"Pairless souls wander the earth in search of a companion. They search in places that are empty and pointless. The best place to look is right in front of you. Love is an intriguing thing. But searching for it will get you no where. Let it come to you. If you are patient enough and keep an open mind and heart, then love shall apear before you in its simplest form: another soul."

Life isn't fair. It's just fairer than death, that's all.

--William Goldman/excerpt from, "The Princess Bride"--
For Rocky:



As the tears of sorrow
Mothers have shed -
Prayers that tomorrow
Shall in vain be sped
When the flower they flow for
Lies frozen and dead -
Fall on the throbbing brow, fall on the burning breast,
Bringing no rest.

--Matthew Arnold/excerpt from, "The Voice"--

...

You can work it out by Fractions or by simple Rule of Three,
But the way of Tweedle-dum is not the way of Tweedle-dee.
You can twist it, you can turn it, you can plait it till you drop,
But the way of Pilly Winky's not the way of Winkie Pop!

--Rudyard Kipling/excerpt from, "The Jungle Book"--

Don't feel like reading the whole quote thread so don't know if this one has already been said. I first saw it in a not too good movie called Kuffs and liked it, not sure if i'm quoting word for word but this is what i remember:

Life is what happens in between your plans.


Also I saw this online some where a couple years ago and loved the quote, author was annynomous:

Life is a song, Love is the music.

"Superficial people seek superficial qualities. Shallow men are about as deep as a crack in the sidewalk. They have been given one criteria for success ? money ? and they use that money as a commodity to purchase a woman's chief commodity: her physical beauty." -

?I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.? - Anonymous
