love

"Kitten, your hands are heaven and your eyes are my home."

"When what you want is a relationship, and not a person, get a dog."

"Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put its trust in life."

"I cannot say for certain if there is such a thing as love at first sight, but I do know that the moment I first glimpsed Winnie Nomzamo, I knew that I wanted to have her as my wife."

"That’s love: Two lonely persons keep each other safe and touch each other and talk to each other."

"You are afraid of it because it is stronger than you; you hate it because you are afraid of it; you love it because you cannot subdue it to your will. Only the unsubduable can be loved."

"The love of liberty and the sense of human dignity are the basic elements of the Anarchist creed."

"There used to be days that I thought I was okay, or at least that I was going to be. We'd be hanging out somewhere and everything would just fit right and I would think 'it will be okay if it can just be like this forever' but of course nothing can ever stay just how it is forever."

"Happily ever after, or even just together ever after, is not cheesy,” Wren said. “It’s the noblest, like, the most courageous thing two people can shoot for."

"A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don't function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick."

"We join spokes together in a wheel, but it is the center hole that makes the wagon move.We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness insidethat holds whatever we want.We hammer wood for a house, but it is the inner spacethat makes it livable.We work with being, but non-being is what we use."

"But why, why, why can't people just say what they mean?"

"I told you. You don't love someone because of their looks or their clothes or their car. You love them because they sing a song only your heart can understand."

"Heaven would never be heaven without you."

"If you need me I’ll be sitting over there, on the ground, next to the empty chair. The emptiness always reminds me of your love."

"I never change, I simply become more myself."

"One does not fall in love; one grows into love, and love grows in him."

"Do you remember all of your audiences?"Marco asks. "Not all of them,"Celia says. "But I remember the people who look at me the way you do.""What way might that be?""As though they cannot decide if they are afraid of me or they want to kiss me.""I am not afraid of you,"Marco says."

"In this whole screwed-up town, you're the only thing that's always been right to me,"he whispered. "I love you, Claire."She saw something that might have been just a flash of panic go across his expression, but then he steadied again. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I do. I love you."

"The art of love is largely the art of persistence."
