Love quotes, writings and poems

Everyone knows perfect love in their heart, for the human heart is a direct channel through which absolute love pours into this world. At the same time, human relationships are imperfect expressions of that love. This creates a painful gap between the perfect love we know in our hearts and the imperfect, incomplete ways it is expressed in our relationships.

When we imagine that relative human love should be something it is not - absolutely unconditional - we suffer disappointment and wind up distrusting love itself. We also hold grievances against others for not loving us rightly or against ourselves for not having won that love.

This gives rise to a universal human wound -- the sense of not feeling loved for who we are. - Taken from Perfect love, imperfect relantionships

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; loving someone deeply gives you courage.

Perfect love is rare indeed - for to be a lover will require that you continually have the subtlety of the very wise, the flexibility of the child, the sensitivity of the artist, the understanding of the philosopher, the acceptance of the saint, the tolerance of the scholar and the fortitude of the certain.

The minute I heard my first love story
I started looking for you,
not knowing how blind that was.

Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.
They're in each other all along

One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter.

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.

A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love.

In Spanish:

Tan sencilla;
     el agua de mi ducha en mi bano,
     no caliente, no fria, solo el roce de
     agua corriendo, cubriendo mi cuerpo.

Tan tontita;
     la cortina de la ducha toca
     mi pantorilla y yo deseando que
     fuese la palma de su mano.

Tan tiernamente;
     el agua lava el jabón de mi cara
     y yo abro mis ojos.

Tan profundamente;
     yo siento la vibracion de su
     cuerpo en el agua.

Tan claramente;
     yo veo su cara en el turqués
     azulejo en mi ducha.

Tan sencilla;
     lo deseo y estoy solamente.

In English:

So simply;
     the water in my shower in my bathroom,
     not hot, not cold, just the brushing of
     the running water, covering my body.

So foolishly;
     the shower curtain touches
     my calf and I wish that
     it was the palm of his hand.

So tenderly;
     the water washes the soap from my face
     and I open my eyes.

So deeply;
     I feel the vibration of his
     body in the water.

So clearly;
     I see his face in the turquoise
     blue in my shower.

So simply;
     I desire him and I'm alone.

If you love somebody, let them go.
If they return, they were always yours.
If they don't, they never were.

You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her.

Red sails (a Russian tale)

Red sails, photo by Anna G.

Red sails, a symbol of hope.
It was Alexander Grin, a Russian writer who lived during the Russian Revolution, who gave them this good omen meaning.
Red sails, just like the title of his novel, Assol and her red sail dream's story.

"When Assol was nothing but a child she lived with her father in a house near the sea.
Her father used to make little models of ships and sell them at the town market.
One day he decided to make a little model for her daughter, but while he was going to put sails on it, he found out that all the white material was finished. How could he finish the little ship for his adored daughter? He thought and thought, then he found out a red material and decided to use it.
