In the cookie of life, friends are chocolate chips.


A man who invents himself needs someone to believe in him... Not only the need to be believed in, but the need to believe in another. You've got it: Love.

Salman Rushdie


I've been to all parts of this grand world and have seen no great tragedy than the heart that loves and sees it not returned. The tragedy, of course, is for both parties.

A pity beyond all telling is hid in the heart of love.

Of all the flowers in the Garden, there are a few that wilt and die. That's something we should both remember, when its time to say goodbye.

Audie Kirk Harrelson


One of the most dangerous things you can ask for when it comes to love, is a warranty card.

Jason Q.


The true trial of a dream is its translation into truth. Passions can fade, dreams can become hazed. Attention must be paid.

Richard Smith

I will set you free, to roam in lands far away, and hope you return. If and when you do come back, I shall hold you, and kiss you to make my world right. And then I will set you free once more.

Anne Forehand


Suddenly, quietly, you realize that - from this moment forth - you will no longer walk through this life alone. Like a new sun this awareness arises within you, freeing you from fear, opening your life. It is the beginning of love, and the end of all that came before.

Robert Frost

(contributed by Annie)


Your life and my life flow into each other as wave flows into wave, and unless there is peace and joy and freedom for you, there can be no real peace or joy or freedom for me. To see reality--not as we expect it to be but as it is--is to see that unless we live for each other and in and through each other, we do not really live very satisfactorily; that there can really be life only where there really is, in just this sense, love.

Frederick Buechner
The Magnificent Defeat

Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell.

Nothing spoils the taste of peanut butter like unrequited love.

They call them fools, who are unable to resist the slightest chance love might exist.

When I told you I loved you, I meant it, but only because I wanted to please you. When I touched you, and my eyes told you I loved you, I meant it because I'm bad at lying.

Claire Breaux


Poetry is an impish attempt to paint the color of the wind.

I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you want the rest of your life to begin as soon as possible.

One must never attempt to explain love, for in doing so, he undermines what love is all about -- unquestioned devotion.

Ben Sumlin


And all my days are trances,
And all my nightly dreams
Are where thy dark eye glances,
And where thy footstep gleams
In what ethereal dances
By what eternal streams.

Edgar Allen Poe
To One in Paradise


The one that loves the least controls the relationship.

And turns again
A broken promise

When I met you, I was afraid to like you; When I liked you, I was afraid to kiss you; When I kissed you I was afraid to love you; Now I love you and I'm afraid to lose you.

(contributed by Brenna)


If I give you my idea and you give me yours, then we each have two ideas, and together we have four.

Belly to the sun
a hand on the small of your back
of me, this remains

Matt Berry


O You whom I often and silently come where you are, that I may be with you;
As I walk by your side, or sit near, or remain in the same room with you,
Little you know the subtle electric fire that for your sake is playing within me.

Walt Whitman


There is an insistence throughout on the right to dream, the right to paint the grass blue, the right to reach up to the stars which is impossible in a photographic facsimile of nature.


There are only two people who can tell you the truth about yourself: an enemy who has lost his temper and a friend who loves you dearly.

Antisthenes


We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can fly only by embracing each other.

Lucian deCrezenco


Words can crush things that are unseen.

Sometimes someone says something really small, and it just fits right into this empty place in your heart.

Angel
My So-Called Life


Whoever claimed that love is like a roller coaster, didn't know what they were talking about, because love has no safety belts in case you fall out.

Becky Meynell


She's talking in her sleep, it's keeping me awake, and Anna begins to toss and turn, and every word is nonsense, but I understand.

Losing my heart to you is like losing my individuality, but I don't care because I've got you to care about.

The best thing you ever did for me was to help me take life less seriously. It's only life after all.

When you dream, there are no rules. People can fly; anything can happen. Sometimes, there's a moment as you're waking, and you become aware of the real world around you; but you're still dreaming. You may think you can fly, but you better not try.

Astral Projection

Some people meet that somebody that they can never stop loving no matter how hard they try. I wouldn't expect you to understand that or even believe it. But trust me, some loves just don't go away.

You can't return to the place you never left.

U2
Deep In The Heart

(contributed by Remijio)


Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up these defenses, you build this whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life. You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They do something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own any more. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination, not just in the mind. It's a soul hurt, a body hurt... gets inside you and rips you apart pain. I hate love.

Neil Gaiman

Rain
Rain plays piano on Dad's car;
Rain plays xylophone on Sister's head;
Rain plays drums on the ground;
Rain ballet dances on flowering petals;
Rain is a wonderful musician.

Never let a probem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved.

Barbara Johnson
The Joy Journal


Courtship is exciting and romantic because it thrives on the edge of disaster. It co-exists with the threat that, at any moment, it could fall apart and be lost forever.

Karen Linamen
Pillow Talk: The Intimate Marriage From A to Z


It's the things in common that make relationships enjoyable, but it's the little difference that make them interesting.

Todd Ruthman


We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep.

William Shakespeare


In my dream, the Angel shrugged and said, "If we fail this time, it will be a failure of imagination." And then she placed the world gently in the palm of my hand.

(contributed by Don)


Do you want me to tell you something subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.

