Quotes

I got bored today and looked up quotes of all kinds (mainly love quotes). I decided to share them with you. Enjoy!


who calls you back when you hang up on him,
who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat,
or will stay awake just to watch you sleep...
wait for the boy who kisses your forehead,
who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats,
who holds your hand in front of his friends,
who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on.
One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you....The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'"
~Unknown

"Love is a temporary madness.
It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides.
And when it subsides you have to make a decision.
You have to work out whether your roots
have become so entwined together
that it is inconceivable that you should ever part.
Because this is what love is.
Love is not breathlessness,
 it is not excitement,
it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion.
That is just being "in love" which any of us
can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away,
and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
Your mother and I had it,
we had roots that grew towards each other underground,
and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches
we found that we were one tree and not two."
~St. Augustine

“In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything,

"The hours I spend with you I look upon as
sort of a perfumed garden,
a dim twilight, and a fountain singing to it.

Other men it is said have seen angels,
but I have seen thee and thou art enough."
~George Edward Moore


"Don't find love, let love find you. That's why it's
called falling in love, because you don't
force yourself to fall, you just fall."

"Just because you know someone doesn't mean you love them,
and just because you don't know people doesn't mean you can't

to strangers more often. You never know when God will throw
that pass at you."
~ Heather Grove

find a reason, but you always come up with
the answer, No reason!"
~Unknown

People change so that you can learn to let go,

so better things can fall together."
~Marilyn Monroe

they still miss the ones they left behind."

the ones that last--

you can ever imagine yourself with."
