Love

These things sensibly affected Theseus, who, thinking it but just not to disregard, but rather partake of, the sufferings of his fellow citizens, offered himself for one without any lot. All else were struck with admiration for the nobleness and with love for the goodness of the act.

A meaningful relationship between two people cannot sustain itself only in the present tense.

Compassionate love may be strong. It sobs, it burns, then it wipes away its tears – and it does nothing.

Whether I'm a good wife doesn't have anything to do with what he was like.

I love text, I love email, I love Skype; I think it's amazing.

Need is what tears people apart. When you want someone, you never really need them. But as soon as you start need someone, they no longer want you.

The forgiveness that comes of patient interpretation seems impossible when those nearest to your heart are threatened.

I'm sorry for ignoring you but that's all I can do. Iloveyou.

I have seen your heart, and it is mine.

Poetry was the maiden I loved but politics was the harridan I married.

Loving yourself is required for authentic relationships.

Happiness comes easier when I'm thinking of you.

There is no intensity of love or feeling that does not involve the risk of crippling hurt. It is a duty to take this risk, to love and feel without defense or reserve.

Don't you believe I love you? Don't know how I can make you believe. I didn't want to kiss you goodbye--that was the trouble--I wanted to kiss you goodnight. […] Of course I love you. I love you all the time. […] I'd like to hold you and kiss you so that you wouldn't doubt whether I wanted to or not.

From the moment we walk out the door until we come back home our sensibilities are so assaulted by the world that we have to soak up as much love as we can get simply to arm ourselves.

Romance is mush, stifling those who strive.

Sex that's planned like a business transaction is a turnoff for me..... Listen to yourself. Why even call it a fuck? Why not be clear and call it a seminal emission in a pre-approved orifice?' (Eva to Gideon).

I can’t sleep without you by my side.

You’re incredibly brave. And you’re going to make it through this because you have a very strong heart. A heart that is capable of loving so much about life and people in a way you never dreamt a heart could love. And you’re beautiful in here. Your heart is so beautiful and someday someone is going to love that heart like it deserves to be loved.

If my Valentine you won't be,I'll hang myself on your Christmas tree.
