Perhaps all the questions we ask of love to measure test probe and save it have the additional effect of cutting it short. Perhaps the reason we are unable to love is that we yearn to be loved that is we demand something love from our partner instead of delivering ourselves up to him demand-free and asking for nothing but his company.
Her desires are mine. Her wishes are mine. Should even the world stand against her my blade will be at her side. And should it fail to protect her let my own existence be forfeit. - Ash
You of all people deserve a happy ending. Despite everything that happened to you you arent bitter. You arent cold. Youve just retreated a little and been shy and thats okay. If I were a fairy godmother I would give you your hearts desire in an istant. And I would wipe away your tears and tell you not to cry.-Rachel to Julia
A love story can never be about full possession. The happy marriage the requited love the desire that never dims--these are lucky eventualites but they arent love stories. Love stories depend on disappointment on unequal births and feuding families on matrimonial boredom and at least one cold heart. Love stories nearly without exception give love a bad name.We value love not because its stronger than death but because its weaker. Say what you want about love death will finish it. You will not go on loving in the grave not in any physical way that will at all resemble love as we know it on earth. The perishable nature of love is what gives love its importance in our lives. If it were endless if it were on tap love wouldnt hit us the way it does.And we certainly wouldnt write about it.
And I pray one prayer--I repeat it till my tongue stiffens--Catherine Earnshaw may you not rest as long as I am living You said I killed you--haunt me then...Be with me always--take any form--drive me mad only do not leave me in this abyss where I cannot find you
Falling in love is like getting hit by a truck and yet not being mortally wounded. just sick to your stomach high one minute low the next. Starving hungry but unable to eat. hot cold forever horny full of hope and enthusiasm with momentary depressions that wipe you out.It is also not being able to remove the smile from your face loving life with a mad passionate intensity and feeling ten years younger.Love does not appear with any warning signs. You fall into it as if pushed from a high diving board. No time to think about whats happening. Its inevitable. An event you cant control. A crazy heart-stopping roller-coaster ride that just has to take its course.
