LOVE


ARIES
“Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.”
“Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved; we love to love.”
“In love the paradox occurs that two beings become one and yet remain two.”
“Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.'“
“Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.”
“Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit.”

TAURUS
“A woman knows the face of the man she loves as a sailor knows the open sea.”
“Take away love and our earth is a tomb.”
“Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.”

“To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.”
“Doubt that the stars are fire, doubt that the sun doth move, doubt truth to be a liar, but never doubt I love.”
“Sometimes it's hard to be a woman giving all your love to just one man.”
“Stand by your man. Give him two arms to cling to and something warm to come to.”

GEMINI
“The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost.”
“For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.”
“Love means not ever having to say you're sorry.”

CANCER
“Love is the word used to label the sexual excitement of the young, the habituation of the middle-aged, and the mutual dependence of the old.”
“Loving is not just looking at each other, it's looking in the same direction.”
“Like everybody who is not in love, he thought one chose the person to be loved after endless deliberations and on the basis of particular qualities or advantages.”

LEO
“Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.”
“Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.”
“A kiss makes the heart young again and wipes out the years.”
“Love is love's reward.”
“Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.”

“Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.”
“There is no disguise which can hide love for long where it exists, or simulate it where it does not.”
“Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.”
“True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen.”
“The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.”
“If you judge people, you have no time to love them.”
“I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.”

LIBRA
“All love shifts and changes. I don't know if you can be wholeheartedly in love all the time.”
“The best proof of love is trust.”
“The art of love is largely the art of persistence.”
“Where there is love there is life.”
“It is sad not to love, but it is much sadder not to be able to love.”
“Who, being loved, is poor?”

SCORPIO
“The Eskimo has fifty-two names for snow because it is important to them; there ought to be as many for love.”
“To enlarge or illustrate this power and effect of love is to set a candle in the sun.”
“I like not only to be loved, but to be told I am loved.”
“Love is my religion - I could die for it.”

CAPRICORN

“If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.”
“We loved with a love that was more than love.”
“I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down. That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty... you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are.”

AQUARIUS
“Say what you will, 'tis better to be left than never to have been loved.”
“Love is a game that two can play and both win.”
“Love is only a dirty trick played on us to achieve continuation of the species.”
“We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person.”
“A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy.”

PISCES
“Who so loves believes the impossible.”
“Sometimes it's a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence.”
“You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.”
“Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.”
“Life is the flower for which love is the honey.”
“If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I.”
“The only abnormality is the incapacity to love.”
“The simple lack of her is more to me than others' presence”

LIFE

ARIES
“Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.”
“I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.”
“Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies.”
“In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.”
“Why does a person even get up in the morning? You have breakfast, you floss your teeth so you'll have healthy gums in your old age, and then you get in your car and drive down I-10 and die. Life is so stupid I can't stand it.”

TAURUS
“The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing.”
“Life is a long lesson in humility.”

GEMINI
“It is not length of life, but depth of life.”
“All life is an experiment.”
“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”
“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.”
“Everything has been figured out, except how to live.”

CANCER
“Look, I don't want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive you've got to flap your arms and legs, you've got to jump around a lot, for life is the very opposite of death, and therefore you must at very least think noisy and colorfully, or you're not alive.”
“Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.”
“The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.”
“I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.”

LEO
“God writes a lot of comedy... the trouble is, he's stuck with so many bad actors who don't know how to play funny.”

VIRGO
“Fortunately analysis is not the only way to resolve inner conflicts. Life itself still remains a very effective therapist.”
“The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line.”

LIBRA
“Unbeing dead isn't being alive.”
“Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.”

SCORPIO
“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.”
“Life is something to do when you can't get to sleep.”
“There is only one difference between a long life and a good dinner: that, in the dinner, the sweets come last.”

SAGITTARIUS

CAPRICORN
“You fall out of your mother's womb, you crawl across open country under fire, and drop into your grave.”
“But now I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.”
“My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can.”
“Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.”
“This life is worth living, we can say, since it is what we make it.”

AQUARIUS
“All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.”
“Literature is mostly about having sex and not much about having children. Life is the other way round.”
“There is no wealth but life.”
“I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it.”

PISCES
“Life is wasted on the living.”
“When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me".”
“If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z, X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut.”

“I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying.”

Tell me if I'm wrong- didn't Woody Allan say that one?


I particularly like this Gem love quote- “For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.”
And this Virgo one- “Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.”

Does anyone know who those ones are by?

Bump - I have no shame jk

Had to post this!
But it doesn’t contain all signs

Aries

I wanted to be the first to win three Oscars, but Miss Hepburn has done it. Actually it hasn't been done. Miss Hepburn only won half an Oscar. If they'd given me half an Oscar I would have thrown it back in their faces. You see, I'm an Aries. I never lose.
Bette Davis

Taurus

I can't stand to see red in my profit-or-loss column. I'm Taurus the bull, so I react to red. If I see it, I sell my stocks quickly.
Barbra Streisand


Gemini

I'm a Gemini, so I change my mind every day.
Natalie Portman

I'm a gemini, and I get so bored so easily. I mean, I have moved six times in the last eight years.
Courteney Cox

Cancer

I am the least intimidating person. I think I would have done better in my career if I were a little more intimidating. Even the maid who comes to work for me once a week has found out that she can just trample over me... I'm a Cancer! We are not ferocious people.
Karen Black


Virgo

I'm not silly! I'm very sensible! I'm a virgo, I'm very... organized. You know?
Vivian Campbell

Virgo, and a real Virgo. Nit picky, cranky, cantankerous, fidgety, neurotic. All of the above, but that's good.
Jay London


Scorpio

A Scorpio woman has extreme highs and lows of desire; my birthsign also says I'm a worrier. I like a good-spirited argument.
Hedy Lamarr

Sagittarius

I don't believe in astrology; I'm a Sagittarius and we're skeptical.
Arthur C. Clarke

Pisces

( For some reason there’re more Pisces Quotes, check for yourselves http://www.brainyquote.com/ enter a sign in the search box, or whatever it’s called. I’m not lying!! lol )

Being a typical Pisces, I might have experienced mood shifts, but I don't remember any depression, or needing to do anything, or to have someone bring me out of being depressed.
Julius Erving

I'm a Pisces. When I was younger, I wondered why people thought I was such a kook, but that's the way Pisceans are. I was what I was supposed to be.
( this is my sig…cute right? )

I'm a Pisces. Pisces are like water washing up on the beach; it takes a lot to get it to inundate people. But like the tide, the emotions are very strong.
Dominic Chianese

Also I can't bear atmosphere - another typically Pisces characteristics - and spend most of my time trying to keep the peace.
Jilly Cooper

I'm hopeless about tax... .typically Pisces.

A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.
Nelson Mandela

Integrate what you believe in every single area of your life. Take your heart to work and ask the most and best of everybody else, too.
Meryl Streep

“I always knew looking back on my tears would bring me laughter, but I never knew looking back on my laughter would make me cry.”
Cat Stevens

A note of Music gains signifigance from silence on either side.
Anne Morrow Lindberg

The World is but a canvas to our imagination.
