Love
Quotes - I like flaws
“Catherine
Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living. You said I killed you--haunt
me then. The murdered do haunt their murderers. I believe--I know that ghosts
have wandered the earth. Be with me always--take any form--drive me mad. Only
do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! It is
unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!”

“When
God Created Mothers"
When
the Good Lord was creating mothers, He was into His sixth day of
"overtime" when the angel appeared and said. "You're doing a lot
of fiddling around on this one."
And
God said, "Have you read the specs on this order?" She has to be
completely washable, but not plastic. Have 180 moveable parts...all
replaceable. Run on black coffee and leftovers. Have a lap that disappears when
she stands up. A kiss that can cure anything from a broken leg to a
disappointed love affair. And six pairs of hands."
The
angel shook her head slowly and said. "Six pairs of hands.... no
way."
It's
not the hands that are causing me problems," God remarked, "it's the
three pairs of eyes that mothers have to have."
That's
on the standard model?" asked the angel. God nodded.
One
pair that sees through closed doors when she asks, 'What are you kids doing in
there?' when she already knows. Another here in the back of her head that sees
what she shouldn't but what she has to know, and of course the ones here in
front that can look at a child when he goofs up and say. 'I understand and I
love you' without so much as uttering a word."
God,"
said the angel touching his sleeve gently, "Get some rest
tomorrow...."
I
can't," said God, "I'm so close to creating something so close to
myself. Already I have one who heals herself when she is sick...can feed a
family of six on one pound of hamburger...and can get a nine year old to stand
under a shower."
The
angel circled the model of a mother very slowly. "It's too soft," she
sighed.
But
tough!" said God excitedly. "You can imagine what this mother can do
or endure."
Can
it think?"
Not
only can it think, but it can reason and compromise," said the Creator.
Finally,
the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek.
There's
a leak," she pronounced. "I told You that You were trying to put too
much into this model."
It's
not a leak," said the Lord, "It's a tear."
What's
it for?"
It's
for joy, sadness, disappointment, pain, loneliness, and pride."
You
are a genius, " said the angel.
Somberly,
God said, "I didn't put it there.”

“In
your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance
inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight
becomes this art.”

Stieg Larsson, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
“I
know we're fucked up, alright? I'm impulsive, and hot tempered, and you get
under my skin like no one else. You act like you hate me one minute, and then
need me the next. I never get anything right, and I don't deserve you...but I
fucking love you, Abby. I love you more than I loved anyone or anything ever.
When you're around, I don't need booze, or money, or the fighting, or the
one-night stands...”

“I
guess that’s just part of loving people: You have to give things up. Sometimes
you even have to give them up.”

Lauren Oliver, Delirium
“When
I say it's you I like, I'm talking about that part of you that knows that life
is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of
you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot
survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and
justice that proves more powerful than greed.”

Fred Rogers

“Sorrow
is how we learn to love. Your heart isn't breaking. It hurts because it's
getting larger. The larger it gets, the more love it holds.”
