Whee!

So, here's a bunch of quotes that I found and liked...

“Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence.”
-Erich Fromm

“To spare oneself from grief at all cost can be achieved only at the price of total detachment, which excludes the ability to experience happiness”
-Erich Fromm

“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love.”
-Washington Irving

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”
-Neil Gaiman

“If I never met you, I wouldn't like you. If I didn't like you, I wouldn't love you. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't miss you. But I did, I do, and I will.”
-Unknown

“You may not love me today, tomorrow, or ever, but I will love you until it kills me, and, even then, you'll be in my heart.”
-Unknown

“Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties”
-Jules Renard

“I don't want to live. I want to love first, and live incidentally.”
-Zelda Fitzgerald

“True love doesn't have a happy ending, because true love never ends."
-Unknown

“The difference between friendship and love is how much you can hurt each other”
-Ashleigh Brilliant

“The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be”
-Marcel Pagnol

“Your heart is my piñata.”
-Chuck Palahniuk

“It is better to lose your pride with someone you love rather than to lose that someone you love with your useless pride.”
-Unknown
