*"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us."
*Restless tonight
Cause I wasted the light
Between both these times
I drew a really thin line
It’s nothing I planned
And not that I can
But you should be mine
Across that line
If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn’t that be something
I promise I might
Not walk on by
Maybe next time
But not this time
Even though I know
I don’t want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds
*Teach only love for that is what you are.~ A Course In Miracles ~
*There is a law that man should love his neighbor as himself. In a few hundred years it should be as natural to mankind as breathing or the upright gait; but if he does not learn it he must perish.~ Alfred Adler ~
*The Impossible Generalized Man today is the critic who believes in loving those unworthy of love as well as those worthy --yet believes this only insofar as no personal risk is entailed. Meaning he loves no one, worthy or no. This is what makes him impossible.~ Nelson Algren ~
*In real love you want the other person's good. In romantic love, you want the other person.~ Margaret Anderson ~
*Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible -- it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.~ Barbara De Angelis ~
*Love is made by two people, in different kinds of solitude. It can be in a crowd, but in an oblivious crowd.~ Louis Aragon ~
*Oh, love is real enough; you will find it someday, but it has one archenemy -- and that is life.~ Jean Anouilh Ardele ~
*Love, by its very nature, is unworldly, and it is for this reason rather than its rarity that it is not only apolitical but anti-political, perhaps the most powerful of all anti-political human forces.~ Hannah Arendt ~
*Wicked men obey from fear; good men, from love.~ Aristotle ~
*Love is the victim's response to the rapist.~ Ti-Grace Atkinson ~
*What I needed most was to love and to be loved, eager to be caught. Happily I wrapped those painful bonds around me; and sure enough, I would be lashed with the red-hot pokers or jealousy, by suspicions and fear, by burst of anger and quarrels.~ St. Augustine ~
*Not all of us have to possess earthshaking talent. Just common sense and love will do.~ Myrtle Auvil ~
*For a crowd is not company; and faces are but a gallery of pictures; and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love.~ Francis Bacon ~
*The sweetest joy, the wildest woe is love.~ Pearl Bailey ~
*Do you want to know a good way to fall in love? Just associate with all your pleasant experiences with someone, and disassociate from all the unpleasant ones. ~ Richard Bandler ~
*Love is just a system for getting someone to call you darling after sex.~ Julian Barnes ~
*If it is your time, love will track you down like a cruise missile.~ Lynda Barry ~
*It is unfortunately very true that, without leisure and money, love can be no more than an orgy of the common man. Instead of being a sudden impulse full of ardor and reverie, it becomes a distastefully utilitarian affair.~ Charles Baudelaire ~
*When we understand that man is the only animal who must create meaning, who must open a wedge into neutral nature, we already understand the essence of love. Love is the problem of an animal who must find life, create a dialogue with nature in order to experience his own being.~ Ernest Becker ~
*Love is the river of life in the world.~ Henry Ward Beecher ~
