Love
Mise at work caught a bare snippet of Married With Children this morning but it was enuf to stick the song in her head. She, of course, starts singing it and sticks it in our heads. I tried other songs, but keep coming back to "Love and Marriage".
And so by the power vested in me by the search-fu of Google, here are some quotes:
I love you, for putting your hand into my heart and passing over all the foolish, weak things that you cannot help dimly seeing there, and for drawing out into the light all the beautiful belongings that no one else had looked quite so far enough to find --Roy Croft
~~~
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where, I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep it is your eyes that close. --Pablo Neruda
~~~
May my heart be your shelter, and my arms be your home --Marianne Williamson
~~~
You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly. --Sam Keen
~~~
An act of love that fails is just as much a part of the divine life as a act of love that succeeds, for love is measured by fullness, not by reception --Harold Loukes
~~~
Love is the only thing you get more of by giving it away. --Tom Wilson
~~~
Marriage is the perfection of what love aimed at, ignorant of what it sought. --Emerson
~~~
Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end. --Author Unknown
~~~
I dreamed of a wedding of elaborate elegance,
A church filled with family and friends.
I asked him what kind of a wedding he wished for,
He said one that would make me his wife.
