| "Love is the sweetest of dreams and the worst of nightmares." ~ William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream "Oft expectation fails, and most oft it fails where most it promises..." ~ Ibid, All�s Well That Ends Well "And when I shall die, take him and cut him up in little stars, and he will make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will fall in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun." ~ Ibid, Romeo & Juliet "The pure, the beautiful, the bright, That stirred our hearts in youth, The impulse to a wordless prayer, The dreams of love and truth, The longings after something lost, The spirit's yearning cry, The strivings after better hopes,� These things can never die. Things that never die." ~ Sarah Doudney "Hope is like a bluebell, trembling from its birth, Love is like a rose, the joy of all the earth, Faith is like a lily, lifted high and white, Love is like a lovely rose, the world�s delight. Bluebells and sweet lilies show a thornless growth, But it is the rose with all its thorns that excels them both." ~ Christina Georgina Rosetti "Love stinks!" ~ Oscar the Grouch "A mighty pain to love it is, And �tis a pain that pain to miss; But of all pains, the greatest pain It is to love, but love in vain." "Hope, of all ills that men endure, the only cheap and universal cure." ~ Abraham Cowley "Have you found your life distasteful? My life did, and does, smack sweet. Was your youth of pleasure wasteful? Mine I saved and hold complete. Do your joys with age diminish? When mine fail me, I'll complain. Must in death your daylight finish? My sun sets to rise again." "Good, to forgive; best, to forget! Living, we fret; dying, we live." "Can we love but on the condition that the thing we love must die?" ~ Robert Browning "And happiness too swiftly flies? Thought would destroy their paradise. No more; where ignorance is bliss, 'Tis folly to be wise." ~ Thomas Gray "If this isn't love, I don't think I can handle the real thing." ~ Ethan Hawke, Great Expectations "Love can hope where reason would despair." ~ Lyttleton "Things never turn out exactly the way you planned. Growing up happens in a heartbeat. One day your in diapers, the next your gone, but the memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul. I remember a place, a house like a lot of houses, a yard like a lot of yards, on a street like a lot of other streets. And the thing is, after all these years I still look back in wonder." "All of our young lives we search for someone to love. Someone that makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope. All the while wondering if somewhere, somehow, there's someone perfect who might be searching for us." ~ Daniel Stern, The Wonder Years ""I guess when your heart gets broken, you sort of start to see the cracks in everything. I'm convinced that tragedy wants to harden us, and that our mission is to never let it." ""I'm learning, little by little, that we decide what our lives are going to be. Things happen to us, but it is our reactions that matter." ~ Janeane Garofalo, Felicity Justine: "I won't compromise my career because of the feelings I have for my boss." Jimmy: "Well then, you're fired. How about dinner tonight?" ~ Murder One More Quotes Back Home |
