quotes, quotes and quotes...some of my favourites

quotes.. these are my favourite words, the best thing about them is that its very philosophical, and you're always right, because its not thought of by you.. most of my quotes come from songs, like Fall out boy, or the strokes, or elefante, or bloc party, or eric clapton, or dudes like bob marley..anyway, i haven't used quotes from movies or famous classical heroes, or old minds(like aristotle and socrates)so here are my collections of quotes that i really, really really like...well most of them are on love, and most of them are from wikiquote, and from this book of quotations that i bought a few years back...

"And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit. For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught."

"Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love. "

Khalil Gibran, The Prophet

"The Encyclopedia Galactica, in its chapter on Love states that it is far too complicated to define. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say on the subject of love: Avoid, if you are able to."

Douglas Adams in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

"All our young lifes we search for someone to love. Someone who makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope. All the while wondering if somewhere, somehow, there's someone perfect who might be searching for us."

Kevin Arnold (Daniel Stern) narrating in The Wonder Years (1988)

"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies."

Aristotle

"The stage is more beholding to love, than the life of man. For as to the stage, love is ever matter of comedies, and now and then of tragedies; but in life it doth much mischief; sometimes like a siren, sometimes like a fury"

Francis bacon

"True love is your soul's recognition of its counterpoint in another."

John Beckwith ( Owen Wilson) in Wedding Crashers

"You are at the begining of your life, perhaps you will have many loves, but if you are fortunate, you will have only one love."

Jolee Bindo, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

"All I have is my love of love and love is not loving. "

David bowie

"Our love is like the wind you can't see it but you can feel it! "

Landon Carter, A Walk to Remember

"Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes. There are three things that last faith, hope and love, and love is the greatest of these."

Landon Carter in A Walk to Remember

"Love is watching someone die."

Death Cab For Cutie

"Love is most nearly itself when here and now cease to matter. "

T.S Eliot


"Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come. "

Matt Groening, Creator of the Simpsons

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will finally know peace."

Jimi Hendrix

"There is scarcely anything else in the world but that: to love one another. "

Victor Hugo in Les Misérables

"You are what you love, not what loves you"

Donald Kaufman (Nicholas Cage) in Adaptation

"Everyone can be great because anyone can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't even have to make your subject and verb agree to serve...You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love"

Martin Luther King, Jr

"We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it. "

"Everything is clearer when you're in love."

"Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear"

John Lennon

"That which is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil."

Friedrich Nietzsche

""How grateful I was then to be part of the mystery, to love and to be loved. Let's just hope that is enough."

"Love's an excuse to get hurt. And to hurt."

Conor Oberst

"In uncertainty I am certain that underneath their topmost layers of frailty men want to be good and want to be loved. Indeed most of their vices are attempted short cuts to love. When a man comes to die, no matter what his talents and influence and genius, if he dies unloved his life must be a failure to him and his dying a cold horror. "

John Steinbeck in East of Eden

"True love is the only heart disease that is best left to run on. "

Mark Twain

'Stop talking about love. Every asshole in the world says he loves somebody. It means nothing.'
'But it's true-'
'Still doesn't mean anything. What you feel only matters to you. It is what you do to the people you love; that's what matters. That's the only thing that counts.'

Stephen (Tom Wilkinson), in The Last Kiss (2006)

"Man is in love and loves what vanishes,
What more is there to say? "

William Butler YEats
