Long Quotes

On Love...

"It's that feeling that you're so alone and so empty when you're not with them. All you do is sit there and think about them and think about how much you want to be with them and how much it hurts that you're not. When you don't know when you'll talk to them or see then again. You feel so alone. And then when you hear their voice on the phone your heart skips a beat. It's the feeling when you're with them you feel so safe in their arms, so safe being next to them, and then when you're not, you go crazy because of how much you want to be with them."

~Becca Granger

"We all want to fall in love. Why? Because that experience makes us feel completely alive. Where every sense in heightened, every emotion is magnified, our everyday reality is shattered and we are flying into the heavens. It may only last a moment, an hour, an afternoon. But that doesnt diminish its value. Because we are left with memories that we treasure for the rest of our lives."

Excerpts

From Songs...

"Never knew I could feel like this, like I've never seen the sky before. I want to vanish inside your kiss. Everyday I love you more and more. Listen to my heart, can't you hear it sing telling me to give you everything? Seasons may change winter to spring, but I love you until the end of time. Come what may. Come what may. I will love you until my dying day."
~"Come What May" from Moulin Rouge

"Baby, goodbye doesn't mean forever.

Let me tell you, goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again.

If you wake up and I'm not there I won't be long away.

Oh, because the things you do, my goodbye girl, will bring me back to you."

~Hootie and the Blowfish, "The Goodbye Girl"

"Wherever you go, whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you.

Whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks, I will be right here waiting for you."

~Richard Marx, "Right Here Waiting"

From The Bible...

"Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends..."
~1Corinthians 13:4-8

From Movies...

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love and be loved in return."

~Moulin Rouge

You can never really know love, until you surrender to it.

~Fools Rush In
