You smiled and talked to me of nothing and I felt that for this I had been waiting long.
Rabindranath Tagore
Love is a rebellious bird,
that nobody can tame,
and you call him quite in vain,
if it suits him not to come.
The worst thing: to give yourself away in exchange for not enough love.
Joyce Carol Oates
At the end as at the start, and through all the in-betweens, I love you.
Amal El-Mohtar
A man when he is making up to anybody can be cordial and gallant and full of little attentions and altogether charming. But when a man is really in love he can’t help looking like a sheep.
Agatha Christie
You get use to someone—start to like them, even—and they leave. In the end, everyone leaves.
Rachel Ward
If I love you more than you love me, I’m as good as dead. Yet I can’t make myself take it back. I can’t just walk away from you, because every time you pass by me without smiling, without touching my hand, or at least making eye contact, it feels like I’m dying inside.
Rachel Vincent
The sunlight claps the earth, and the moonbeams kiss the sea: what are all these kissings worth, if thou kiss not me?
A person learns how to love himself through the simple acts of loving and being loved by someone else.
Haruki Murakami
Unconditional love really exists in each of us. It is part of our deep inner being. It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being. It’s not ‘I love you’ for this or that reason, not ‘I love you if you love me.’ It’s love for no reason, love without an object.
Say it,” I gritted out.
“The High Lord of the Night Court is your mate.
Sarah J. Maas
There isn’t any formula or method. You learn to love by loving – by paying attention and doing what one thereby discovers has to be done.
And if you couldn’t be loved, the next best thing was to be let alone.
L.M. Montgomery
Nothing had changed. I was the stupid one again. I was the girl who never understood who she was to people.
Carol Rifka Brunt
The minute you decide to do what you love to do, you have made a life plan for yourself and a career choice.
I don’t understand the point of being together if you’re not the happiest.
Gillian Flynn
Cassia.
I know which life is my real one now, no matter what happens. It’s the one with you. For some reason, knowing that even one person knows my story makes things different. Maybe it’s like the poem says. Maybe this is my way of not going gentle.
I love you. (Ky Markham)
Ally Condie
We outgrow love like other things and put it in a drawer, till it an antique fashion shows like costumes grandsires wore.
Emily Dickinson
I go to sleep alone, and wake up alone. I take walks. I work until I’m tired. I watch the wind play with the trash that’s been under the snow all winter. Everything seems simple until you think about it. Why is love intensified by abscence?
I have been loving you a little more every minute since this morning.
Victor Hugo
You put me through hell. On purpose. Made me suffer. And there’s no end in sight. I don’t know what the fuck you’re doing, ace, but this Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde shit ain’t cutting it with me.
Sylvia Day
Westley: This is true love — you think this happens every day?
William Goldman
For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.
Anyone who falls in love is searching for the missing pieces of themselves. So anyone who’s in love gets sad when they think of their lover. It’s like stepping back inside a room you have fond memories of, one you haven’t seen in a long time.
If someone were to harm my family or a friend or somebody I love, I would eat them. I might end up in jail for 500 years, but I would eat them.
Love knows not distance; it hath no continent; its eyes are for the stars.
In this whole screwed-up town, you’re the only thing that’s always been right to me,” he whispered. “I love you, Claire.” She saw something that might have been just a flash of panic go across his expression, but then he steadied again. “I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I do. I love you.
Rachel Caine
Living with him is like being told a perpetual story: his mind is the biggest, most imaginative I have ever met. I could live in its growing countries forever.
She can be a nightmare, but this still feels better than any dream.
Penelope Douglas
Find a woman who makes you feel more alive. She won’t make life perfect but she’ll make it infinitely more interesting. And then love her with all that’s in you.
Gayle G. Roper
Perhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in love represent a normal state. Being in love shows a person who he should be.
Anton Chekhov
Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command.
And then he gives me a smile that just seems so genuinely sweet with just the right touch of shyness that unexpected warmth rushes through me.
I promise to keep doing my best, living up to my fans’ love and supports.
If he knew, if he only knew that I was giving him every chance to put two and two together and come up with a number bigger than infinity.
André Aciman
I love you as certain dark things are loved, secretly, between the shadow and the soul.
It’s not that I can’t live without you; it’s that I don’t want to. There’s a difference. We all make choices in life and I choose you.
My heart belongs to you. And I’m not asking for it back, even if you won’t want it anymore. I’m just asking for a chance to have your again. I promise I’ll be more careful with it this time.
J. Sterling
Why is it that words like these seem dull and cold? Is it because there is no word tender enough to be your name?
James Joyce
There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more.
If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden.
Claudia Adrienne Grandi
It is better to have an enemy who will fight you in an open field then a lover who will kill you in your sleep.
Marie Lu
Watch carefully
the magic that occurs
when you give a person
enough comfort
to just be themselves.
Atticus Poetry
…to be in a relationship with God is to be loved purely and furiously. And a person who thinks himself unlovable cannot be in a relationship with God because he can’t accept who God is; a Being that is love. We learn that we are lovable or unlovable from other people…That is why God tells us so many times to love each other.
Donald Miller
Love to me was honesty. Being real. Knowing someone’s best and worst. Love was a push that said someone believed in you when you didn’t.
Mariana Zapata
Love is a state in which a man sees things most decidedly as they are not.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
My life-my whole life- take it, and do with it what you will. I love you-love you as I have never loved any living thing. From the moment I met you I loved you, loved you blindly, adoringly,madly!
You didn’t know it then-you know it now.
Oscar Wilde
Sometimes you know you’ve got a chance with a girl because she wants to fight with you. If the world wasn’t so messed up, it wouldn’t be like that. If the world was normal, a girl being nice to you would be a good sign, but in the real world, it isn’t.
Nick Hornby
We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love.
David Mitchell
We are not people who touch each other carelessly; every point of contact between us feels important, a rush of energy and relief.
Veronica Roth
