The Five Fights Couples Should Stop Having

In wealth a man is freed to show his character, in love, the contents of his heart.

We’re best friends and we’re lovers; she has my back and I’ve got hers. I didn’t see it coming… but love is just like that. You can search for a lifetime, and suddenly, it’s there.

The Longing “O love, you’ve avoided me. Have I not made my sacrifices? Have I not burnt my incense? I’ve said my prayers. I’m dressed in my finest silk. My words are your words, my heart is welcoming, my lips pouting. I wait… and wait… and yet, you keep me waiting. How much longer will you? What more can I do? You can’t blame me for being impatient, it’s been so long. My heart is growing in envy of lovers everywhere. Why have I not found my love… this love that’s meant for me? Is this another trick, a sleight of hand? A make-believe to have me holding on… to test my faith? Damn. I must keep faith. I must keep faith, you said, the ones who’ve laboured must be paid.” G. A. D. Brown

The deepest love is when your laughter and your scars both feel safe in the same pair of arms.

What is love, if not to be with someone with whom time passes; and you forget the hours and the days, lost in the moments. And then night comes, and when the stars are out, love shines its brightest; and love goes on, and on, and love goes on until the end of all the days.

Love doesn’t ask you to be perfect; it dares you to be present.

Love is freedom. It cannot be held captive and enslaved; it must be free. It has rights, and it demands respect. It'll not live stifled in a place where it can't breathe. It’s like a bird... hold it softly, and watch as it flies away, then feel the joy of it, as it returns.

Love, true love, is untainted, incorruptible, without fear; filled with hope; it is bold and proud of its many victories.

The most radical act of love is choosing not to abandon yourself.

Love is the drink we drink, whenever we thirst for life.
