“We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love—true love.”
― Robert Fulghum, True Love
“Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.”
― Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
― Anonymous, Holy Bible: New International Version
The Love that runs in us, and to us and through us...
Is a love that can change as others we trust
A heart can turn soft as a pillow
Or that same heart begin to rust
A heart can become a dove
Full of freedom and life
Or a heart can become a stone
Heavy, surrounded by weeds overgrown
A heart can be light as feather
Drifting and floating like the wind
Or a heart can become a cage
That the power of love is trapped in
A heart can become a field of wild flowers
Fragrant and ready to bloom
Or a heart can become an urn
Hope turned to ashes and filled with doom
A heart can become a a place of hope
Or a place of sin
A place where you run to hide
Or where you invite others in
A heart is fragile
Not a beat it misses
A delicate instrument
Full of lyrical blisses
So when you hold
Or shape another's heart
Do it with the kind of love
That is a true art
“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect - you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.”
― Bob Marley
“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.
A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.
A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master...”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love
“The one you love and the one who loves you are never, ever the same person.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters
