Singing oh no no
Let it go
Love can take your heart
Throw it out of control
Saying oh no no
Let it go

I pray through the storm

It must be sad to outlive aught we love.
GEORGE ELIOT
The Spanish Gypsy
Ah, love is a voyage with water and a star,
in drowning air and squalls of precipitate bran;
love is a war of lights in the lightning flashes,
two bodies blasted in a single burst of honey.
PABLO NERUDA
Morning XII
Since to be loved endures,
To love is wise.
ROBERT BRIDGES
Since to be Loved Endures
Once you love someone it's like cancer. It spreads and spreads until it eats you up.

Love is like the wild rose-briar;
Friendship like the holly-tree.
The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms,
But which will bloom most constantly?

CHRISTOPHER PAOLINI
Eragon
Love made you vulnerable; if you gave your heart to another, they could leave you or die.
JOHN TWELVE HAWKS
The Traveler
Love--what a volume in a word, an ocean in a tear,
A seventh heaven in a glance, a whirlwind in a sigh,
The lightning in a touch, a millennium in a moment,
What concentrated joy or woe in blest or blighted love!
For it is that native poetry springing up indigenous to Mind,
The heart's own-country music thrilling all its chords,
The story without an end that angels throng to hear,
The word, the king of words, carved on Jehovah's heart!
MARTIN FARQUHAR TUPPER
Proverbial Philosophy
Perfect love has a breath of poetry which can exalt the relations of the least-instructed human beings.
GEORGE ELIOT
Silas Marner
Love's language everywhere is known.

Nothing goes far which has not the wings of love to make it buoyant, so that it can fly.
HENRY WARD BEECHER
Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit
A woman findeth in her last lover much of her first love; but a man seeth his next-to-the-last love, alway.
GELETT BURGESS
The Maxims of Methuselah
If it is your time, love will track you down like a cruise missile.

Oh, my young friends, how delightful is the beginning of a love-business, and how undignified, sometimes, the end!
