Love
Quotes - Throw your dreams into space like a kite
“The
sunlight claps the earth, and the moonbeams kiss the sea: what are all these
kissings worth, if thou kiss not me?”
―
Percy Bysshe Shelley
“If
you stay, I'll do whatever you want. I'll quit the band, go with you to New
York. But if you need me to go away, I'll do that, too. I was talking to Liz
and she said maybe coming back to your old life would be too painful, that
maybe it'd be easier for you to erase us. And that would suck, but I'd do it. I
can lose you like that if I don't lose you today. I'll let you go. If you
stay.”
―
Gayle Forman, If I Stay
“Being
with you never felt wrong. It's the one thing I did right. You're the one thing
I did right.”

“This
is where it all begins. Everything starts here, today.”

David Nicholls, One Day
“I
am not an angel,' I asserted; 'and I will not be one till I die: I will be
myself. Mr. Rochester, you must neither expect nor exact anything celestial of
me - for you will not get it, any more than I shall get it of you: which I do
not at all anticipate.”
―
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
“So
it’s true, when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love.”

lose balance sometimes for love is part of living a balanced
life.”

Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything
“Stop
fighting me!" he said, trying to pull on the arm he held.
He
was in a precarious position himself, straddling the rail as he tried to lean
over far enough to get me and actually hold onto me.
“Let
go of me!” I yelled back.
But
he was too strong and managed to haul most of me over the rail, enough so that
I wasn’t in total danger of falling again.
See,
here’s the thing. In that moment before I let go, I really had been
contemplating my death. I’d come to terms with it and accepted it. I also,
however, had known Dimitri might do something exactly like this. He was just
that fast and that good. That was why I was holding my stake in the hand that
was dangling free.
I
looked him in the eye. "I will always love you."
Then
I plunged the stake into his chest.
It wasn’t
as precise a blow as I would have liked, not with the skilled way he was
dodging. I struggled to get the stake in deep enough to his heart, unsure if I
could do it from this angle. Then, his struggles stopped. His eyes stared at
me, stunned, and his lips parted, almost into a smile, albeit a grisly and
pained one.
"That’s
what I was supposed to say. . .” he gasped out.
Those
were his last words.”

Richelle Mead, Blood Promise
“This
is what we call love. When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When
you are loved, there's no need at all to understand what's happening, because
everything happens within you.”
―
Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
“sex
is the consolation you have when you can't have love”
―
Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez
“Of
course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each
other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means
accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of
absence.”
―
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, ANTOINE DE SAINT-EXUPERY - MAN
“In
the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to
defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him. I think it’s impossible
to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love
them the way they love themselves. And then, in that very moment when I love
them.... I destroy them.”
―
Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game
“Have
I told you how hideous you look tonight?” Cardan asks, leaning back in the
elaborately carved chair, the warmth of his words turning the question into
something like a compliment.
“No”
I say, glad to be annoyed back into the present. “Tell me.”
"I
can't.”
―
Holly Black, The Cruel Prince
“If
we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each
other.”
―
Mother Teresa
“Do
you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain and little, I am soulless and
heartless? You think wrong! - I have as much soul as you, - and full as much
heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have
made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you!”
―
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
“Yours
is the light by which my spirit's born: - you are my sun, my moon, and all my
stars.”
―
E.E. Cummings
“If
you can love someone with your whole heart, even one person, then there's
salvation in life. Even if you can't get together with that person.”
―
Haruki Murakami, 1Q84
“You
know it's never fifty-fifty in a marriage. It's always seventy-thirty, or
sixty-forty. Someone falls in love first. Someone puts someone else up on a
pedestal. Someone works very hard to keep things rolling smoothly; someone else
sails along for the ride.”
―
Jodi Picoult, Mercy
“Of
course you can have a true Shadowhunter name," Will said. "You can
have mine."
Tessa
stared at him, all black and white against the black-and-white snow and stone.
"Your name?"
Will
took a step toward her, till they stood face-to-face. Then he reached to take
her hand and slid off her glove, which he put into his pocket. He held her bare
hand in his, his fingers curved around hers. His hand was warm and callused,
and his touch made her shiver. His eyes were steady and blue; they were
everything that Will was: true and tender, sharp and witty, loving and kind.
"Marry me," he said. "Marry me, Tess. Marry me and be called
Tessa Herondale. Or be Tessa Gray, or be whatever you wish to call yourself,
but marry me and stay with me and never leave me, for I cannot bear another day
of my life to go by that does not have you in it.”

Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Princess
“My
wish is that you may be loved to the point of madness.”

André Breton, What Is Surrealism?: Selected Writings
“livid,
adj.
Fuck
You for cheating on me. Fuck you for reducing it to the word cheating. As if
this were a card game, and you sneaked a look at my hand. Who came up with the
term cheating, anyway? A cheater, I imagine. Someone who thought liar was too
harsh. Someone who thought devastator was too emotional. The same person who
thought, oops, he’d gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Fuck you.
This isn’t about slipping yourself an extra twenty dollars of Monopoly money.
These are our lives. You went and broke our lives. You are so much worse than a
cheater. You killed something. And you killed it when its back was turned.”
