Love…
…has to be a little crazy to be good. Falling in love is like jumping off a really tall building. 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…
…separated by years, is still the same love. Though we were long ago parted, there is a place in my heart no one else will ever touch. I have loved since and may love yet again, but never as deeply as I love you.
Dutch-Born Catholic priest and spiritual writer Hans Nouwens
In
true
love
the
smallest
distance
is too
great,
and the
greatest
distance
can be
bridged
Love…
…for you will always be here waiting. Whether you come find me one day or I just imagine that happening for the rest of my life, I will love you in a way that is not possible for me to love anyone else.
Sung by Frankie Vallie/written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you
You’d be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I’m alive
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you
Pardon the way that I stare
There’s nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
So if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it’s real
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you
Love…
…has broken the lock on my heart. You have slipped past all the barriers with hardly any effort and defeated my old heartaches. You have awakened me from sleep walking through life to find myself happy and in love.
American poet and author Oliver Wendell Holmes
Love
is
the
master
key
that
opens
the
gates
of
happiness.
Love…
…makes no promises except it will exist as long as you believe in it. It is bound by no other force except that inside you. For love to stay or leave; to live or die; to grow or whither, is a personal choice no matter what the circumstances.
Beautiful saying found at https://twitter.com/vinylimpression
Love
is for living,
in sunshine and rain.
Grace is love’s gift,
given new each day.
Love is forgiving,
second chances abound.
In life’s chaos love remains.
Love lives here.
Love…
…spoken as a child was “I like you”; as teenager as “love ya”; in the 20’s with “I love you”; when 30-something “I love you with all I am”; middle-aged 40’s as “I will always love you” and now in my 50’s I say “I love you even though you’re no longer here”.
German psychologist and philosopher, Erich Fromm
Immature
love
says
“I love you
because
I need you.”
Mature
love
says
“I need you
because
I love you.
Love…
…is finding someone who sees everything you are and won’t let you be anything less. They see the potential of you. They see endless possibilities. And through their eyes, you start to see yourself the same way.
From “Eat, Pray, Love…” by Elizabeth Gilbert
I’m here.
I love you.
I don’t care
if you need
to stay up crying
all night long,
I will stay with you.
There’s nothing
you can ever do
to lose my love.
I will protect you
until you die,
and after your death
I will still protect you.
Love…
…only exists in the present. What is behind is only a memory of what the contents of the heart were then. Love promised in the future at best is only a promise we hope to keep. “I love you” means “now”, at this instant, I am filled with feelings for you.
From the novel “Impulse” by American writer and poet Ellen Hopkins
Forever
has
no
meaning
when
you’re
living
in
the
moment.
Love…
… taught me the day you stole my heart, I would always love you. Without a doubt that will always be true. My love for you will out live me for at least a hundred years; maybe two…
From the poem”Have I Ever Told You” by Gianella Ramirez
Have I ever told you
When I stand still
I can hear the beating of your heart,
Beating along with mine?
Have I ever told you
When my arms feel empty
I hug myself and, somehow, I feel the warmth
Of your body embracing mine?
Have I ever told you
when I’m missing you
I close my eyes and in my mind
I’m safe in your arms?
Have I ever told you
No matter how this world separates us
We are still one person
Until the end of time?
Love…
…means understanding, not agreement. It means forgiveness, not forgetting. It means the memories last, even if contact is lost. Love like energy can not be created or destroyed. Once it is, love always is.
From “Anna Karenina by Russian writer Leo Tolstoy
…if it is
true that
there are
as many
minds as
there are
heads, then
there are
as many
kinds of love
as there
are hearts.
