in QUOTES

41 " And, in the end
The love you take
is equal to the love you make. "

42 " What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. "

― Suzanne Collins , Mockingjay (The Hunger Games, #3)

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

― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry , Airman's Odyssey

44 " I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, 'How many good things have you done in your life?' rather he will ask, 'How much love did you put into what you did? "

45 " I have something I need to tell you," he says. I run my fingers along the tendons in his hands and look back at him. " I might be in love with you." He smiles a little. " I'm waiting until I'm sure to tell you, though." " That's sensible of you," I say, smiling too. " We should find some paper so you can make a list or a chart or something." I feel his laughter against my side, his nose sliding along my jaw, his lips pressing my ear." Maybe I'm already sure," he says, " and I just don't want to frighten you." I laugh a little. " Then you should know better." " Fine," he says. " Then I love you. "

46 " We’re all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you’ve been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there’s no right person, just different flavors of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. And it isn’t until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problems—the ones that make you truly who you are—that we’re ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what you’re looking for. You’re looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: it's got to be the right wrong person—someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, “This is the problem I want to have.”

I will find that special person who is wrong for me in just the right way. "

― Andrew Boyd , Daily Afflictions: The Agony of Being Connected to Everything in the Universe

47 " How many slams in an old screen door? Depends how loud you shut it. How many slices in a bread? Depends how thin you cut it. How much good inside a day? Depends how good you live 'em. How much love inside a friend? Depends how much you give 'em. "

― Shel Silverstein

48 " If pain must come, may it come quickly. Because I have a life to live, and I need to live it in the best way possible. If he has to make a choice, may he make it now. Then I will either wait for him or forget him. "

― Paulo Coelho , By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept

49 " I love you more than there are stars in the sky and fish in the sea. "

― Nicholas Sparks

50 " A woman's heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek Him just to find her. "

― Max Lucado

51 " I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun. "

― Jane Austen , Pride and Prejudice

52 " Well, it seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is... suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with. "

― Gillian Anderson

53 " Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow. "

― Kahlil Gibran , The Prophet

54 " It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done. "

― Vincent van Gogh

55 " I love you also means I love you more than anyone loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, I love you in a way that no one loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, I love you in a way that I love no one else, and never have loved anyone else, and never will love anyone else. "

― Jonathan Safran Foer , Everything Is Illuminated

56 " There was a clatter as the basilisk fangs cascaded out of Hermione's arms. Running at Ron, she flung them around his neck and kissed him full on the mouth. Ron threw away the fangs and broomstick he was holding and responded with such enthusiasm that he lifted Hermione off her feet. " Is this the moment?" Harry asked weakly, and when nothing happened except that Ron and Hermione gripped each other still more firmly and swayed on the spot, he raised his voice. " OI! There's a war going on here!" Ron and Hermione broke apart, their arms still around each other. " I know, mate," said Ron, who looked as though he had recently been hit on the back of the head with a Bludger, " so it's now or never, isn't it?" " Never mind that, what about the Horcrux?" Harry shouted. " D'you think you could just --- just hold it in, until we've got the diadem?" " Yeah --- right --- sorry ---" said Ron, and he and Hermione set about gathering up fangs, both pink in the face. "

57 " If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain. "

― Emily Dickinson

58 " Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness. "

― Bertrand Russell , The Conquest of Happiness

59 " I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And it's these things I'd believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn't all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything. "

― F. Scott Fitzgerald

60 " It's not the face, but the expressions on it. It's not the voice, but what you say. It's not how you look in that body, but the thing you do with it. You are beautiful. "

― Stephenie Meyer , The Host (The Host, #1)
