Love and Dreams - Quotes





On who the flies landed without being chased away by that person, was on her way to death - this was one of the unmistakeable signs. From that time on, I think, dates my obsession with flies. In times of peace, when we all lied still, I made sure to sneak close up to my mother, watching very carefully that no fly would land on her, - I waved my hat over her body, flies don't like wind and movement...

Anybody can sympathize with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathize with a friend’s success.

Oscar Wilde






They've promised that dreams can come true - but forget to mention that nightmares are dreams, too.

All that is gold does not glitter; not all those that wander are lost.

J. R. R. Tolkien
The Fellowship of the Ring






There are two types of compassion. One - is faint-hearted and sentimental. Actually, it is nothing more than impatience of the heart, that is hurrying to get rid of that hard feeling when you see other peoples' sufferings; this is not a compassion, but just an instinct will to defence yourself from misfortunes of others. But there is another compassion - real one, that demands for actions, not sentiments, it knows what it wants, and it is full of determination to do everything, what is in human power and even beyond it.

Stephan Zveig
The Impatience of the Heart






...after a while, you realise that it's such a waste of time and effort to be continually on the look-out for Miss Perfect. We can reap better returns by concentrating on making our current relationships work.

Karl Ho
Snag to Marriage Plans






When you love someone, you give them part of your heart, and at that moment, your heart is broken. It is ironic that you can't feel the pain until they give you back that piece of your heart and you try to put it back together again.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Kahlil Gibran






I don't love women. Love has to be reinvented, we know that. The only thing women can ultimately imagine is security. Once they get that, love, beauty, everything else goes out the window. All they have left is cold disdain; that's what marriages live on nowadays. Sometimes I see women who ought to be happy, with whom I could have found companionship, already swallowed up by brutes with as much feeling as an old log....

Arthur Rimbaud

"Just living isn't enough," said the butterfly, "one must also have freedom, sunshine, and a little flower."






Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.

Carl Bard






That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet.

Emily Dickinson

Look at my eyes, Faye. One of them is a fake because I lost it in an accident. Since then, I've been seeing the past in one eye and the present in the other. So, I thought I could only see patches of reality, never the whole picture. I felt like I was watching a dream I could never wake up from. Before I knew it... the dream was over.

Spike Spiegel
Cowboy Bebop






The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.

Kahlil Gibran






A dreamer born is a hero bred...

It's sad that you can't put your arms around memories.

The man flew in red summer and she handed him whispers for a castle. The night owls have peace and sadness on their watch, but he worships her lies and thinks it is for the best.

What if you slept? And what if, in your sleep, you dreamed? And what if, in your dream, you went to heaven and there plucked a strange and beautiful flower? And what if, when you awoke, you had the flower in your hand? Ah, what then?

Samuel Taylor Coleridge






"You see," he says to the girl, "you closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too-even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling."

Mitch Albom

When you're in love, it's the most glorious two-and-a-half minutes of your life.

Richard Lewis






Jason, the night roars into my ears now... can you hear it?






People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering.

Saint Augustine






O You whom I often and silently come where you are, that I may be with you;
As I walk by your side, or sit near, or remain in the same room with you,
Little you know the subtle electric fire that for your sake is playing within me.

Walt Whitman
O you whom I often and silently come






I want to crawl into a world of pillows with you, and just be.

The honorary duty of a human being is to love.

Maya Angelou

(contributed by Christine)






You said that this is crazy, you're half a world away. And I'm sittin' there and I'm thinkin' but I didn't know what to say. So I said something I can't touch, I always want way too much anyway.

Regrets are as personal as fingerprints.

Margaret Culkin Banning






Music is like painting in sound. You take it into your inner heart and never lose it. It's eternally mysterious.

Van Cliburn






Natasha, to love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love. But, then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer, to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love, to be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy, therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness, I hope you're getting this down.

Woody Allen
Love and Death






Losing my heart to you is like losing my individuality, but I don't care because I've got you to care about.

Dreams and visions are infused into men for their advantage and instruction...

Artemidoros






Dreams are renewable. No matter what our age or condition, there are still untapped possibilities within us and new beauty waiting to be born.

Dr. Dale Turner






Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Mark Twain






Deeds cannot dream what dreams can do.

E. E. Cummings






I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge
That myth is more potent than history
I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts -
That hope always triumphs over experience -
That laughter is the only cure for grief
And I believe that love is stronger than death.

Robert Fulghum






The day we lose our need for dreams is the day the human race forfeits its soul.

John Chiam






"... they think that I'm strange... they say that I'm a dreamer... but I don't complain, though I don't have much to call my own. I know a place where I keep the best of things. I'm not gonna wait for my piece of heaven where there's a road, it leads to the promised land. I just turn the key, the key to the kingdom."

The Kingdom

Sandman

Linda Thompson






Destiny is not a matter of chance, but of choice, not something to wish for, but to attain.

William Jennings Bryan






Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

Theodore Roosevelt
