Quotes

Friday 22 July 2011

If you hadn't already noticed I quote things a lot; songs, books, movies, people. You name it, I've probably quoted it at some point. Gotta love a quote or two. Quotes say things that you want to say - but better or perhaps just have a good message within them. Sometimes I skip out parts of quotes simply because they aren't really relevant or whatever. Just in case any of you had noticed. So here's another for you all.

"Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion... That is just being 'in love', which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree not two. But sometimes the petals fall away and the roots have not entwined."
