Marilyn Monroe

“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

fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”

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

“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

“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

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

“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
15.
“Being deeply loved by someone gives you
strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
―
Lao Tzu
16.
“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

love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing
moment.”

“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

“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.”
―
John Green

“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.”
―
Nicholas Sparks

“Love looks not with the eyes, but with
the mind,
And
therefore, is winged Cupid painted blind.”

William Shakespeare

“Love is like the wind; you can't see it
but you can feel it.”
―
Nicholas Sparks

“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...”
―
Elizabeth Gilbert

“There is nothing I would not do for
those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves,
it is not my nature.”
―
Jane Austen

“You don't love someone because they're
perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're not.”
―
Jodi Picoult

“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.”
―
Anais Nin

“If you can make a woman laugh, you can
make her do anything.”
―
Marilyn Monroe

“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.”
―
Robert Fulghum
