Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
Love can sometimes be magic. But magic can sometimes... just be an illusion.
We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love.
from The Lathe of Heaven Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new. . -Ursula K. LeGuin.
I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down. That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty... you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are.
All love shifts and changes. I don't know if you can be wholeheartedly in love all the time.
You don't have to touch someone to love them, It's not in the kiss, It's in the times you don't kiss.
The day will come when, after harnessing the winds, the tides and gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of Love. And on that day, for the second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire. -Teilhard de Chardin.
If I am unaware of love, I live drably. If I become intoxicated with love, I live in dreamland. If I recognize love, and shake his hand then comfort, dreams, and sometimes intoxication become mine to drench in and give away as well. -Nellie Curtiss.
This is the third time; I hope good luck lies in odd numbers. Away; go. They say there is divinity in odd numbers, either in nativity, chance, or death.

The ultimate of being successful is the luxury of giving yourself the time to do what you want to do.
A little inaccuracy sometimes saves a lot of explanations.
Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reform.
All the world's a stage, And all the men and merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts....
If we think we regulate printing, thereby to rectify manners, we must regulate all regulations and pastimes, all that is delightful to man.

A good marriage is at least 80 percent good luck in finding the right person at the right time. The rest is trust.
More marriages might survive if the partners realized that sometimes the better comes after the worse.
A great poet has seldom sung of lawfully wedded happiness, but of free and secret love; and in this respect, too the time is coming when there will no longer be one standard of morality for poetry and another for life. To anyone tender of conscience, the ties formed by a free connection are stronger than the legal ones.
Our admiration is so given to dead martyrs that we have little time for living heroes.
For years [my wedding ring] has done its job. It has led me not into temptation. It has reminded my husband numerous times at parties that it's time to go home. It has been a source of relief to a dinner companion. It has been a status symbol in the maternity ward.
For talk six times with the same single lady, And you may get the wedding dress ready.
It takes a long time to bring excellence to maturity.
Maturity is the time of life when, if you had the time, you'd have the time of your life.
