Love is real, real is love. John Lennon
Love is a friendship set to music. Joseph Campbell
The most precious gift we can offer anyone is
our attention. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom
like flowers. Thich Nhat Hanh
Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. James Baldwin
Love is now, is always. All that is missing is the coup de grâce — which is called passion. Clarice Lispector
when you love someone / you are scared of getting hurt / and you will get hurt Brandon Scott Gorrell
And now we’re apart and you’re just some
stranger who knows all my secrets and all my family members and all my
quirks and flaws and it doesn’t make sense. Gaby Dunn
He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the
two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least
once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and
making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t
going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he
will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt
him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t
analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and
miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had.
Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is
perfect for you.
Bob Marley

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
What most people call loving consists of
picking out a woman and marrying her. They pick her out, I swear, I’ve
seen them. As if you could pick in love, as if it were not a lightning
bolt that splits your bones and leaves you staked out in the middle of
the courtyard. They probably say that they pick her out
because-they-love-her, I think it’s just the siteoppo. Beatrice wasn’t
picked out, Juliet wasn’t picked out. You don’t pick out the rain that
soaks you to a skin when you come out of a concert.
