Henry David Thoreau

Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends… Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.

Not only must we be good, but we must also be good for something.

I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.

The broadest and most prevalent error requires the most disinterested virtue to sustain it.

It seems to me that the god that is commonly worshipped in civilized countries is not at all divine, though he bears a divine name, but is the overwhelming authority and respectability of mankind combined. Men reverence one another, not yet God.

Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.

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

We are asleep until we fall in Love!

When I told you I wasn’t in love, I lied.

Oh, we’ll be looking for sunlight, or the headlights, ’til our wide eyes burn blind.

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

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Real love is freedom, and this is what you’ve been given by the Creator – the freedom to love and to choose your own path.

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.

What’s the difference?’ I asked him, ‘Between the love of your life and your soulmate?’ ‘One is a choice, and one is not.’

I bet you kiss your knuckles right before they touch my cheek.

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

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

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life?

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

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