Love…
…never forgets. It is always remembered. When true love comes it carves out a space deep within us that will forever remain whether we want it to or not.
From the book “Different Directions” by Donna L. Jones
Your sweet
scent will
forever be
with me,
reminding me
of the love
we once
shared.
I will
breathe in
the memories
until we
meet again.
Love…
…frequently does not allow a person to know when and where it really began. It accumulates like water filling a lake behind a damn. Then one day it starts to spill over, for good or naught.
American writer and philosopher Richard Bach
True
love
stories
never
have
endings.
Love…
…changes every person it touches. Whether for a long time or only for a little while, knowing love takes the soul to a new place it can never completely return from.
Swiss psychotherapist and psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung
The meeting
of two
personalities
is like
the contact
of two chemical
substances:
if there is
any reaction,
both are
transformed.
Love…
…in my heart is high like mountains; balanced like level plains; beautifully colorful as a spring meadow and smooth as a worn river stone. The uneven ground of thought, deserts of doubt and rough edges of a routine day are no match for love’s power.
American poet, painter, essayist, and playwright E.E. Cummings
Trust
your
heart
if
the
seas
catch
fire,
live
by
love
though
the
stars
walk
backward.
Love…
…can shine a brilliance so bright it blinds the heart. Such is the magic when two people become one. Dream and reality, hope and happening; wish and occurrence are no longer separable.
From “Love Song” by American writer Mary Carolyn Davies
All the wishes
of my mind know
your name,
And the white desires
of my heart
They are acquainted
with you.
The cry of my body
for completeness,
That is a cry
to you.
My blood beats out
your name to me,
Unceasing, pitiless—
Your name,
your name.
Love…
…”IS”; simply and unequivocally. There is no absolute proof it exists or a certain plausible explanation for how it works. With a knowing that exceeds rational thought there is no doubt; love was, is and shall be always.
Poet, fiction-writer and philosopher C. Joybell C.
Before,
I wanted
to say:
“I found love!”
But now,
I want
to say:
“I found a person.
And he belongs
to me and
I belong to him.
Love…
…is the only true “blood” that that keeps people together. It’s stronger than genetics, ancestors, or kin. Love has the power to make “family” of any two people anywhere, anytime.
13th-century Persian Muslim poet and Sufi mystic, Rumi
Your task
is not
to seek
for love,
but merely
to seek
and find
all the barriers
within yourself
that you
have built
against it.
Love…
…is a mystery never completely solved. It is a question for which no complete answers exist. Every heart loves differently making as many different kinds of love as there are people.
From “Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman” by Haruki Murakami
I sometimes think
that people’s hearts
are like deep wells.
Nobody knows what’s
at the bottom.
All you can do
is imagine by
what comes floating
to the surface
every once
in a while.
Love…
…is never the real reason for sorrow and unhappiness. Love itself is always pure, without corruption and eternally filled with gladness. It is only human thought, feeling and action that can make love into anything else.
American author and motivation speaker Leo Buscaglia
Love is always
bestowed
as a gift;
freely,
willingly,
and without
expectation…
We don’t love
to be loved;
we love to love.
Love…
…perceived as only a smooth path is make-believe. It is overcoming the “downs” of loving that make the “ups” more and more lofty with time. Love that survives long-term is brightly polished by adversities overcome.
From “Letters to a Young Poet” by Austrian writer Ranier Maria Rilke
…only someone who
is ready for everything,
who doesn’t exclude
any experience,
even the most
incomprehensible,
will live the relationship
with another person
as something alive
and will himself sound
the depths of his own being.
