“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out
of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at
my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
― Marilyn Monroe

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”

Love like you'll never be hurt,

“It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.”
“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can
completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve
never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and
actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that
will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many
disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful
happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share
in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you
are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do
they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough,
but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that
make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure,
jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around.
You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you
because they love you for who you are. The things that seem
insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become
invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever.
Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s
like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant.
Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or
didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you
through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In
their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you
find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never
interested you before become fascinating because you know they are
important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this
person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring
them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on
the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be
broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy
that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the
only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it
scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and
possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems
completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and
security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
― Bob Marley

“We accept the love we think we deserve.”
“As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”
“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite
of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not
heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's
indifference.”
― Elie Wiesel

“It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.”

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love
you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I
do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or
you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate
that when I fall asleep your eyes close.”
― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

“There is never a time or place for true love. It happens
accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.”
― Sarah Dessen, The Truth About Forever

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so
vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means
that someone can get inside you and mess you up.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones

“Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.”

“This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to
mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get
to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends -
they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The
ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best
friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best
friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And
baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them
are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give
up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who
makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail
once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold
on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you
don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin
up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing
and there's so much to smile about.”
― Marilyn Monroe

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before
she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's
not perfect—you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect
together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and
admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the
most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the
day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can
break—her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and
don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let
her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.”
― Bob Marley

“You love me. Real or not real?"

“I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with
common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments
dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved
another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been
enough..”

“We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we
find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with
them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love—true
love.”

“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what
everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows
you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to
your own attention so you can change your life.
A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.
A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master...”

“I'm in love with you," he said quietly.
"Augustus," I said.
"I am," he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.”

“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know
how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and
betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of
witherings, of tarnishings.”
