“For most people, love is a response to need fulfillment. Everyone has needs. You need this, another needs that. You both see in each other a chance for need fulfillment. So you agree-tacitly-to a trade. I'll trade you what I've got if you'll give me what you've got. It's a transaction. But you don't tell the truth about it. You don't say, "I trade you very much." You say, "I love you very much," and then the disappointment begins.” PeopleIfsInspirationalNeedsGivingReligiousChanceLove IsLove YouGive MeAgreeTradeResponseDisappointmentFulfillmentTelling The TruthNeed YouTransactionsSay I Love YouI Love You Very Much Book:Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue Source: Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue
“Promise to give me a kiss on my brow when I am dead. --I shall feel it." She dropped her head again on Marius' knees, and her eyelids closed. He thought the poor soul had departed. Eponine remained motionless. All at once, at the very moment when Marius fancied her asleep forever, she slowly opened her eyes in which appeared the sombre profundity of death, and said to him in a tone whose sweetness seemed already to proceed from another world:-- "And by the way, Monsieur Marius, I believe that I was a little bit in love with you.” WorldWayGivingFeelsBelieveLittlesSaidSoulMomentsEyeI BelieveBitsPoorForeverLove YouPromiseKissingLittle BitGive MeKneesToneGoodbyeHer EyesSweetnessSaying GoodbyeBrowsAnother WorldDepartedEyelidsProfundityMarius Author:Victor Hugo
“Now give me a kiss, say you love me and off you go." "Sure, Aunt Lu," I said, and I gave her the kiss she wanted. Then I ran out and caught my bus. I didn't say I loved her. I guess I did. But asking someone to say they love you--and she always asked--is like buying yourself a birthday present. It's more than likely exactly what you want. But it must make you feel awfully sad to get it.” WantGivingFeelsSaidWantedLove YouKissingGive MeAskingCaughtWhat You WantRanBuyingBusAuntAnd Off Author:Avi
“I hated roses. I hated them for being so trite, so clichéd, a default, all-purpose flower that said I love you, I'm sorry, and get well soon. Give me peonies and tulips, orchids or gardenia.

“Give me yourself, O my God, give yourself back to me. Lo, I love you, but if my love is too mean, let me love more passionately. I cannot gauge my love, nor know how far it fails, how much more love I need for my life to set its course straight into your arms, never swerving until hidden in the covert of your face.” IfsKnowsNeedsGivingMeanFacesCoursesWealthLove IsKnow HowFailingLove YouArmsLet MeGive MeMiseryYour FaceWoeWithout YouGaugesCovert Author:Saint Augustine
