that she did now know him at all?"

"It is very difficult to live among people you love and hold back from offering them advice."

"He was contemplation and enthusiasm. Ambition and strong coffee. I could have looked at him forever."

"In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art."

"Love blurs your vision; but after it recedes, you can see more clearly than ever. It's like the tide going out, revealing whatever's been thrown away and sunk: broken bottles, old gloves, rusting pop cans, nibbled fishbodies, bones. This is the kind of thing you see if you sit in the darkness with open eyes, not knowing the future. The ruin you've made."

"What sexual preference do you hope she has?” “Happiness.” Isnt that cool?"

"I believe that love--not imitation--is the sincerest form of flattery. Your imitator thinks that you can be duplicated; your lover knows you can't."

"Clare, I want to tell you, again, I love you. Our love has been the thread through the labyrinth, the net under the high-wire walker, the only real thing in this strange life of mine that I could ever trust. Tonight I feel that my love for you has more density in this world than I do, myself: as though it could linger on after me and surround you, keep you, hold you."

"One day spent with someone you love can change everything."

"My head’ll explode if I continue with this escapism."

"If one unlabeled bottle holds nonfat milk, what does the second unlabeled bottle contain? If you answered “Whole milk” then you’re obviously not ready to receive a jug of my love. So I’ll just pour it in someone else’s coffee."

"But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls."

"True love is not so much a matter of romance as it is a matter of anxious concern for the well-being of one's companion."

"I'm on Aslan's side even if there isn't any Aslan to lead it. I'm going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn't any Narnia."

"Then I realize what it is. It's him. Something about him makes me feel like I am about to fall. Or turn to liquid. Or burst into flames."

"People fall in love without reason, without even wanting to. You can't predict it. That's love."

"The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be able to do it."
