On Love (II)

David, the first Jew said: "Love is born in the brain".

The second Jew, Jesus, said: "Love comes from the heart."

The third Jew, Marx, said: "Love goes through the stomach."

The forth Jew, Freud, said: "Love is in the sexuality".

Then the fifth Jew, Einstein, came and said "It's all relative".

Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

"Now I was sitting waiting wishing
That you believed in superstitions
Then maybe you'd see the signs...
But Lord knows that this world is cruel,
And I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool
Learning loving somebody don't make them love you.

Must I always be waiting waiting on you?
Must I always be playing playing your fool?"

The Heart Is An Organ Of Fire

"July 1936
There are betrayals in war that are childlike compared with our human betrayals during peace. The new lover enters the habits of the other. Things are smashed, revealed in new light. This is done with nervous or tender sentences, although the heart is an organ of fire.
A love story is not about those who lose their heart but about those who find that sullen inhabitant who, when it is stumbled upon, means the body can fool no one, can fool nothing - not the wisdom of sleep or the habit of social graces. It is a consuming of oneself and the past."

(Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient)

Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me

"You DO know what you're doing,
Babe, it must be ART..."

Relationships

Relationships:
There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just FABULOUS.

Truth/Something Beautiful?

'I can be who you want me to be
But do you want me?'

Best of Wishes!

Best of wishes to those two who join their destinies today!
Just hope one day I'll be this lucky!
Yeah, love is in the air!

Now... let's party! :)

On Love

"Every fall into love involves the triumph of hope over self-knowledge. We fall in love hoping we won't find in another what we know is in ourselves, all the cowardice, weakness, laziness, dishonesty, compromise, and stupidity. We throw a cordon of love around the chosen one and decide that everything within will somehow be free of our faults. We locate inside another a perfection that eludes us within ourselves, and through our union with the beloved hope to maintain (against the evidence of all self-knowledge) a precarious faith in our species."

(Alain de Botton, On Love)

Feel Like Makin' Love

'Baby, when I think about you
I think about love.
Darlin, couldn't live without you
And your love.

If I had those golden dreams of my yesterday
I would wrap you
In the heavens
And feel it dyin (dyin, dyin) all the way'

Shiver

'So I look in your direction
But you pay me no attention, do you?
I know you don't listen to me
'Cause you say you see straight through me, don't you?
But on and on
From the moment I wake, to the moment I sleep
I'll be there by your side; just you try and stop me
I'll be waitin' in line, just to see if you care.
And it's you I see but you don't see me
And it's you I hear so loud and so clear
I sing it loud and clear...
Don't you shiver'

Dream A Little Dream Of Me

'Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me'

Everybody Deserves Clean Water

'It’s a funny thing about the modern world. You hear the girls in the toilets of clubs saying, ‘Yeah, he fucked off and left me. He didn’t love me. He just couldn’t deal with love. He was too fucked up to know how to love me.’
Now, how did that happen? What was it about this unlovable century that convinced us we were, despite everything, eminently lovable as a people, as a species? What made us think that anyone who fails to love us is damaged, lacking, malfunctioning in some way? And particularly if they replace us with a god, or a weeping madonna, or the face of Christ in a ciabatta roll - then we call them crazy. We are so convinced of the goodness of ourselves, and the goodness of our love, we cannot bear to believe that there might be something more worthy of love than us, more worthy of worship. Greetings cards routinely tell us everybody deserves love. No. Everybody deserves clean water. NOT EVERYBODY DESERVES LOVE AT ALL TIME.'

(Zadie Smith, White Teeth)
