"When you look at me, I can hardly breathe..."
- Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys
“There is a time for risky love. There is a time for extravagant gestures. There is a time
to pour out your affections on one you love. And when the time comes --seize it, don't miss it.”
- Max Lucado
"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
"If you weren’t real I would make you up...Looking for someone to trust without a fight... You're the honey and the moon that lights up my night... Ever since I've been with you, You hold me up all the time I'm falling down."
- Joseph Arthur
"Wait for the boy who pursues you, the one who will make an ordinary moment seem magical, the kind of boy who brings out the best in you and makes you want to be a better person, wait for the boy who will be your best friend, the person who will drop everything to be with you at any time of the day no matter what the circumstances, wait for the boy who makes you smile and when he smiles you know he needs you, wait for the boy who wants to show off to the world when you are in sweats and have no makeup on but appreciates it when you get all dolled up for him, and most of all wait for the boy who will put you at the center of his universe, because obviously he's the center of yours."
- Unknown
“I wasn't kissing her, I was whispering in her mouth.”
- Chico Marx
“How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said.”
- Victor Hugo
“The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly than even the final surrender; because this kiss already has within it that surrender.”
- Emil Ludwig
“Kiss till the cow comes home.”
- Francis Beaumont
"A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous."
- Ingrid Bergman
"Love is like a friendship caught on fire.
In the beginning a flame, very pretty,
Often hot and fierce,
But still only light and flickering.
As love grows older,
Our hearts mature
And our love becomes as coals,
Deep-burning and unquenchable."
- Bruce Lee
"To be in love is merely to be
In a state of perpetual anesthesia:
To mistake an ordinary young man for a Greek god
Or an ordinary young woman for a goddess."
- H.L. Mencken
“It doesn't matter who you love, or how you love, but that you love.”
- Rod McKuen
"Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket--safe, dark, motionless, airless-- it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable."
- C.S. Lewis
"Never close your lips to those whom you have opened your heart. A truer statement has never been said."
- Unknown
"You can shut yourself in your room, bolt the the door, but love will come in through the window. Draw the curtain, lock the casement, but love will seep through the walls. Never think, never think that you can be safe from love."
- Metamorphoses
"For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul."
- Judy Garland
"Perfect love is rare indeed - for to be a lover will require that you continually have the subtlety of the very wise, the flexibility of the child, the sensitivity of the artist, the understanding of the philosopher, the acceptance of the saint, the tolerance of the scholar and the fortitude of the certain."
- Leo Buscaglia
