Love…
…can break through differences of culture and belief to bring people together who are very different. Nothing, including boundaries of countries, differences in speech, religion or economic position, can keep love from its intended destination.
From “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling
Differences
of habit
and
language
are
nothing
at all if
our aims
are
identical
and our
hearts are
open.
Love…
…is worth everything. Put aside doubt and fear or it can’t get close. Only by fully opening yourself up to the possibility of heartbreak can love find a way into your heart and make a home there.
American fiction writer author and teacher Erica Jong
Love is everything
it’s cracked up to be.
That’s why people
are so cynical about it.
It really is
worth fighting for,
risking everything for.
And the trouble is,
if you don’t risk
everything,
you risk even more.
Love…
…begins as “like” and if it grows steady and sure, love takes firm root. It’s possible to love and not like someone, but rarely is this a happy union. A couple who loves and likes one another are true friends and committed lovers.
French romantic composer, Hector Berlioz
It is so rare…
to find
a complete person,
with a soul,
a heart
and an imagination;
so rare for characters
as ardent and restless
as ours to meet
and to be matched
together,
that I hardly know how
to tell you what happiness
it gives me to know you.
Love…
…brings a feeling like Spring after Winter. There is great hope of what is to come and everything appears more beautiful and filled with life. The arrival of love changes a person. They are never the same again.
From “The Reed of God” by Caryll Houselander
Most people know
the sheer wonder
that goes with
falling in love,
how not only does
everything in heaven
and earth become new,
but the lover himself
becomes new.
It is literally like
the sap rising
in the tree,
putting forth
new green
shoots of life.
Love…
…is like a firefly blinking, giving its light and leading you toward it. If you’re lucky you can catch it. If you are very lucky you won’t have to. Love will come land on you.
Little is known about the writer, Timothy Oliveira
There are two kinds of sparks,
the one that goes off
with a hitch like a match,
but it burns quickly.
The other is the kind
that needs time,
but when
the flame strikes…
it’s eternal,
don’t forget that.
Love…
…stated simply by Native Americans: Cheyenne “Ne mohotatse”, Chickasaw “Chi holla li”, Mohawk “Kanbhik”, Creek “V no kewc kv”, Navaho “Ayor anosh’ni”, Sioux “Techihhila” and in the tongue of my ancestors; Gvgeyuh (Cherokee “I love you” ).
From “Against the Magic” by American author Lisa Kleypas
I want morning
and noon
and nightfall with you.
I want your tears,
your smiles,
your kisses…
the smell of your hair,
the taste of your skin,
the touch of your
breath on my face.
I want to see you
in the final hour of my life…
to lie in your arms
as I take my last breath.
Love…
…brings great concern when the one who has your heart is seriously ill. Pacing or being anxious does no good, but it happens anyway. Prayers help. Forever promises are often made in those worried moments wishing to take the one you love’s place.
Quote by a writer unknown/anonymous
In those moments
realizing you
could be
lost to me
forever,
I feel helpless,
powerless,
and utterly lost
like a frightened child.
I can’t tell up from down.
My world spins all around.
You are more of me
than I am of my self.
