You can tell a lot about a person by listening to the way they talk about someone they once loved.

Blood banks are all closed; you can’t use others to keep you warm.

Hurricanes are named after people, baby, and I hope you know that falling in love with me will be so much more treacherous than boarding up the windows and waiting for me to pass.

The Smiths dream into my ear on this lost and lonely morning. I sing along like it is the only prayer I know (forgive me, Mother Mary).

If we are simply energy, neither created or destroyed, and if a body is just a body, celestial or not, why don’t you come over here and we will make collisions out of moments.

I’m just a broken person looking for other broken people who may have gotten shards of me stuck in their feet and aren’t too concerned about pulling them out.

I don’t feel that no big stone should be put over my head, saying he did this, he did that. Unless there’s something that I really did do. I believe I’m just ordinary. And I’d like for people to think of me that way, as just a guy that tried. Wanted to be loved by other people because he loved people.

Love. The reason I dislike that word is that it means too much for me, far more than you can understand. (Anna Karenina)

My love rumbles like the sternum of a lion. Be mindful of the beast you stir up.

I was a poem, she was a melody, songs emerged between us.

To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.

When you plant a seed of love, it is you that blossoms.

Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy get the best of me.

“Any love makes us vulnerable. Whatever we love will give the gift of pain somewhere along the road. But who would live sealed in spiritual cellophane just to keep from ever being hurt? There are a few people like that. I’m sorry for them. I think they are as good as dead.” – Gladys Bagg Taber

Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination.

I know you’re dying to meet me, but I can just tell you this. Baby, as soon as you meet me, you’ll wish that you never did.

There is no remedy for love than to love more.

True love is finding your soulmate in your best friend.

I won’t take anyone down if I crawl tonight. But I still let everyone down when I change in size.

It doesn’t matter if you have a valentine or not – just love yourself and be your own.

A man in love is like a clipped coupon – it’s time to cash in!
