A man has only one escape from his old self: to see a different self- in the mirror of some woman's eyes. -:-Clare Boothe Luce
I regard as a mortal sin not only the lying of the senses in matters of love, but also the illusion which the senses seek to create where love is only partial. I say, I believe, that one must love with all of one's being, or else live, come what may, a life of complete chastity. -:-George Sand
Falling in love consists merely in uncorking the imagination and bottling the common-sense. -:-Helen Rowland
The deeper I spin The hunter will sin ... for your ivory skin ... Took a drive in the dirty rain To a place where the wind calls your name Under the trees the river laughing At you and me ... Halluijah, heavens white rose The doors you open I just can't close -:-U2, Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses?

In theory there is a possibility of perfect happiness: To believe in the indestructible element within one, and not to strive towards it. -:-
We loved, sir- used to meet: How sad and bad and mad it was- But then, how it was sweet! -:-Robert Browning
Lying here beside you, I hear the echoes of your sighs. Promise me you'll stay with me and keep warm tonight. So hold me close and love me. Give my heart a smile.-:- Feels So Right by Alabama
