Andrew Boyd famous quote #446

Were all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if youve been through enough relationships you begin to suspect theres no right person just different flavors of wrong. Why is this Because you yourself are wrong in some way and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. And it isnt until you finally run up against your deepest demons your unsolvable problemsthe ones that make you truly who you arethat were ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what youre looking for. Youre looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person the right wrong personsomeone you lovingly gaze upon and think This is the problem I want to have.I will find that special person who is wrong for me in just the right way.Let our scars fall in love.

John Lennon famous quote #391

There are two basic motivating forces fear and love. When we are afraid we pull back from life. When we are in love we open to all that life has to offer with passion excitement and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.

C.S. Lewis quote #473 from The Four Loves

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket safe dark motionless airless it will change. It will not be broken it will become unbreakable impenetrable irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.

Neil Gaiman quote #70 from The Sandman

Ive been making a list of the things they dont teach you at school. They dont teach you how to love somebody. They dont teach you how to be famous. They dont teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They dont teach you how to walk away from someone you dont love any longer. They dont teach you how to know whats going on in someone elses mind. They dont teach you what to say to someone whos dying. They dont teach you anything worth knowing.
