“The strength of a man isn’t seen in the power of his arms. It’s seen in the love with which he EMBRACES you.”

“To be deeply loved, means a willingness to cut yourself wide open, exposing your vulnerabilities… hopes, hurts, fears and flaws. Hiding behind the highlight reel of who you are, is the real you and that person is just as worthy of love. There is nothing more terrifying or fulfilling, than complete love, it’s worth the risk… reach for it.”

“Love conquers all,” Aphrodite promised. “Look at Helen and Paris. Did they let anything come between them?””Didn’t they start the Trojan War and get thousands of people killed?””Pfft. That’s not the point. Follow your heart.”

“I’m done. I don’t need anything more out of life. I have you, and that’s enough.”

“… it’s a blessed thing to love and feel loved in return.”

“For some people, “the point of no return” begins at the very moment their souls become aware of each others’ existence.”

“They wouldn’t understand, and I don’t feel the need to explain, simply because I know in my heart how real it was. When I think of you, I can’t help smiling, knowing that you’ve completed me somehow. I love you, not just for now, but for always, and I dream of the day that you’ll take me in your arms again”

“A gentleman holds my hand.A man pulls my hair.A soulmate will do both.”

“Love is like a good cake; you never know when it’s coming, but you’d better eat it when it does!”

“‎True love isn’t expressed in passionately whispered words an intimate kiss or a embrace; before two people are married, love is expressed in self-control, patience, even words left unsaid.”

“A competitive and insecure woman will tell you that “true love” is never giving up on someone you’re in love with. A confident and spiritual woman knows that “moving on” doesn’t mean you never loved someone. She realizes that letting go is what God needs her to do because both your happiness and hers requires taking different journeys for spiritual growth. Letting go is sometimes the hardest thing, but it is the most “real love” you will ever experience.”

“It is only with true love and compassion that we can begin to mend what is broken in the world. It is these two blessed things that can begin to heal all broken hearts.”

“The best love in the world, is the love of a man. The love of a man who came from your womb, the love of your son! I don’t have a daughter, but maybe the love of a daughter is the best, too. I am first and foremost me, but right after that, I am a mother. The best thing that I can ever be, is me. But the best gift that I will ever have, is being a mother.”

“True friends are those who came into your life, saw the most negative part of you, but are not ready to leave you, no matter how contagious you are to them.”
