"Love is a temporary
madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you
have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have 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, it is not the desire to
mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining
that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don't blush, I am telling you
some truths. That is just being 'in love', which any fool can do. Love itself is
what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art
and a fortunate accident."
"I will love you always.
When this red hair is white, I will still love you. When the smooth softness of
youth is replaced by the delicate softness of age, I will still want to touch
your skin. When your face is full of the lines of every smile you have ever
smiled, of every surprise I have seen flash through your eyes, when every tear
you have ever cried has left its mark upon your face,I will treasure you all
the more, because I was there to see it all. I will share your life with you,
Meredith, and I will love you until the last breath leaves your body or mine
You can talk with someone for
years, everyday, and still, it won't mean as much as what you can have when you
sit in front of someone, not saying a word, yet you feel that person with your
heart, you feel like you have known the person for forever ... connections are
made with the heart, not the tongue."
"Remember to hold hands and cherish the
moment for someday that person might not be there again. Give time to love,
give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your
mind."
"Deep in the meadow, hidden
far away
A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when it's morning again, they'll wash away
Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you."
Every heart sings a song,
incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always
find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet."
“There is no pretending,"
Jace said with absolute clarity. "I love you, and I will love you until I
die, and if there is life after that, I'll love you then.”
When someone loves you, the way
they talk about you is different. You feel safe and comfortable.”
“I no longer believed in the idea
of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a
very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was
exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but
because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate
beings to hinge together.”
“You can't force love, I
realized. It's there or it isn't. If it's not there, you've got to be able to
admit it. If it is there, you've got to do whatever it takes to protect the
ones you love.”
Some women choose to follow men,
and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you're wondering which way to
go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't
love you anymore.”
And I'm suppose to sit by while
you date boys and fall in love with someone else, get married...?" His
voice tightened. "And meanwhile, I'll die a little bit more every day,
watching.”
“I heard what you said. I’m not
the silly romantic you think. I don’t want the heavens or the shooting stars. I
don’t want gemstones or gold. I have those things already. I want…a steady
hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. I
want to love, and be loved.”
“They didn’t agree on much. In
fact, they didn’t agree on anything. They fought all the time and challenged
each other ever day. But despite their differences, they had one important
thing in common. They were crazy about each other.”
