Love And Romantic Sayings


"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 (1922-1969)


"People were made to love and be loved... it's part of our DNA. For when we know that there is even just one person in the entire universe who loves us with all they have, we feel that we have greater meaning. Our eyes become opened to new possibilities. We are more courageous, more playful, more self-assured. And all because we know another really cares."

Here is a one of the classic famous romantic movie quotes of all time:

“Love is not measured by how many times you touch each other but by how many times you reach each other.”

Certainly one of the most historically famous quotes about love and romantic sayings of all time:
“No matter where you go, however far away, a part of me will be with you and a part of you, with me, will stay. But to see her was to love her, love but her, and love her forever.

An example of one of the classically endearing but short romantic quotes:

"Perhaps love is the process of my gently leading you back to yourself."
~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-44)


Isn't the above so very true...

"Sometimes we allow the more painful expereiences of life to buffet us around a bit too much. We seek to protect ourselves from future pain and thus, without even really being consciously aware of what we are doing, we give up some of our vulnerability, some of our tenderness, some of our childlikenss... and in the process we become less of who we were created to be.

Then one day, someone special comes along who seems to make the risk of being hurt worthwhile. They provide the catalyst for our process of futher self-discovery. In the process of spending time together, we feel the icicles around our heart melting away... we, like litte children again, want to believe, want to experience, want to give and share. And thus, without even really being consciously aware of what we are doing, we allow that speical someone to gently lead us back to ourselves... and way beyond."
