WORDS ON LOVE - 01-28-2010

“Love is passion, obsession, someone you can’t live without. If you don’t start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say, find someone you can love like crazy and who’ll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I’m not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you’ll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense in living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love- well, you haven’t lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven’t tried, you haven’t lived.” — Meet Joe Black

“Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.” — Bruce Lee

“Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have 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, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don’t blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being “in love”, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident." — Louis de Bernières

“You don’t get to choose; you just fall in love. And you get this person who is all wrong and all right at the same time. And you know that you love them so much, except sometimes they just drive you completely insane and no one can explain it. And the reason it’s so confusing is because it’s love. If love didn’t have any challenges, what would be the point?” — Party of Five

“True love is not so much a matter of romance as it is a matter of anxious concern for the well-being of one’s companion.” — Gordon B. Hinckley

“So she had to satisfy herself with the idea of love—loving the loving of things whose existence she didn’t care at all about. Love itself became the object of her love. She loved herself in love, she loved loving love, as love loves loving, and was able, in that way, to reconcile herself with a world that fell so short of what she would have hoped for. It was not the world that was the great and saving lie, but her willingness to make it beautiful and fair, to live a once-removed life, in a world once-removed from the one in which everyone else seemed to exit.” — Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything Is Illuminated

Love is enough. Kung hindi ka niya naiintindihan, hindi love yun. Love understands. Kung gusto ko niya magbago para sa’yo, hindi love yun. Love remains the same. Kung hindi niya kayang magbigay, hindi love yun. Love gives.

“I finally understood what true love meant…love meant that you care for another person’s happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.” — Nicholas Sparks

“I think to myself that when you’re in love, sometimes you have to swallow your pride and sometimes you have to fight to keep your pride. It’s a balance, but when the relationship is right…you find that balance.” ~ Emily Giffin, Something Borrowed
