Quotation of the Week (22/2010)

People said that you could fall in love at any stage in life – at eight, at eighteen, at eighty. And why not? The capacity to experience the other emotions did not wither; you could still feel anger, jealousy, distress and all the rest, however old you were. Love was in the same spectrum as these. And you could love anything, and anyone, whether or not the passion were returned.

For it was not into my ear that you whispered,
but into my heart.
It was not my lips you kissed,
but my soul.

Judy Garland

Meeting you was fate,

becoming your friend was a choice,

but falling in love with you

I had no control over.

Quotation of the Week (4/2010)

If instead of a gem, or even a flower,
we should cast the gift of a loving thought
into the heart of a friend,
that would be
giving as the angels give.

George MacDonald

(1824 - 1905)
