Lasting love and forgiveness are two sides of the same page.

The best thing that’s ever happened to me is still happening.

Give the love that you pray for; someone’s been praying to have it.

If you can’t hurt with me, don’t flirt with me.

I’d tell you how beautiful you look today, but there’s not enough time before sunset to tell how you set fire to a sundress; my mouth is overflowing from yesterday.

Women should serve men. Men should serve women. Any house of peace is full of servants.

I’m searching for something that I can’t reach.

Don’t ever let anyone keep your heart on a shelf just to take it down whenever it is convenient for them to feel.

Love, though said to be afflicted with blindness, is a vigilant watchman.

Drownin’ in the sea of love where everyone would love to drown.

I stopped believing in love at first sight. I think you go through that wonderful love stage, but when it gets hard, you need a little bit more.

My father, soft as rainclouds, my mother, hard as hail, prepared me to take the world by storm.

When we know love matters more than anything, and we know that nothing else REALLY matters, we move into the state of surrender. Surrender does not diminish our power, it enhances it.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Every heart has its own skeletons.

Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.

The opposite of love isn’t hate. It isn’t even indifference. It’s fear.

Love is louder than the pressure to be perfect.

Love is the absence of judgment.

I hope you find a love. Your own designs of love.

Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination.
