"They say when you are missing someone that they are probably feeling the same, but I don’t think it’s possible for you to miss me as much as I’m missing you right now."

"In my arms is a woman who has given me a Skywatcher’s Cloud Chart, a woman who knows all my secrets, a woman who knows just how messed up my mind is, how many pills I’m on, and yet she allows me to hold her anyway. There’s something honest about all this, and I cannot imagine any other woman lying in the middle of a frozen soccer field with me - in the middle of a snowstorm even - impossibly hoping to see a single cloud break free of a nimbostratus."

"The key to all knowledge comes in words of just one syllable, apparently…. There’s only the last page left to write on. I’ll fill it with words of just one syllable. I love. I have loved. I will love."

"We were so wholly one I had not thought
That we could die apart. I had not thought
That I could move,—and you be stiff and still!
That I could speak,—and you perforce be dumb!
I think our heart-strings were, like warp and woof
In some firm fabric, woven in and out;
Your golden filaments in fair design
Across my duller fibre."
That we could die apart. I had not thought

Your golden filaments in fair design
Across my duller fibre."

As it has been said:
Love and a cough
cannot be concealed.
Even a small cough.
Even a small love.
~Anne Sexton
Top 12 Literary Love Quotes
- I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close. ~Pablo Neruda
- If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you. ~A.A. Milne
- Each time you happen to me all over again. ~Edith Wharton
- Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. ~Emily Brontë
- What greater thing is there for two human souls, than to feel that they are joined for life—to strengthen each other in all labour, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all pain, to be one with each other in silent unspeakable memories at the moment of the last parting? ~George Eliot
- Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be. ~Robert Browning
- He wants only her stalking beauty, her theatre of expressions. He wants the minute secret reflection between them, the depth of field minimal, their foreignness intimate like two pages of a closed book. ~Michael Ondaatje
- Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering. ~Nicole Krauss
- We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has only happened once, and that’s why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I’ll never forget a single moment of it. ~Nicholas Sparks
- Soul meets soul on lovers’ lips. ~Percy Bysshe Shelley

- If you are not long, I will wait for you all my life. ~Oscar Wilde
by Amanda Patterson from Writers Write
"I keep thinking about this river somewhere, with the water moving really fast. And these two people in the water, trying to hold onto each other, holding on as hard as they can, but in the end it’s just too much. The current’s too strong. They’ve got to let go, drift apart. That’s how it is with us. It’s a shame, Kath, because we’ve loved each other all our lives. But in the end, we can’t stay together forever."
