Happy Valentine’s Day!
My man left a bunch of quotes on my desk this afternoon. I figured I would share them with you all.
For one human being to love another that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof; the work for which all other work is but preparation.
-Rainer Maria RilkeYou come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.
-Sam KeenThe person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it dows not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inpiriation.
-Pearl S. BuckKindness in words creates confidence.
Kindness in thinking creates profoundness.
Kindness in giving creates love.
-Lao TzoThe only gift is a portion of thyself.
-Ralph Waldo EmersonFind the person who will love you because of your differences and not in spite of them and you have found a lover for life.
-Leo BuscagliaLove cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil of another’s heart, or it’s flame burns low.
-Henry ward BeecherLove does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking together in the same direction.
-Antoine de Saint-ExuperyIn the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing.
-Mignon McLaughlinLove is a mutual self-giving which ends in self-recovery.
-Fulton J. SheenThe heart has reasons that reason does not understand.
-Jacques Benigne BossuelWhat greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined… to strengthen each other… to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.
-George EliotThe loving are the daring.
-Bayard Taylor
May all of you love and be loved.
For those that find this day to be a contemptuous lonely one, it’s just a feast day of a dead saint anyway.
