First and foremost, I ♥ love and recently I stumbled upon some beautiful quotes and thoughts on love so I thought I would share.... now I’m not the silly romantic you think. I don’t want the heavens or the shooting stars. I don’t want gemstones or gold. I have those things already. I want…a steady hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. I want to love, and be loved.
"He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and
the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least
once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making
mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote
poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part
of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and
don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you
happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard
when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s
always one guy that is perfect for you." —
Bob Marley
"The moment you fall in love feels like it
has centuries behind it, generations - all of them rearranging themselves so
this precise, remarkable intersection could happen. In your heart, in your
bones, no matter how silly you know it is, you feel that everything has been
leading to this, all the secret arrows were pointing here, the universe and
time itself crafted this long ago, and you are just now realizing it, you are
just now arriving at the place you were always meant to be."—
David Levithan, Every Day
"You’ll need coffee shops and sunsets and road trips.
Airplanes and passports and new songs and old songs, but people more than
anything else. You will need other people and you will need to be that other
person to someone else, a living breathing screaming invitation to believe
better things." — Jamie
Tworkowski
"Let someone love you just the way you are
– as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as
unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the
parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of
loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of
entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room." — Marc Hack
"Friendship is the hardest thing in the
world to explain. It’s not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t
learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything." — Muhammad Ali
"There is no shame in being hungry for
another person. There is no shame in wanting very much to share your life with
somebody." —Augusten
Burroughs
"Make sure you marry someone who laughs at
the same things you do." — J.D.Salinger
"If we wait until we’re ready, we’ll be waiting for the
rest of our lives." — Lemony Snicket
