Love and Dreams - QuotesThe mind I love must have wild places, a tangled orchard where dark damsons drop in the heavy grass, an overgrown little wood, the chance of a snake or two, a pool that nobody's fathomed the depth of, and paths threaded with flowers planted by the mind. The true beloveds of this world are in their lover's eyes lilacs opening, ship lights, school bells, a landscape, remembered conversations, friends, a child's Sunday, lost voices, one's favorite suit, autumn and all seasons, memory, yes, it being the earth and water of existence, memory. Other Voices, Other Rooms No matter how much a woman loved a man, it would still give her a glow to see him commit suicide for her. Love starts with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop. It's strange how death mocks us, that only in death do we cherish [the ones we love]. Growing Up Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties. It is said that the lonely eagle flies to the mountain peaks while the lowly ant crawls the ground, but cannot the soul of the ant soar as high as the eagle? Please, Mom and Dad... My hands are small - I don't mean to spill my milk My legs are short - Please slow down so I can keep up with you Don't slap my hand when I touch something bright and pretty - I don't understand Please look at me when I talk to you - It lets me know you're really listening My feelings are tender - Don't nag me all day - Let me make mistakes without feeling stupid Don't expect the bed I made or the picture I draw to be perfect - Just love me for trying Remember I am a child not a small adult - Sometimes I don't understand what you are saying I love you so much - Please love me just for being me - Not for the things I can do If a June night could talk, it would probably boast that it invented romance. A heart won't be practical until it can be made unbreakable. The Wizard of Oz Within you I lose myself. Without you I find myself, wanting to be lost again. It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone and a day to love someone... but it takes a lifetime to really forget someone you have grown to love... You know, a heart can be broken, but it still keeps a-beatin' just the same. Fried Green Tomatoes Beauty that is unaware of itself is the most beautiful. When love ends, ask yourself, "Is it better to forgive than forget or is it better to forget than forgive?" I would rather have a moment of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special. Steel Magnolias I regret not the things I have done, only those I have yet to do. Empire Records Dream is not a revelation. If a dream affords the dreamer some light on himself, it is not the person with closed eyes who makes the discovery but the person with open eyes lucid enough to fit thoughts together. Dream - a scintillating mirage surrounded by shadows - is essentially poetry. Dreams come true; without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them. You will soon break the bow if you keep it always stretched. Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction. Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: "It might have been!" If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars. My only love, sprung from my only hate. Romeo & Juliet Love is like playing the piano. First you must learn to play by the rules, then you must forget the rules and play from your heart. Love is something that you can leave behind you when you die. It's that powerful. Native American proverb If only I can love you, for loving me... Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven A mighty pain to love it is, And it is a pain that pain to miss; But of all pains the greatest pain, It is to love, but love in vain... Don't marry the person you think you can live with; marry only the individual you think you can't live without. There must be such a thing as a child with average ability, but you can't find a parent who will admit that it is his child... Start a program for gifted children, and every parent demands that his child be enrolled. Likely as not, the child you can do the least with will do the most to make you proud. Children need love, especially when they do not deserve it. The last day of school before summer vacation is the shortest day of a mother's year. Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. I always knew that looking back at my tears would make me laugh, but I never thought that looking back at my laughter would make me cry. I was born when you kissed me, and I died when you left me, but I lived for the two weeks you loved me. If you want to make your dreams come true, the first thing you have to do is wake up. Lost in you, I found myself. Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you But in your dreams whatever they be Dream a little dream of me. Women would be more charming if one could fall into her arms without falling into her hands. Epigrams Sometimes, after you've tried everything, breaking up is the best thing to do. Growing Up Were we too strong to let our love die or were we just too weak to kill it? If we think of love as in itself the answer to all the problems human beings face, we will constantly be disappointed by it. If we search for perfection in a mate and refuse to be satisfied by anything less than that, we will never really experience sexual or marital love. If we are unwilling to undergo the interpersonal negotiations...we will never be able to give our love to anyone. Since love does not simply happen, as I have been suggesting, it must emerge as the saving remnant of our endless yearning for happy and meaningful lives. The Pursuit of Love Love is not obedience, conformity, or submission. It is a counterfeit love that is contingent upon authority, punishment, or reward. True love is respect and admiration, compassion and kindness, freely given by a healthy, unafraid human being. Love is growing old together, contentedly. Sharing a sunset as you've shared your lives. Happy that your worlds are entwined. There are many kinds of love, each satisfying in its own way... The love of beginnings and of passion, gradually replaced by the steady knowing that another wants to be by your side year in, year out, come what may... the love that you feel when holding your baby in your arms, nuzzling her hair, kissing his neck, knowing it all turned out right when she grows up, when he's taller than you, and being with them all gives you incredible joy... the love for the sweet, soft cats who fill your house and your arms when the nest is empty and your heart is heavy. Love is all of that, and more... She has fallen asleep I cradle her in my arms And watch the soft rain I've always believed that you shouldn't want to mend a broken heart, because that's someone you don't want to forget. Scars can be good. If I knew that, I'd fall in love over and over again. Hearts aren't supposed to be mended. If you fall in love and it doesn't work out, you get a broken heart. What comes out of that will make you a better lover and partner next time. |
