Life, Love and Quotes…….

In reading quotes on love today I realized a few things….

I am very choosey about my friends…
I am even meticulous about those I give my heart to.

I know this because I have a few but close friends, but many acquaintances. I have different types of love. Such as the love of family members is different then the love that I have for my friends, just as the love I had for my husband is different then the love I am developing for my current romantic interest.

Here are a few quotes that I Like.

To love deeply in one direction makes us more loving in all others.
Anne-Sophie Swetchine

To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970), Marriage and Morals (1929) ch. 19

Love is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone - but not the complete structure. It is much too pliable, too yielding.
Bette Davis (1908 - 1989)

All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon sand.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox, O Magazine, February 2004

I like the quotes listed above as well as the one on my page because it talks about the wonder of it and the fear that is associated with the complete openness. I realize now that while to my friends, family, and acquaintances I am an open book. That this open book even has hidden chapters that can only be read by someone who loves her.
