Love and Dreams - QuotesThe sound of a kiss is not so loud as that of a cannon, but its echo lasts a great deal longer. Heaven can wait, but I cannot. I cannot take for granted that time is on my side. The incidence of memory is like light from dead stars whose influence lingers long after the events themselves. Radical Son Marriage. Don't be pressured into it. Is the fear of loneliness really greater than the fear of bondage? The dread of loneliness is greater than the fear of bondage, so we get married. Love is only an illusion until it lasts forever. A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets. The Titanic [But] maybe what is important doesn't change. I learned this from Bob Haggart, a good friend in my hometown of Syracuse, New York. Bob had been diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 1988 and was not doing well. He wouldn't live to see the new millennium. I wanted to get his perspective, as someone who knows death is real, about what is important and enduring. But before I could do so, his wife, Brenda, called. Bob was in the hospital. He was too sick to see visitors or to write his regular newspaper column for the Syracuse Post-Standard. Then on Valentine's Day a column by Bob - written on a word processor sneaked into his hospital room by one of his colleagues - appeared in the Post-Standard. "This is my Valentine to Brenda," it reads. "Unfortunately, this Valentine will not look or taste as good as those hearts that grade-school teachers in Kansas helped me cut out and paste on big pieces of red paper. ... So here is my Valentive, composed in my head as Brenda sleeps beside me on my hospital bed. The paper and paste of my Valentine hold straight and true the best words I have ever written in my life. Bob loves Brenda forever." Eleven days later Bob died. I never got to see him or thank him for answering my question. Love endures. Making Sense of the Millennium, National Geographic, Vol. 193, No. 1, January 1998 Maybe part of loving is learning to let go. The Wonder Years Tell me whom you love, and I will tell you who you are. Don't go where the path may lead; go where there is no path and leave a trail. A child does not have to be taught how to be happy or the ways of love. It is fear, hatred, and prejudice that have to be taught. And from the condition of the world we can see that unfortunately there are some very good teachers. Seek the wisdom of the ages, but look at the world through the eyes of a child. It is infinitely more exciting to live a life of catastrophic failures than a life of could-haves, should-haves and would-haves. Memories are meant to fade, Lenny. They're designed that way for a reason. Strange Days Love is so short, and forgetting so long. Es tan corto el amor, y es tan largo el olvido I love you so passionately, that I hide a great part of my love, so as not to oppress you with it. Never be afraid to sit awhile and think. A Raisin in the Sun Those who don't know how to weep with their whole heart, don't know how to laugh either. Behind every advance of the human race is a germ of creation growing in the mind of some lone individual, an individual whose dreams waken him in the night while other contentedly sleeps. And Pooh gave Christopher Robin the biggest Pooh hug he could give because he knew that goodbyes were not far away. It is never any good dwelling on good-byes. It is not the being together that it prolongs, it is the parting. Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds. If you give a smile right now, I'll give you the whole damn world. Dreamers are those who have achieved in love and life, because it is a dream that got them there. You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love. Looking back, I have this to regret, that too often when I loved, I did not say so. You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her. Love can sometimes be magic. But magic can sometimes... just be an illusion. Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken bird that cannot fly. You know what's the most terrifying thing about admitting that you're in love? You're just naked. You put yourself in harm's way and you lay down all your defences. No clothes, no weapons. Nowhere to hide, completely vulnerable. The only thing that makes it tolerable is to believe the other person loves you back and you can trust him not to hurt you. The Sparrow The trouble with illusions is that you aren't aware you have any until they are taken away from you. The Sparrow For you see, each day I love you more. Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow. It is love, not reason, that is stronger than death. Love is the child of illusion and the parent of disillusion. You don't die of a broken heart, you only wish you did. I've been to paradise. But I've never been to me. When your mother dies... that is when you know everybody dies. To love another person is to see the face of God. Les Miserables A huge part of real love is constant forgiveness. Be forewarned, infatuation wears the guise of love. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world. You've got to dance like nobody's watching, and love like it's never going to hurt. Come From The Heart Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Pooh!" he whispered. "Yes, Piglet?'" "Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw. "I just wanted to be sure of you." Dreams are what I am made of. Reality is what I am. Our love can't be measured. It just is. I dream of no rules I dream of following no one I dream of flying I dream of freedom I dream of proving you wrong I dream of not being a doctor I dream that my dream never dies Love is blind, but when we close our eyes, we see with our hearts. My eyes are an ocean in which my dreams are reflected. Love is not blind, it sees more not less; But because it sees more it chooses to see less. |
