Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

It is our duty as men and women to proceed as though the limits of our abilities do not exist.

We don’t fall in love with people because they’re good people. We fall in love with people whose darkness we recognize. You can fall in love with a person for all of the right reasons, but that kind of love can still fall apart. But when you fall in love with a person because your monsters have found a home in them – that’s the kind of love that owns your skin and bones. Love, I am convinced, is found in the darkness. It is the candle in the night.

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)

Love is louder than the pressure to be perfect.

To live is like to love – all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it.

I live in the realm of romantic possibility.

Never close your lips to those whom you have already opened your heart.

You’ll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you.

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

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.

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

It doesn’t matter if you have a valentine or not – just love yourself and be your own.

Doctoring her seemed to her as absurd as putting together the pieces of a broken vase. Her heart was broken. Why would they try to cure her with pills and powders?

To get rid of an enemy one must love him.

Thunder only happens when it’s raining; players only love you when they’re playing.

Some men love truth so much that they seem to be in continual fear lest she should catch a cold on overexposure.
