![]() Author has written 9 stories for Love, Romance, and Horror. I am the girl that doesn't go to school dances, or games, and when I do go, I sit in a corner and read a book. I am the girl that people look through when I say something. I am the girl that spends most of her free time reading, writing, or doing other activities that most teenagers wouldn't call normal. I am the girl that people call weird and a freak either behind my back or to my face. I am the girl that doesn't spend all her time on MySpace, or talking to a girlfriend on a cell phone or regular phone. I am the girl that hasn't been asked out in a year. I am the girl that has stopped to smell the flowers and jump and splash in the rain. BUT I am also the girl who knows and is proud to be who she is, doesn’t care if people call her weird (it's a compliment), who loves reading and writing and doing the things that no one seems to have the time to do any more, who loves and is obsessed with Maximum Ride, who can express herself better with words than actions, who doesn't need a guy to complete her, and knows the importance of the little things. Girls What a Boyfriend SHOULD do: "I love him, I love him not. I love him, I can't stand him. I love him because I hate him. He drives me crazy. I can't stand him! I love him so much it hurts. I-oh screw it, he loves someone else anyways. Let's just go with I hate the poor sucker and beat my heart with a hammer!" Me during an IMing conversation about the guy I love. Yeah...I was kinda depressing, wasn't I...? "A mighty pain to love it is, and 'tis a pain that pain to miss; but of all the pains, the greatest pain is to love, but love in vain." "Love is blind, but friendship closes its eyes." "True love is like ghosts, which everybody talks about and few have seen." "We perceive when love begins and when it declines by our embarrassment when alone together." "Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all." "Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition." "When we are in love we often doubt that which we most believe." "Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship - never." "The richest love is that which submits to the arbitration of time." "There is no remedy for love but to love more." "Love cures people - both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it." "To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best." "If you love someone, let them go. If they return to you, it was meant to be. If they don't, their love was never yours to begin with..." "Love is hard work; and hard work sometimes hurts!" "You call it madness, but I call it love." "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more it is willing to see less." "If love is great, and there are no greater things, then what I feel for you must be the greatest." "The eskimos have 52 words for snow because it is so special to them; there ought to be as many for love!" "Love is like playing the guitar. First you must learn to play by the rules, then you must forget the rules and play from your heart." "Within you I lose myself "If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you've made me smile, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand." "We all want to fall in love. Why? Because that experience makes us feel completely alive. Where every sense is heightened, every emotion is magnified, our everyday reality is shattered and we are flying into the heavens. It may only last a moment, an hour, an afternoon. But that doesn't diminish its value. Because we are left with memories that we treasure for the rest of our lives." "Relationships--of all kinds--are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost." "Truly loving another means letting go of all expectations. It means full acceptance, even celebration of another's personhood." "Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop." -- Anonymous "We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly." -- Anonymous "The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost." -- G. K. Chesterton "Where there is love there is life." -- Gandhi "We look forward to the time when the power to love of will replace the love of power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace." -- William Gladstone "The supreme happiness in life is the conviction that we are loved." -- Victor Hugo "To love someone deeply gives you strength. Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage." -- Lao Tzu "Absence diminishes small loves and increases great ones, as the wind blows out the candle and blows up the bonfire." -- François de La Rouchefoucauld "Love one another and you will be happy. It's as simple and as difficult as that." -- Michael Leunig "The heart has reasons that reason cannot know." -- Pascal "We cannot really love anybody with whom we never laugh." -- Agnes Repplier "And when the future hinges on the next words that are said, don't let logic interfere, believe your heart instead." -- Philip Robison "Love without reason lasts the longest." -- Unknown This was love at first sight, love everlasting: a feeling unknown, unhoped for, unexpected--in so far as it could be a matter of conscious awareness; it took entire possession of him, and he understood, with joyous amazement, that this was for life. We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person. Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames. A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy. There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness. Family love is messy, clinging, and of an annoying and repetitive pattern, like bad wallpaper. Love is a driver, bitter and fierce if you fight and resist him, We conceal it from ourselves in vain--we must always love something. In those matters seemingly removed from love, the feeling is secretly to be found, and man cannot possibly live for a moment without it. Love, free as air at sight of human ties, Love makes the time pass. Time makes love pass. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; Love sought is good, but given unsought, is better. The course of true love never did run smooth. They do not love that do not show their love. We cease loving ourselves if no one loves us. Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here. For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul. Men always want to be a woman's first love - women like to be a man's last romance. Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible - it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could. The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along. You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love. Love consists in desiring to give what is our own to another and feeling his delight as our own. The best feelings are those that have no words to describe them. I love you, not for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. A woman has got to love a bad man once or twice in her life, to be thankful for a good one. Love is, above all, the gift of oneself. Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable. It is best to love wisely, no doubt; but to love foolishly is better than not to be able to love at all. Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired. The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart. There is only one happiness in life: to love and be loved. Love is a little haven of refuge from the world. You love simply because you cannot help it. Love is the life of the soul. It is the harmony of the universe. The most precious possession that ever comes to a man in this world is a woman's heart. I have learned not to worry about love; But to honor its coming with all my heart. To love is to know the sacrifices which eternity exacts from life. You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly. Love is always bestowed as a gift -- freely, willingly, and without expectation... We don't love to be loved; we love to love. Real love stories never have endings. Men always want to be a woman's first love - women like to be a man's last romance. What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. The greatest thing you'll ever learn When you love someone, all your saved-up wishes start coming out. Love doesn't make the world go 'round; love is what makes the ride whorthwhile. Love builds bridges where there are none. Love is not a matter of counting the years ... But making the years count. Love and desire are the spirit’s wings to great deeds. A kiss can be a comma, a question mark, or an exclamation point. That's a basic spelling that every woman should know. The shell must break before the bird can fly. Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye. When your heart speaks, take good notes. Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. Music is the shorthand of emotion. It takes a minute to like someone, an hour to love someone, but a lifetime to forget someone. Happiness is not a goal, but a way of life.
