Hermann Hesse quote #485 from Siddhartha

It may be important to great thinkers to examine the world to explain and despise it. But I think it is only important to love the world not to despise it not for us to hate each other but to be able to regard the world and ourselves and all beings with love admiration and respect.

David Levithan quote #257 from The Lover's Dictionary

There has to be a moment at the beginning where you wonder whether youre in love with the person or in love with the feeling of love itself. If the moment doesnt pass thats ityoure done. And if the moment does pass it never goes that far. It stands in the distance ready for whenever you want it back. Sometimes its even there when you thought you were searching for something else like an escape route or your lovers face.

Virginia Woolf famous quote #416

Dearest I feel certain that I am going mad again. I feel we cant go through another of those terrible times. And I shant recover this time. I begin to hear voices and I cant concentrate. So I am doing what seems the best thing to do. You have given me the greatest possible happiness. You have been in every way all that anyone could be. I dont think two people could have been happier til this terrible disease came. I cant fight any longer. I know that I am spoiling your life that without me you could work. And you will I know. You see I cant even write this properly. I cant read. What I want to say is I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been entirely patient with me and incredibly good. I want to say that everybody knows it. If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness. I cant go on spoiling your life any longer. I dont think two people could have been happier than we have been. V.

Bell Hooks famous quote #123

Genuine love is rarely an emotional space where needs are instantly gratified. To know love we have to invest time and commitment...dreaming that love will save us solve all our problems or provide a steady state of bliss or security only keeps us stuck in wishful fantasy undermining the real power of the love -- which is to transform us. Many people want love to function like a drug giving them an immediate and sustained high. They want to do nothing just passively receive the good feeling.

W.H. Auden quote #87 from Collected Shorter Poems

The More Loving OneLooking up at the stars I know quite wellThat for all they care I can go to hellBut on earth indifference is the leastWe have to dread from man or beast.How should we like it were stars to burnWith a passion for us we could not returnIf equal affection cannot beLet the more loving one be me.Admirer as I think I amOf stars that do not give a damnI cannot now I see them sayI missed one terribly all day.Were all stars to disappear or dieI should learn to look at an empty skyAnd feel its total dark sublimeThough this might take me a little time.
