say what?

Some inspiring and cute quotes I found surfing the web:

"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident."
- Captain Corelli's Mandolin

"(...) la memoria del corazón elimina los malos recuerdos y magnifíca los buenos y gracias a ese artificio logramos sobrellevar el pasado."
- El Amor en los Tiempos del Cólera

"¿Cuánto tiempo esperarías al amor de tú vida? (...) toda la vida".
- El Amor en los Tiempos del Cólera

"To him she seemed so beautiful, so seductive, so different from ordinary people, that he could not understand why no one was as disturbed as he by the clicking of her heels on the paving stones, why no one else's heart was wild with the breeze stirred by the sighs of her veils, why everyone did not go mad with the movements of her braid, the flight of her hands, the gold of her laughter. He had not missed a single one of her gestures, not one of the indications of her character, but he did not dare approach her for fear of destroying the spell."
- Love in the Times of Cholera

"It's so easy, to think about Love, to Talk about Love, to wish for love, but it's not always easy, to recognize love, Even when we hold it...in our hands."
- Jaka

"You and you alone make me feel that I am alive...Other men, it is said, have seen angels, but I have seen thee and thou art enough."
- George Moore

"Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction."
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

"Sometimes your nearness takes my breath away; and all the things I want to say can find no voice. Then, in silence, I can only hope my eyes will speak my heart."
- Robert Sexton

"Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love."
- Erich Fromm

"You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly."
- Sam Keen

"Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too; this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves."
- Blaise Pascal

"The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed."
- Carl Jung

"There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness."
- Friedrich Nietzsche

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."
- Lao Tzu

"The most eloquent silence; that of two mouths meeting in a kiss."
- Unknown

"So dear I love him that with him,
All deaths I could endure.
Without him, live no life."
- William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

"Love is, above all else, the gift of oneself."
- Jean Anouilh

“El amor es comprensivo, el amor es servicial y no tiene envidia; el amor no presume ni se engríe; no es mal educado ni egoísta; no se irrita, no lleva cuentas del mal; no se alegra de la injusticia, sino que goza con la verdad. Disculpa sin límites, cree sin límites, espera sin límites, aguanta sin límites. El amor no pasa nunca”.
- San Pablo

"At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet."
- Plato
