Words to Live By

One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes. ~~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery, “The Little Prince”

I thought the perfect man existed only in my dreams. I was wrong; and I woke up 20 years too late. ~~ Joni M. Mueller

You can’t find love, it comes to you, but you can lose it, and it can be killed. It can be ignored to death. It can be denied to death. It can be mortally wounded. You can hurt love so much that it turns its back on you. ~~ Leather Menace

Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists. When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence. ~~ Edmond and Jules de Goncourt
