In the end what will prevail is your passion not your tale, for love is the Holy Grail.
The trouble with you is that the only way you can communicate is through art. You’ve never learned to communicate your feelings to a man. You don’t even want to communicate in a relationship. You think that if you open up to love, you’ll lose your independence or your self-expression or creativity or whatever you call all that passionate, wonderful stuff that makes you feel alive inside.
The only question is how to make love stay.
Dreamily the Princess stood up. "I'm not sure if I can walk," she said. "Then I'll carry you." "Is that what love is?" "I no longer know what love is. A week ago I had a lot of ideas. What love is and how to make it stay. Now that I'm in love, I haven't a clue. Now that I'm in love, I'm completely stupid on the subject.
Who knows how to make love stay? Tell love you are going to the Junior's Deli on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn to pick up a cheesecake, and if love stays, it can have half.
Love is dope, not chicken soup.
There is only one serious question. And that is: Who knows how to make love stay? Answer me that and I will tell you whether or not to kill yourself.
Laughter is holier than piety, freedom is sweeter than fame, and in the end it's love and love alone that really matters.
Love is the ultimate outlaw.
The highest function of love is that it makes the loved one a unique and irreplacable being.
Love is very powerful, but it has limits and it's a costly mistake to spread it too thin.
Love is the ultimate outlaw. It just won't adhere to any rules. The most any of us can do is sign on as its accomplice.
Eighty percent of love is smell.
Never be afraid to love, not even when there's a chance you're not being loved in return.
