J.R.R. Tolkien
I love you. I used to pity your sorrow. But now, were you sorrowless, without fear or any lack, still i would love you. J. R. R.
J.R.R. Tolkien
Their Oath shall drive them, and yet betray them, and ever snatch away the very treasures that they have sworn to pursue. J. R. R.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
His honour rooted in dishonor stood, and faith unfaithful kept him falsely true.
J.R.R. Tolkien
His house was perfect, whether you liked food, or sleep, or work, or story-telling, or singing, or just sitting and thinking, best, or a pleasant mixture of them all. J. R. R.
J.R.R. Tolkien
Nearly all marriages, even happy ones, are mistakes: in the sense that almost certainly (in a more perfect world, or even with a little more care in this very imperfect one) both partners might be found more suitable mates. But the real soul-mate is the one you are actually married to. J. R. R.
J.R.R. Tolkien
The Hobbits are just rustic English people, made small in size because it reflects the generally small reach of their imagination. J. R. R.
Henri de Régnier
It is well to write love letters. There are certain things for which it is not easy to ask your mistress face to face, like money for instance.
Arthur Waley
Golf is like a love affair. If you don't take it seriously, it's no fun; if you do take it seriously, it breaks your heart.
Stephen Hawking
Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.
Emily Jane Brontë
He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
If I had a flower for every time I thought of you...I could walk through my garden forever.
D.H. Lawrence
Love is the flower of life, and blossoms unexpectedly and without law, and must be plucked where it is found, and enjoyed for the brief hour of its duration.
Henri-Frédéric Amiel
Women wish to be loved without a why or a wherefore; not because they are pretty, or good, or well-bred, or graceful, or intelligent, but because they are themselves.
Flannery O'Connor
To expect too much is to have a sentimental view of life and this is a softness that ends in bitterness.
