“Our love was driving 200 km/h down the highway. Nights of passion. It was laughing until our stomachs hurt and balancing on the rooftop when the wind threatened to blow us off. Desperate. Passionate. All at once. But that’s not what I fell in love with. I fell in love because you’re first reaction when we were in danger of crashing was to hold me back, with how careful and nervous you were with my body. I fell in love with the way you smiled when you thought I wasn’t looking, the way you always insisted on walking on the outer edge, so that I’d never be the first to fall. I fell in love with all the small ways you love me.”— tara love / i could write a book and it wouldn’t be enough

“There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket – safe, dark, motionless, airless – it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell.”— C. S. Lewis (b. 29 Nov 1898), The Four Loves
“Heaven on Earth is a choice you must make, not a place you must find.”— Wayne Dyer
