Dolly Parton

If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours.

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

She doesn’t let me have control anymore. I must’ve crossed a line, I must’ve lost my mind.

Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it’s cracked up to be. That’s why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don’t risk anything, you risk even more.

Once you have drunk from the water of unconditional love, no other well can satisfy your thirst. The pangs of separation may become so intense that seeking the affection of the Beloved becomes an obsession.

My demons are begging me to open up my mouth.

I like not only to be loved, but also to be told I am loved.

The moonlight melts into lace across your thighs. Unbridled passion, an Elliott Smith vinyl, and the intimate place of you.

Provided that he only broke you into pieces, you still have it all, like a pizza in slices, every. bite, delicious. You may not feel whole, but you are no less because of a feeling.

I have imprinted on you and all those miles between us only keep us apart because we let them.

Sorry that I can’t believe that anybody ever really starts to fall in love with me.

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.

When you plant a seed of love, it is you that blossoms.

You don’t measure love in time. You measure love in transformation. Sometimes the longest connections yield little growth, while the briefest of encounters change everything. The heart doesn’t wear a watch.

It’s important to remember where you came from; it’s the easiest way to locate where you are.

Love is louder than the pressure to be perfect.
