"I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.." -- Nicholas Sparks"Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love." -- Rainer Maria Rilke "To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget." -- Arundhati Roy ------------------
"The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die. As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions; they cease to be mind." — Friedrich Nietzsche IP: Logged |

I love that Rilke quote especially!Here are some: Between whom there is hearty truth, there is love.
-Henry David Thoreau
To love a person is to learn the song
That is in their heart,
And to sing it to them
When they have forgotten.
-Arne Garborg
Love is space and time measured by the heart.
-Marcel Proust To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your life depends on it; and when the time comes, to let go.

* LOVE...We think about it, sing about it, dream about it, lose sleep worrying about it. When we don't have it, we search for it; when we discover it, we don't know what to do with it; when we have it, we fear losing it. It is the constant source of pleasure and pain, but we can't predict which it will be from one moment to the next. It is a short word, easy to spell, difficult to define, impossible to live without. Love doesn't make the world go 'round. It's what makes the ride worthwhile. You can look all over for love but you won't find it because you can't see love you must feel it* IP: Logged |

"What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes a part of us." --- Helen Keller"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close." --- Pablo Neruda ------------------

“To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world.” -Brandi Snyder"Do I love you because you're beautiful,
Or are you beautiful because I love you?"
~Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, Cinderella "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind."
~William Shakespeare, Mid-Summer Night's Dream, 1595 "We loved with a love that was more than love." ~Edgar Allan Poe "People who are sensible about love are incapable of it." ~Douglas Yates "He felt now that he was not simply close to her, but that he did not know where he ended and she began.

Venus in libra square neptune, conjuct mercury"Love is such a little word, but oh the power it holds,
The hearts that it has broken, the lies that it has told..." -Patricia Hunt "Love is like an ocean
With many ups and downs."-David A Lewis "Why is love intensified by absence?" -Audrey Nikenegger (This is such a venus-neptune quote! Haha) "Love is the most fulfilling
and beautiful feeling in the world

get hurt
or that the other person
won't love you
There is a risk in everything you do
and the rewards
are never so great
as what love can bring"-Susan Polis Schutz "People in love do strange things." ------------

“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.” ~ Louis de Bernières,

“It doesn’t interest me
what you do for a living.
I want to know
what you ache for
and if you dare to dream
of meeting your heart’s longing.It doesn’t interest me
how old you are.
I want to know
if you will risk
looking like a fool
for love
for your dream
for the adventure of being alive. It doesn’t interest me
what planets are
squaring your moon...
I want to know
if you have touched
the centre of your own sorrow
if you have been opened
by life’s betrayals
or have become shriveled and closed
from fear of further pain. I want to know
if you can sit with pain
mine or your own
without moving to hide it
or fade it
or fix it. I want to know
if you can be with joy
mine or your own
if you can dance with wildness
and let the ecstasy fill you
to the tips of your fingers and toes
without cautioning us
to be careful
to be realistic
to remember the limitations
of being human. It doesn’t interest me
if the story you are telling me
is true.
I want to know if you can
disappoint another
to be true to yourself.
If you can bear
the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul.
If you can be faithless
and therefore trustworthy. I want to know if you can see Beauty
even when it is not pretty
every day.
And if you can source your own life
from its presence. I want to know
if you can live with failure
yours and mine
and still stand at the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,
“Yes.” It doesn’t interest me
to know where you live
or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up
after the night of grief and despair
weary and bruised to the bone
and do what needs to be done
to feed the children. It doesn’t interest me
who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand
in the centre of the fire
with me
and not shrink back. It doesn’t interest me
where or what or with whom
you have studied.
I want to know
what sustains you
from the inside
when all else falls away. I want to know
if you can be alone
with yourself
and if you truly like
the company you keep
in the empty moments."
