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

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

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

You first.’ The only way love works.

There’s nothing more romantic than getting down in the dirt and plowing through the weeds, brambles, thickets, and dry land of life with someone just as willing by your side.

My heart must be bigger than my brain – blocking it out of all my decisions, so that I cannot think past the way I feel.

I live in the realm of romantic possibility.

I never met a woman I didn’t like. I love ’em all, in their different ways.

The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.

Love is what we’re born with. Fear is what we learned here.

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.

Constancy in love is a good thing; but it means nothing, and is nothing, without constancy in every kind of effort.

I hope that real love and truth are stronger in the end than any evil or misfortune in the world.

Love can be hard. Love requires you to be kind when you are angry, patient when you feel anxious, compassionate when you judge others, caring when you feel apathetic, trust when you’ve been wronged, let go when you want to hold on, know that the other person is you, take risks when you’re scared, to always see the lesson and never look back once you’ve decided. – Jackson Kiddard

My heart must be bigger than my brain – blocking it out of all my decisions, so that I cannot think past the way I feel.

I was a poem, she was a melody, songs emerged between us.

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 want to be loved while I’m here, and the only way to get love is to give love.

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.

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

Love those you hate you.
