words to keep sane.

"once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering."
the history of love

"honestly, if you're not willing to sound stupid, you don't deserve to be in love."
a lot like love

"it might hurt, it was horribly inconvenient, no good might come of it, but he had found out for himself what it was to be in love, and it thrilled him."
atonement

"what value will there be in life if we are not together."
becoming jane

"just to be in love seemed the most blissful luxury i had ever known. the thought that came to me that perhaps it is the loving that counts, not the being loved in return- that perhaps true loving can never know anything but happiness."
i capture the castle

"the greatest thing you will ever learn is just to love, and be loved in return."
moulin rouge

sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more. men were deceivers ever- one foot in sea and one on shore, to one thing constant never. then sigh not so, but let them go, and be you blithe and bonny, converting all your sounds of woe into hey nonny, nonny!
- william shakespeare

i say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. and how do you find him? forget your head and listen to your heart. i'm not hearing any heart. run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. to make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. you have to try. because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived.
meet joe black

It's that wonderful old-fashioned idea that others come first and you come second. This was the whole ethic by which I was brought up. Others matter more than you do, so 'don't fuss, dear; get on with it.'
