quotable (love) quotes

i still have a "hangover" from reading 'the powerbook' yesterday. here are some of the reasons why i think the book was wonderful. hmmm.. i really am into quotes these days (tsk tsk, kasalanan mo 'to, sam.. hehe). thought i'd share a couple of these with you.. :-)

hmmm. these quotes make me think again. no, they don't make me sad. but they do make me want to write lots of things again. hahaha. one of these days i'm going to write posts on each of these quotable quotes. not now, though.. 'coz i still have work to do hahaha :-p read on..

"the tamer my love, the farther away it is from love. in fierceness, in heat, in risk, i find something of love's nature. in my desire for you, i burn at the right temperature to walk through love's fire. so when you ask me why i cannot love you more calmly, i answer that to love you calmly is not to love you at all."

"love wounds. there is no love that does not pierce the hands and feet. love's exquisite happiness is also love's exquisite pain. i do not seek suffering but there is suffering. it is better not to flinch, not to try and avoid those things in love's direction. it is not easy, this love, but only the impossible is worth the effort."

"there's no effort which is not beautiful - lifting a heavy stone or loving you. loving you is like lifting a heavy stone. it would be easier not to do it and i'm not quite sure why i am doing it. it takes all my strength and all my determination, and i said i wouldn't love someone again like this. is there any sense in loving someone you can only wake up to by chance?"

"the end of love is a haunting. a haunting of dreams. a haunting of silence. haunted by ghosts it is easy to become a ghost. life ebbs. the pulse is too faint. nothing stirs you. some people approve of this and call it healing. it is not healing. a dead body feels no pain."

"the truth is that love smashes into your life like an ice floe, and even if your heart is built like the titanic you go down. that's the size of it, the immensity of it. it's not proper, it's not clean, it's not containable."
