Misc. Love 46....

It seems like the simplest concept: just push them all away and you’ll never get hurt. However, the simplest isn’t always the most effective. Someday, somebody’s going to find their way in, and they’re going to leave you on your knees.

Each relationship between two persons is absolutely unique. That is why you cannot love two people the same. It simply is not possible. You love each person differently because of who they are and the uniqueness they draw out of you. And the more you know another, the richer the colors of that relationship. -William P. Young, The Shack

That’s why love is madness. It’s too easy to lose your mind when you lose your heart.

Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other. -Dalai Lama XIV

I like to see people reunited, I like to see people run to each other, I like the kissing and the crying, I like the impatience, the stories that the mouth can’t tell fast enough, the ears that aren’t big enough, the eyes that can’t take in all of the change, I like the hugging, the bringing together, the end of missing someone. -Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

And I can't stand the way people say,"When I was a child, I loved elephants," "When I was a child, I loved ballons." Are they trying to say that if they stopped and looked at a balloon today or an elephant, they would not love them? Why wouldn't they love them? I think we still love what we always loved. -Wallace Shawn, The Fever

There is always one person you love who becomes that definition. It usually happens retrospectively, but it happens eventually. This is the person who unknowingly sets the template for what you will always love about other people, even if some of these lovable qualities are self-destructive and unreasonable. The person who defines your understanding of love is not inherently different than anyone else; they’re often just the person you happen to meet the first time you really, really, want to love someone. But that person still wins. They win, and you lose. Because for the rest of your life, they will control how you feel about everyone else. -Chuck Klosterman, Killing Yourself To Live

We waste time looking for the perfect lover, intstead of creating the perfect love. -Tom Robbins

There are the people who are right for you on paper, and then there are the people who are just right. -Private Practice

I need to see you face to face... because I'm never as good as when you’re there... and I can see myself the way you look at me. And I'm sorry. If we could just get together and find some time to talk. Let's say all the things we never said. -Almost Famous

I'm outside of your window with my radio; you are the only station, you play the song I know. You are the song I know. -Hawthorne Heights

It’s when you hold eye contact for that second too long or maybe the way you laugh. It sets off a flash and our memories take a picture of who we are at that point when we first know “This is love.” And we clutch that picture to our hearts because we expect each other to always be the people in that picture. But people change. People aren’t pictures. And you can either take a new picture or throw the old one away. - Iain Thomas

Maybe I'm not the one that you hoped for, And you're right, maybe I'll never change. Maybe there's not much here to love, but maybe you can love me anyway. Yeah but baby I love you, the best that I can. Well it might not be pretty, but it's all that I am. -Sean McConnell

There is love of course. And then there's life, its enemy. -Jean Anouilh

He wanted to take his love back from her so badly. The old techniques didn’t work anymore. In fact, they’d never worked. How do you stop loving someone? It was one of the world’s more brutal mysteries. The more you tried, the less it worked. -Ann Brashares

To those who have given up on love, I say, 'trust life a little bit.' -Maya Angelou

Out of nowhere she told me when she grew up she wanted to marry me. I said, 'Why me?' And she looked up at me and said, 'because, you are my anyway friend.'  At the time I didn’t know what that meant, so she had to explain to me that an anyway friend is the one person in your life who that no matter what they say or do, no matter what they’ve been through with you, they love you anyway. -Private Practice

To lose balance sometimes for love is part of living a balanced life. -Elizabeth Gillbert, Eat Pray Love
