If your love is not as strong as a tidal wave, I will not be moved.

I’m only ever in two places – with you or on the way.

My love rumbles like the sternum of a lion. Be mindful of the beast you stir up.

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

I have you in one world, but I need you in two: the hands and the heart, just one won’t do.

Sometimes I feel like a kid wanting nothing more than to squeeze you tight and call you mine.

I always loved you, and if one loves anyone, one loves the whole person, just as they are and not as one would like them to be. -Dolly (Anna Karenina)

We may tell ourselves that love is not really available. But the deeper truth is that we don’t entirely trust it, and therefore have a hard time fully opening to it or letting it all the way into us. This disconnects us from our own heart, exacerbating our sense of love’s scarcity.

A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks.

Love is real, love is pure, you only take what you give and give what you take. At its purest it is real. No pretending.

The more we love our friends, the less we flatter them; it is by excusing nothing that pure love shows itself.

Perhaps love is the process of my leading you gently back to yourself.

But the law of loving others could not be discovered by reason, because it is unreasonable.

Men make love more intensely at 20, but make love better, however, at 30.

I’m fine with the ups and downs in our story as long as the theme is love.

He was afraid of defiling the love which filled his soul.

When she laughed she was beautiful, when she cried she was beautiful, but, when she was determined she was sexy as hell.

Everything is clearer when you’re in love.

Love is not liking somebody. Anyone can do that. Love is loving things that sometimes you don’t like.

They are different now than they were. My mother never had to say she was a queen to be one. I instinctively knew. So it makes sense now that I am sorely confused by the women who try to convince me with words.

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