My Love…
I thought my life was successful before I met you. My career was good. I had money, a beautiful home, lots of friends and lived well. Now I know that I did not begin to truly succeed until we fell in love.
Mexican writer and novelist José Agustín Ramírez Gómez
The
best
use of
life
is love.
The
best
expression
of
love
is time.
The
best
time to
love
is now…
Love…
…is a subject I long tried to make sense of. Success eluded me until I stopped trying. The answer arrived wrapped in an old red shirt and faded jeans you were wearing when we met.
American physician, activist and author Patch Adams
I
love
you
without
knowing
how,
why,
or
even
from
where…
Love…
…runs away if pursued, but follows a willing spirit. It is reckless when treated thoughtlessly; but gentle if shown tenderness. Love can be found, but never possessed. It is the landlord of the heart for those who embrace it.
Roman poet Publius Ovidius Naso most known “Ovid”
Love is
a driver,
bitter
and
fierce
if you
fight
and
resist him;
Easy-going
enough
once you
acknowledge
his power.
Love…
…of a common sort is frequently discovered by those who settle for less than their heart’s desire. I waited, but fear moved in as I aged. When I was about ready to settle for an ordinary love, you stepped into my life.
17th-century French writer Francois de la Rochefoucauld
True
love
is
like
ghosts,
which
everyone
talks
about
and
few
have
seen.
Love…
…caught me by surprise when it arrived; when you arrived. From the first time we met I hoped we’d fall in love. I can’t remember life without you. It feels like I have always known you.
American poet, short story writer and novelist X. Williamson
I could
recognize
his soul
in mine
as much as
he could
find me
in his.
Our sole
existences
seemed to
have been
for this very
moment
when nothing
else mattered.
Love…
…drove me crazy when I began to fall for you. I had trouble getting to sleep, but could not wait to dream of us each night. Back then even a few days of not seeing you was torture. You became the love of my life.
From “Peony in Love” by American novelist Lisa See
He was in
my hair,
my eyes,
my fingers,
my heart.
I day-dreamed
about what he
was doing,
thinking,
seeing,
smelling,
feeling.
I could
not eat
for thoughts
of him.
Love…
…is filled with surprises. I have no idea of when I went from simply beginning to fall in love with you to being head over heels, completely, absolutely and totally in love with you. Wow, what a ride!
From “Love Quotes for the Ages…” by American Writer Jarod Kintz
I am
approximately
96.694444%
in
love
with
you.
Of
course,
that’s
just
a
rough
estimate.
Love…
…is a little crazy. Falling in love is like jumping off a high cliff. Your brain tells you it is not a good idea, but your heart tells you that you can fly.
From “Bel Canto” by American writer Ann Patchett
Love
was
action.
It
came
to you.
It
was
not
a
choice.
Love…
…is what allows a person to be their most vulnerable with the belief he or she will not get hurt. It’s an almost blind faith that more often than not is undeserved. But when the risk pays off, the angels sing with two hearts in unison.
American author, public speaker and research professor Brene Brown
We cultivate
love when we
allow our most
vulnerable and
powerful selves
to be deeply
seen and known,
and when we
honor the spiritual
connection that
grows from that
offering with trust,
respect,
kindness
and affection.
Love…
…for you has never been something I could hold back. Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you was completely beyond my control.
From “The Unsung Love Story” by Cristina Patchett
Love
is a
wild
fire
that
cannot
be
contained
by any
mere
element
known
to man.
