QUOTES

“Love is a noble act of self-giving - offering trust, faith and loyalty amidst all threats of pain.
The more you love, the more you lose a part of you...yet you don’t become less of who you
are; you just end up being complete.”

“Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it
subsides, you have a to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have
so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part.”
~Louis de Bernières, Captain Corelli’s Mandolin

“There’s no bad consequence to loving fully, with all your heart. You always gain by giving
love. It’s like that beautiful Shakespeare quote from Romeo and Juliet: ‘My bounty is as
boundless as the sea. My love is deep. The more I give to thee, the more I have. For both
are infinite.’”
~Reese Witherspoon

“The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or
synagogue. It’s a choice you make--not just on your wedding day, but over and over
again--and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife.”
~Barbara de Angelis

“To love is good, too: love being difficult. For one human being to love another: that is
perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work
for which all other work is but preparation. I hold this to be the highest task for a bond
between two people: that each protects the solitude of the other. This is the miracle that
happens every time to those who really love: the more they give, the more they
possess...Love is a high inducement to the individual to ripen, to become something in
himself, to become world for himself for another’s sake, it is a great exacting claim upon
him, something that chooses him out and calls him to vast things.”
~Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without
problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving
but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my
hand, so intimate then when I fall asleep your eyes close.”
~Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives
you courage.”
~Lao Tzu

"What greater thing is there for two human souls, than to feel that they are joined for
life--to strength each other in all labor, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to
each other in silent unspeakable memories at the moment of the last parting?"
~George Eliot

“A great marriage is not when the ‘perfect couple’ comes together. It is when an
imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.”
~Dave Meurer
“But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread
softly because you tread on my dreams.”
~W.B. Yeats

“We need a witness to our lives. There’s a billion people on the planet... I mean, what
does anyone life really mean? But in a marriage, you’re promising to care about
everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things... all
of it, all of the time, every day. You’re saying, ‘Your life will not go unnoticed because I
will notice it. Your life will not go unwitnessed because I will be your witness.’”
~Shall We Dance?

“Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence,
sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than
perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.”
~Ann Landers

“For one human being to love another human being: that is perhaps the most difficult
task that has been given to us, the ultimate, the final problem and proof, the work for
which all other work is merely preparation.”
~Rainer Maria Rilke

“I know it’s a cornball thing, but love is passion, obsession; someone you can’t live
without. If you don’t start with that, what are you going to end up with? I say fall head
over heels. Find someone you love like crazy and who’ll love you the same way back. And
how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart... Run the risk. If you get
hurt, you’ll come back. Because the truth is, there is no sense living your life without this.
To make the journey and not fall deeply in love -- well, you haven’t lived a life at all. You
have to try. Because if you haven’t tried, you haven’t lived... Stay open. Who knows?
Lightning could strike.”
~William Parrish, Meet Joe Black
