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

I don’t understand how in my parents’ age, it was ’til death do us part, and in mine it’s ’til cheating do us part, ’til lying do us part, ’til chemistry do us part, ’til disagreements do us part, ’til boredom do us part, ’til cowardice do us part. I just want what my parents have, that part.

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

Only snails know there is no rush when you learn to carry home with you.

It’s amazing what passes for love these days – crows parading as blue jays.

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

Love is like a faucet, it turns off and on.

Spread love everywhere you go let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.

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

I’m standing in the ashes of who I used to be.

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

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.

If you love someone set them free. If they come back, they’re yours; if they don’t, they never were.

Don’t forget me, don’t forget me. I wouldn’t leave you if you’d let me.

Relish love in your old age! Aged love is like aged wine; it becomes more satisfying, more refreshing, more valuable, more appreciated and more intoxicating!

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.

We need to make love great again because black lives do matter, because all lives do matter.

Tonight, once more, life sinks its teeth into my heart.

Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your good health has vanished.

I’m fading away, you know I used to be on fire.

I don’t wanna wake it up, the devil in me.
