Leonard Cohen quote #446 from Stranger Music: Selected Poems and Songs

And Ill dance with you in ViennaIll be wearing a rivers disguise.The hyacinth wild on my shouldermy mouth on the dew of your thighs.And Ill bury my soul in a scrapbookwith the photographs there and the moss.And Ill yield to the flood of your beautymy cheap violin and my cross.

Maeve Binchy quote #225 from Echoes

Ill understand if you dont want me. But I will be heartbroken. You are all I ever dreamed of and hoped for. You are much much more. Please know that I didnt think I was mean-minded. But I realize I am. I dont want you to put your arms around me and say its all right that you forgive me. I want you to be sure that you do and my love for you will last as long as I live. I can see no lightness no humour no joke to make. I just hope that we will be able to go back to when we had laughter and the world was coloured not black and white and grey. I am so sorry for hurting you. I could inflict all kinds of pain on myself but it would not take back any I gave to you. - David Power

Henri J.M. Nouwen famous quote #220

Every time we make the decision to love someone we open ourselves to great suffering because those we most love cause us not only great joy but also great pain. The greatest pain comes from leaving. When the child leaves home when the husband or wife leaves for a long period of time or for good when the beloved friend departs to another country or dies the pain of the leaving can tear us apart.Still if we want to avoid the suffering of leaving we will never experience the joy of loving. And love is stronger than fear life stronger than death hope stronger than despair. We have to trust that the risk of loving is always worth taking.

Tahereh Mafi quote #154 from Ignite Me

His hands are holding my cheeks and he pulls back just to look me in the eye and his chest is heaving and he says I think he says my heart is going to explode and I wish more than ever that I knew how to capture moments like these and revisit them forever. Because this.This is everything.
