Love - a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and the lips to pucker.
Love is when you find someone you can really be yourself with and that you can share anything with.
It's when you can't even imagine what your life would be like without that person. When words don't
even come close to how you really feel and even though it doesn't make sense to other people, you
know you were meant to be together.
"Missing someone gets easier everyday because even though you are one day further from the last time you saw them, you are one day closer to the next time you will."
I may be able to speak the languages of
human beings and even of angels,
but if I have no love,
my speech is no more than a noisy gong or a clanging bell.
I may have the gift of inspired preaching;
I may have all knowledge and understand all secrets;
I may have the faith needed to move mountains-but if I have no love,
I am nothing. I may give away everything I have,
and even give up my body to be burned-but if I have no love,
this does me no good.
Corinthians 13:1-13
"Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age."
"We can cure physical diesases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread, but there are many more dying for a little love."
-Mother Teresa
"Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love."
--Erich Fromm
"It's not about being who everyone else wants you to be, it's about being yourself and finding someone who loves every bit of it."
"If it is meant to be, our hearts will find each other when we meet. And if our hearts melt together so will our bodies and souls. Then every word and every touch will fuel our passion flame. I will be yours, you will be mine, and we will be one."
"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.
- Captain Corelli's Mandolin.
"Love is the beauty of the soul." --St. Augustine
"Let me NOT say I LOVE YOU even though you know this is TRUE for that phrase has been misunderstood, abused, and overused. INSTEAD let me say I BREATH YOU, TASTE YOU, FEEL YOU, and DREAM YOU."
Love is as much of an object as an obsession, everybody wants it, everybody seeks it, but few ever achieve it, those who do will cherish it, be lost in it, and among all, never... never forget it.-Curtis Judalet
