Physical nutrition is required to survive but you need to be mentally/emotionally healthy to thrive.

Being smart takes patience. Being wise takes pain. Being apathetic takes practice. Being in love takes everything…away.

When your heart knows the truth, it never forgets.

Life’s tough. It’s a challenge. So think of love as your hard earned reward. Don’t let doubt take that away from you.

When your diary is full and your life is empty, get a date

In the big scheme of things, all’s we really need, is a little love

Iron deficiency can lead to a wardrobe full of crumpled clothes

Falling into true love, is not taking a rope to climb out

When everything gets too much, give some away

A thin man can squeeze into a fat body, yet you can only squeeze a fat man to become thin

Always think backwards before moving forwards

In the big scheme of things, it’s the little things that matter

When your tears become invisible, disappear

Noah held my hand and my bag as he escorted me to the third floor – the Women’s Pavilion. The elevator bell rang and the doors opened. “Jesus, Echo, circulation in my hand would be a good thing,” said Noah. “Sorry.” I tried to let go, but Noah kept his fingers linked with mine.

Noah drew me closer to him. “It’s okay. I’ve got you.

Yes You Are!Like the Blossoming rose,Like the Rays of hope.Like a deer in the forest,Like an athlete full of zest.Like a lamp in temple,Like the life feeling ample.Like the feel of the dawn,Like the grace of the swan.Like the melody of sitar,Like the rage of guitar.Like a group of angels in the sky,Like the pot...

I can’t help you, I can only guide you, and you are the one who can help yourself.

When stupidity reaches its highest level, we act rubbish knowingly

It reminds me that no embrace will ever feel the same again, because no one will ever be like her again, because she’s gone. She’s gone, and crying feels so useless, so stupid, but it’s all I can do.

Did you really cease to love a person because you had been treated cruelly?

You scared the shit out of me last night, so forgive me if I don’t want to hear fine as an answer.”I rubbed my eyes, hoping it would keep the burning tears away. The warm water of the shower had finally calmed the tears, but the thought of Noah walking away brought them back. “What...

Not sure how I felt about Antonio and Echo, I linked my fingers with hers. Antonio cocked a surprised eyebrow. Damn straight, bro. I just marked my territory.

Always ask, ‘Do you love me?’ before saying, ‘I love you.

Please, Noah, I don’t want to do this wrong. Tell me how to make you feel good.”He shifted so that his body rested beside mine, his leg and arm still draped over me. I felt small under his warmth and strength. His chocolate-brown eyes softened. “Being with you feels good. Touching you-” he tucked a...

Getting habitual to her so much that you can’t think anything else but her all the time and one day she leaves. It is suddenly an existence crisis. It is painful. Everything feels worthless and the only thing that can save your mental state is some more moments with her. But you can’t get them....

It is with words that my heart sings, with the substance of integrity my character soars and without regret I look back smiling ~bns

Come here, baby.” And with my words, Echo leaned into me soft, pliant, broken. “You’re not alone,” I whispered into her hair as I cradled her in my arms. “You’re not alone, because you have me.” And I love you, more than you could ever know

I’ve got you. I swear to God, I’ve got you,” said Noah. “Stay with me, Echo.”I wanted to. I wanted to stay with him, but the shouting and screams and glass breaking in my mind grew louder. “Make it stop.”He tightened his grip on my arms. “Fight, Echo! You’ve got to fucking fight. Come on,...

Noah?”A welcome voice – not my mother’s, but welcome all the same: Echo. A smile spread across my face. This was too good. Me in a towel, alone in the house with my nymph. I left the bathroom.

I love you enough to never make you choose.

Love is forever, when you love deeply it is always there, just waiting to appear with gentle coaxing. In it’s silence it whispers find me.~bns

Yet, it had been Dimitri’s gentleness and thoughtfulness mixed with that deadliness that made him so wonderful. The same hands that wielded stakes with such precision would carefully brush the hair out of my face. The eyes that could astutely spot any danger in the area would regard me wonderingly and worshipfully, like I was...

Nothing is permanent in my mysterious world, even my moments of belief – Jenifer

You’ll have a good, secure life when being alive means more to you than security, love more than money, your freedom more than public or partisan opinion, when the mood of Beethoven’s or Bach’s music becomes the mood of your whole life … when your thinking is in harmony, and no longer in conflict, with...

Her loving hands, soft lips, and perfumed scents were an addiction for which he had no cure.

The trouble with you is that the only way you can communicate is through art. You’ve never learned to communicate your feelings to a man. You don’t even want to communicate in a relationship. You think that if you open up to love, you’ll lose your independence or your self-expression or creativity or whatever you...

…he glanced over his shoulder at her, regarding her, as he often did before they made love, as if she were a lost continent about to be rediscovered.

Albert Camus wrote that the only serious question is whether to kill yourself or not.Tom Robbins wrote that the only serious question is whether time has a beginning and an end.Camus clearly got up on the wrong side of bed, and Robbins must have forgotten to set the alarm.There is only one serious question.

Who knows how to make love stay?1. Tell love you are going to Junior’s Deli on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn to pick up a cheesecake, and if loves stays, it can have half. It will stay.2. Tell love you want a momento of it and obtain a lock of its hair. Burn the hair in...

Leo, I have another secret. I’ve fallen in love with you.” “I’ve always loved you.

You and your siblings are the most precious part of my life. And of all my children, you have the most potential to go anywhere you wish in this world – your test scores and grades have always been among the highest of your peers. But it’s clear now that you cannot reach your full...

Smartass Disciple: Master, why should people love each other ?Master of Stupidity: Well, orgasm is felt better than kill each other.

Did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there..

I love him, and he loves me. And being together makes even the little things better.

No knife cuts as swiftly, deeply and precisely as the blade of the Beloved.

Here, her hand in mine was the one reality that severed us from the cold click-clack of Hell. I rubbed her hand and she sighed; wasn’t that meaning? Wasn’t that something we could cling to? I could be with this other. I could form no other relation, but maybe her hand in mine was enough,...

It seemed funny that one day I would go to bed in her arms and the next not feel anything, like a switch had gone off. But no, that wasn’t honest either. This had been building for a long time. Our silences were getting longer. Our arguments more frequent. How do you stay with someone...

I felt so peaceful and safe because I knew that no matter what happened, from that day on, nothing can ever be that bad..because I had you.

Hey, can I come in?

The bottom line is that (a) people are never perfect, but love can be, (b) that is the one and only way that the mediocre and vile can be transformed, and (c) doing that makes it that. We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love.
