Love Not Often, But Forever

Most marriages are not made in heaven.
They come in kits and you have to put them together yourself.

My love is selfish.
I cannot breathe without you.
( John Keats )

Make sure to tell others how special she is to you.
Don’t let a day go by without letting her know how much you love her.

It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness.
( Leo Tolstoy )

Don’t worry about finding your soul mate.
Find yourself.
( Jason Evert )

No business can operate successfully where only one partner knows about the company’s financial state, and the same is true of a marriage.

Two souls but with a single thought.
Two hearts that beat as one.
( John Keats )

I feel so lucky to have you for a friend.
You mean so much to me.

All I want is a best friend whom I can’t wait to kiss again.
( Robin Palmer )

Where there is marriage without love.
There will be love without marriage.

I love you the more in that I believe you had liked me for my own sake and for nothing else.
( John Keats )

Respect was invented to cover the empty place where love should be.
( Leo Tolstoy )

When someone you love dies, you never get over it.
You just slowly learn to live without them here.
Always keeping their love tucked tightly in the pocket of your heart.

Our time together feels like a storm, like wild wind and rain, like something too big to handle but too powerful to escape.
( Ally Condie )

I didn’t lie when I told you I was fine, because when I’m with you, I really am.

I cannot exist without you.
I am forgetful of every thing but seeing you again.
My Life seems to stop there.
I see no further.
( John Keats )

The only thing I want to hear is that you love me still.
And that you’re be coming home real soon.

Love is the only freedom in the world because it so elevates the spirit that the laws of humanity and the phenomena of nature do not alter its course.
( Kahlil Gibran )

Being good in bed means I’m propped up with pillows and my partner brings me breakfast.

I have so much of you in my heart.
( John Keats )

Why is the third finger of the left hand the one used for wedding rings?
The vein from the third finger of the left hand is supposed to have the shortest route up the arm to the heart.
So according to our culture, a wedding band on that finger has the most direct link to the heart.

Wine enters through the mouth, love, the eyes.
I raise the glass to my mouth, I look at you, I sigh.
( W.B. Yeats )

My heart is yours.
Yours to hold.
Yours to keep.
My heart belongs to you.
Please don’t break it.

We have woven a web, you and I, attached to this world but a separate world of our own invention.
( John Keats )

Compassion is the only law of life.
Just as we must breathe to live.
Those who are cruel and selfish are dying.

I was born when you kissed me.
I died when you left me.
I lived a few weeks while you loved me.
( Dorothy B. Hughes )

Real loss is when you lose someone you love more than you love yourself.

I almost wish we were butterflies and lived but three summer days.
Three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.
( John Keats )

Don’t be someone’s spare time, part time or sometime.
If they can’t be there for you all of the time, then they’re not worth any of your time.

When you really feel understood, you feel free to release yourself into the trust and shelter of the other person’s soul.
( John O’Donohue )

It’s hard when you miss someone.
But if you miss them, it means you had someone special in your life, someone worth missing.

I wish to believe in immortality.
I wish to live with you forever.
( John Keats )

Love me.
That’s all I ask of you.

Love makes one calmer about many things, and that way, one is more fit for one’s work.
( Vincent van Gogh )

Time doesn’t make us forget.
It makes us grow and understand more.

Faith is stronger than a stone.
Joy is taller than a mountain.
Love is wider than an ocean.
( Matshona Dhliwayo )

Men should look at women in a sacred way.
Men should never put women down or shame them in any way.
When men have problems, they should seek their counsel.
Men should share with them openly.
A woman has intuitive thought.
She has access to another system of knowledge that few men develop.
Men must treat women in a good way.

Love not often, but forever.
( Joanne Harris )

Nobody wants to hear this.
But sometimes the person you want most is the person you are best without.

Regardless of whether we love once, twice, or a dozen times in our life, we always face a brand-new situation.
Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere.
We simply have to accept it, because it is what nourishes our existence.
( Paulo Coelho )

Sometimes a person’s mere presence in our life is a blessing and is enough.

A man is only as good as what he loves. 
( Saul Bellow )

Maybe one day you will see what you did to me was wrong.

There are two kinds of women.
Those you write poems about and those you don’t.
( Jeffrey McDaniel )

It’s been an ugly day, she said.
Tell me something beautiful, she said.
And he said her name.

You can’t interfere with people you love any more than you’re supposed to interfere with people you don’t even know.
And that’s hard, because you often feel like interfering.
You want to be the one who makes the plans.
( John Irving )

One day someone will look at you with a light in their eyes you have never seen before.
They will look at you like you are the one they have always been looking for.

Surround yourself with people who make you hungry for life.
People who touch your heart, and nourish your soul.

Loving you was like going to war.
I never came back the same. 
( Warsan Shire )

Would you like you, if you met you?

Celebrate the joys of today
The memories of yesterday
And the dreams of tomorrow.

It was the first time I was ever in love, and I learned a lot.
Before that I’d never even thought about killing myself.
( Steven Wright )

Together is a wonderful place to be.

A day of perfect happiness with love and laughter too.
And a very special life ahead is what I wish for you.

Love cures people, both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.
( Karl A. Menninger )

We do more to disarm those whom we fear than to oblige those whom we love.

Love cannot live where there is no trust.
( Edith Hamilton )

They start to miss you when they fail to replace you.

If you have two friends in your lifetime, you’re lucky.
If you have one good friend, you’re more than lucky.
( S.E. Hinton )

Only when you are comfortable with each other can you sit without speaking.

Choosing to love, in spite of all its complexities, is the only freedom there is.
( Chriscinthia Blount )

Let me write love poems on your neck with my lips.

There is greatness in doing something you hate for the sake of someone you love.
( Shmuley Boteach )

If I had to choose between loving you and breathing.
I would use my last breath to tell you ‘I Love You’.

True love is not so much a matter of romance as it is a matter of anxious concern for the well-being of one’s companion.
( Gordon B. Hinckley )
