“we all write about love don’t we. but love is the thing. it is the thing that will always need the most nurturing and attention. it is the thing that we can taste when it is gone. it is the thing that makes a smile that can not be unsmiled. it is the thing that the world beats to.”
- Ingrid Michaelson
My right hand is held
by someone who knows more
and I am learning
My left hand is held
by someone who knows less
and I am teaching
Both my hands must be held
for me to be.

“The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.”
- Thomas Merton
“Love is passion, obsession, someone you can’t live without. If you don’t start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who’ll love you the same way back. And how do you find them? Forget your head and listen to your heart… Run the risk, if you get hurt, you’ll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love – well, you haven’t lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven’t tried, you haven’t lived…”
- Movie Quote, MEET JOE BLACK, 1998
“The only way to get what you really want, is to know what you really want. And the only way to know what you really want, is to know yourself. And the only way to know yourself, is to be yourself. And the only way to be yourself is to listen to your heart.”
- Mike Dooley
“The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along”
- Rumi
“Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.”
