Truth
You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her.
You know what's the most terrifying thing about admitting that you're in love? You're just naked. You put yourself in harm's way and you lay down all your defences. No clothes, no weapons. Nowhere to hide, completely vulnerable. The only thing that makes it tolerable is to believe the other person loves you back and you can trust him not to hurt you.
Mary Doria Russell - The Sparrow
When you long with all your heart for someone to love you, a madness grows there that shakes all sense from the trees and the water and the earth. And nothing lives for you, except the long deep bitter want. And this is what everyone feels from birth to death.
Denton Welch
It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone and a day to love someone... but it takes a lifetime to really forget someone you have grown to love...
The hours I spend with you I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden, a dim twilight, and a fountain singing to it… you and you alone make me feel that I am alive... Other men it is said have seen angels, but I have seen thee and thou art enough.
George Moore
