Love Quotes And Sayings Quotes

“All happiness and sorrow have their roots in desire, I thought. Loving something is not easy, not when you have a mind that mucks it up all the time with your expectations of it. When you love a person, the expectations get even higher, and we have even more chances to muck it up. That’s why love doesn’t last too long for most people. The challenge of love isn’t looking past somebody’s flaws, it’s overcoming yours, that’s the only way you can see who they really are and love them for it.”

“It was true that he had many qualities I desired in the man of my dreams, but that didn’t erase the set of undesirable qualities within him. Based on the desired qualities, I had made him up as a person that he probably wasn’t in reality. If he was lovable, it didn’t mean that he couldn’t see me cry; if we were alike in many ways, it didn’t mean that he understood me every time; if he showed concern for me, it didn’t mean that he could never hurt me. He was just human, like I was, like everyone else was. I needed to stop putting him on a pedestal and accept him for who he was. I needed to shift my focus from my idea of him and an imagined future life with him to the real person and his willingness to let go of the idea of us being together in the future for a different reality.”

“Feeling lost, I wondered if I was being too sensitive for not being able to cut chords with people who didn’t think twice before leaving me or if they were too inhuman to cut me off like I never mattered to them. I wondered why my relationships always ended so abruptly and suddenly, or if I ignored the red flags for too long.”

“And if the world asked me, what is love? I would not point to poems or stars or endless metaphors I would simply point to her. Because love is her. In every curve, in every laugh, in every silence. She is both the question and the answer. And she is the forever I didn’t know how to ask for, but was blessed to find.”

“So time can hurry or dawdle all it wants, I’ll keep doing the work of loving you. We’ll laugh louder than the clock, plan messily, fail spectacularly and still show up. No elegies here, only stubborn, joyful practice: one good morning at a time, definitely one saturday at a time, Few extra minutes before sleeping at a time, We always find a way That's what we are! What's what we do...”

“Lately she has realized love truly has no reason No boundaries And no barriers It just happens It creeps up on you unknowingly Emotions slowly grow deeper And after some time it hits you And just like that she fell so hard She fell hard for a man she didn't realize she could fall madly for He was different from what she knew So in the end if it is it will be...... Regardless of age, wealth, materials.... it just happens”

“Once again I am riding my bike on the streets of loneliness. Your thoughts are the anchor that make me ride fast yet not lose my balance. You had promised me that you would never leave me alone. But I do know that the love that you have bestowed on me is more precious than the biggest pearls discovered by the sailors on their voyages of prosperity. I too sail on myriad voyages in the ocean of my life. And your love holds my ship steady in those turbulent waters of life when even the moon does not show her face to the world!”

“Love is my favorite drug; I overdose on it regularly.”

“Women are the best thieves you will ever meet; they steal your heart and your last name, but never get to spend the night in jail.”

“Be calm on your wedding day; she won’t kill you in front of a hundred people, no matter what you've done.”

“A sword can only pierce the body, but love can pierce the soul.”

“When you hear love calling you, don’t pretend to be deaf.”

“Love is the essence of this religion. I pray that we will approach all of our questions and concerns, especially the most difficult and intimate questions, with love, in order to be able more and more to solve our problems with love. The Sufi lives in a compassionate and passionate universe, a universe born from a spark of love. (p. 108)”