Erica Jong


I traveled half a world to forget her, but all I did was miss her.

I am forever changed, because of who you are, and what you have meant to me.

Chasing Amy

(contributed by Lee Cross)


Hey, I've got a great compliment for you. I might be the only person on the face of the earth that knows you're the greatest woman on earth. I may be the only one who appreciates how you are in every single thing that you do; and how you are with Spencer, Spence, and in every single thought that you have and how you say what you mean and how you almost always mean something that's all about being straight and good. I think most people miss that about you. I watch them, how they can watch you bring their food and clear their tables and never get that they just met the greatest woman alive. The fact that I get it, makes me feel good, about me.

Jack Nicholson
As Good As It Gets


How could I be so immature to think you could replace the missing elements in me. How extremely lazy of me.

Bjork


Death has never been so feared as the day love was born.

I can only think of one important question that came to me as a shooting star shot across the sky at the late hours of the night. Will you marry me?

Keith Famie

I believed in love for a while. Now I believe in love kinda like I believe in the lottery. It's always happening to someone else.

(contributed by Bat-Winged Boy)


Anything less than mad, passionate, extraordinary love is a waste of time. There are too many mediocre things in life to deal with, and love shouldn't be one of them.

Frankie
Dream for an Insomniac

(contributed by Rory Miller)


Love is fed by the imagination, by which we become wiser than we know, better than we feel, nobler than we are; by which we can see life as a whole: by which and which alone, we can understand others in their real as in their ideal relations.

Oscar Wilde

Love truth, but pardon error.

My love for him was so exquisitely pure that if we all were capable of giving and receiving such a beautiful gift the world would be a far more brilliant place; I think we'd all be poets.

Elizabeth Barrett
The Center of my Universe

(contributed by buttercupthegreat@prontomail.com)


'Do you love me?' I asked him, seemingly out of the blue but in my own mind the question had been rolling off my lips for some time. He just looked at me with his head cocked to one side as if to say 'what on earth do you mean?'. I persisted 'Do you love me? It's a simple question Michael.' He paused, took a deep breath drawing words into his mouth. 'I do, yes. I love you Nathalie.' I think in any other mindset I would have ran into his arms and told him that he'd made me the happiest woman in the world, but it's a funny thing when the delusion wears off and you see someone in their truth for the first time... I was hardened, he was lying, nobody was wrong or right at this point and no matter how many 'I love you's would leave our lips, we had reached our end.

Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.

There are two types of compassion. One - is faint-hearted and sentimental. Actually, it is nothing more than impatience of the heart, that is hurrying to get rid of that hard feeling when you see other peoples' sufferings; this is not a compassion, but just an instinct will to defence yourself from misforunes of others. But there is another compassion - real one, that demands for actions, not sentiments, it knows what it wants, and it is full of determination to do everything, what is in human power and even beyond it.

No matter how perfect is physical beauty of a girl, if she could trample and not to appreciate the love, she doesn't worth of being loved.

Some pursue happiness - others create it.


A man has not known true pain until he has torn his own heart in two, in order to keep it from becoming broken.

David Brandenburg


Love is like a fire, it crackles and lights up, sometimes burning out immediatly, sometimes never dying... but most of the time it just flames up and then burns nearly out, leaving a single flame, of which you could relight it and keep it going for eternity on. Even the tiniest flame can turn into a wildfire.

A child who lost his dog yesterday knows more of love than some of have spent a lifetime in it.

Tamra


Now that you are gone, the sun which you were in my life has vanished, and my world is dark and cold. I do miss you so much. I know that things have to move on and I am trying my best to cope.

I look forward to the end of the day when I can finally lie down and rest. I dream of you every night - beautiful, happy dreams. And there is nothing I fear more than waking up in the morning and finding you no longer beside me.

Jason Q.


Looking back, I wish I could bottle the stuff that made it better, but how can one bottle time?

I feel like falling in love with the first woman I meet, putting her in a wheel-barrow and wheeling her down the street.

Bob Dylan


Be humble, for you are made of the earth. Be noble, for you are made of the stars.

Serbian proverb


Why is it better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all? I don't get it. If you've never loved, you don't know what you're missing.

It's only when you've experienced it firsthand that the idea of losing it can seem so intolerably painful, so nauseatingly frightening, surely?

Ignorance is bliss, as they say.

For this reason I believe there should be separate phrases.

1. "It's better to be in love than never to have loved at all."

2. "It's better to be hit by a truck than to have loved and lost."

The conflict between the reason and love kills the heart, the same as the country will be demolished if the civil war starts.

I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss of her mouth, one touch of her hand, than an eternity without it. One

I never dreamed cause I always thought that dreaming was for kids, just a childish thing, and I can swear love is just a game that children play but no more than a game, till I met you.

If you choose not to return, I will understand. Your absence will be of my own doing. But at the same time my existence will be utterly miserable without you by my side. I will shiver, for you are my warmth - I will be lonely, for you are my friend - I will be lost, for you are my guide. Everything good in me, no matter how small, you discover. I long to see your smile in the morning, to feel your touch in the evening. Please, Kathryn, return and grant me your forgiveness.
