love quotes, love songs, love movies- Mary's list

okay, here is MY LIST of quotes about love, some 'most romantic/best love' songs and a few movies too. its a very short list, esp the movies since i tend to run away from the hollywood traditional 'love' story.

PART ONE - quotes about LOVE

"Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor... Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting."
—Mother Teresa

"I love you for the part of me that you bring out."
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning

"Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver."
—Barbara DeAngelis

"For twas not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart
Twas not my lips you kissed
But my soul"
—Judy Garland

"Love is missing someone whenever you're apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in heart."
—Kay Knudsen

"Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new."
—Ursula K. Le Guin

"A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person."
—Mignon McLaughlin

"Draw a circle, not a heart, around the one you love because a heart can break but a circle goes on forever."
— Unknown

okay, i have a quirky sense of "love" stories - really, i run from, run screaming from them for the most part...

PART FOUR: my fav books about LOVE

Wuthering Heights
Little Women

ok, again, when i was growing up and an avid reader, can you say 'book worm'?, i tended towards the Stephen King - Dean Koontz section as well as J.R.R.Tolkein, Edgar Allen Poe, etc.... you get the picture

and my one of my favorite quotes on marriage, actually, part of the vows in Tim Burton's "The Corpse Bride" -

With this hand I will lift your sorrows. Your cup will never be empty, for I will be your wine. With this candle, I will light your way into darkness. With this ring, I ask you to be mine.
