“Regret it afterwards, but with what pleasant regrets, there will be no tattered shameful memories of a greedy love, hotly stolen one parting night, no shattered illusions or painful recriminations, just a gentle, wistful smile and stirring of desire, a little regret for a cool and pleasant body still virgin for each other. It seems a crime not to take, but perhaps the crime would be greater in the taking.” LifeWisdomTruthDesireRegretReflectionContemplationAttributed No Source Author:Gordon Roddick, 1963

“The completion of the anticipated is often anticlimactic disillusionment, cruel and harsh. Thus, ideals are good as long as they are unattainable, even though we swear we will attain them.” LifePhilosophyWisdomTruthReflectionIdealsContemplationAttributed No Source Author:Gordon Roddick, 1963

“The attainment of ideals is the attainment of perfection, and pure perfection is imperfection since it can only be boring and undesirable.

“Sometimes you want to say, “I love you, but…” Yet the “but” takes away the ‘I love you’. In love their are no ‘buts’ or ‘if’s’ or ‘when’. It’s just there, and always. No beginning, no end. It’s the condition-less state of the heart. Not a feeling that comes and goes at the whim of the emotions. It is there in our heart, a part of our heart…eventually grafting itself into each limb and cell of our bodies. Love changes our brain, the way we move and talk. Love lives in our spirit and graces us with its presence each day, until death. To say “I love you, but….” is to say, “I did not love you at all”. I say this to you now: I love you, with no beginning, no end. I love you as you have become an extra necessary organ in my body. I love you as only a girl could love a boy. Without fear. Without expectations. Wanting nothing in return, except that you allow me to keep you here in my heart, that I may always know your strength, your eyes, and your spirit that gave me freedom and let me fly.” LovePassionFriendshipLoversLove StoryBreakupUnconditionalI Love YouLove AffairBreakupsI Love HimPassionsLove And RomanceJamie Weise Author:Jamie Weise
