love is the revolution

I'm a romantic.



And I'm happy that I know you.


Yes. You.



I have found the paradox; that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
-Mother Teresa



A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another.
-John 13:34



Whoso loves, believes the impossible.
-Elizabeth Barret Browning



Why love if losing hurts so much? We love to know that we are not alone.
-CS Lewis



Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.
-Oscar Wilde



Where there is love, there is life.
-Mohandas Gandhi



My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.
-William Shakespeare



A man is not where he lives, but where he loves.
-Latin Proverb



And to revive a meme that I did a couple months ago:

Comment here and I will tell you why I like/love you.

Even if we don't talk much, heck even if we have NEVER spoken, I want EVERYONE to participate. If you want to share the love and do the same at your journal, go ahead. You're under no obligation to carry it on if you comment here.

Go on everyone needs more love in their life.

Sonnet 17

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
in which there is no I or you
so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand
so intimate that when you fall asleep it is my eyes that close

-Pablo Neruda

I love love. Thank you for this! And NPH and David Burtka couldn't be any cuter!

Dearheart, I don't think I've told you this, but I wanted to be friends with you long before we actually became friends. I noticed you in cherie's posts and that we shared a love for Anna. Clearly you had good taste.

Then we finally became friends, and I was right. You have excellent taste. So I love you for that.

Of course, now that I know you better, I love you for so much more than that. I love you for your sense of humor and that make me laugh. I love you for how thoughtful and intelligent you are. I love you for your love of football, which I don't understand but which makes me smile. I love you for how serious and organized and kind you are. On the flipside, I love how batshit crazy you are. I love that I trust you, which is an odd thing to say to someone I've never actually met, but I feel like if I told you a secret you would keep, and if I asked you to do something you would do it.

I love you because you're my friend. And I can't wait to see you in October.
