Well, you see I was at the mall recently and I saw all sorts of cute asian stationary. You know, the type with the adorable little asian girls that play every sport known to man and look CUTE while doing it? The type with all the little cartoon-ish character. Well, I noticed that they have really sweet quotes at the bottom, in really bad english but what can you expect? My question to you: What are your favorite love quotes? An example: “The course of true love never did run smooth” Lysander, A Midsummer Night’s Dream Thanks in advance. Kitty ---

Here are some of my favs… “The more you love, the more you can love - and the more intensely you love. Nor is there any limit on how many you can love. If a person had enough time, he could love all of that majority who are decent and just.” - Robert A. Heinlein You never lose by loving, you lose by holding back. Someone loves you far more then you know with a love that keeps growing as days come and go. Somebody needs you to make life worthwhile… Needs your warm touch and the joy of your smile. I don’t want to lose you, I could never make it alone. I am the man who will fight for your honor, I’ll be the hero your dreaming of, we’ll live forever. growing together and we did it all for the glory of love. “Love doesn’t make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.” - Franklin P. Jones FYI the ones without names by them I have no clue who said them. ---
