The giddy haze is the best part of falling in love or even in like - I'm not feeling it right now but hope to feel it soon.

"Romance is the glamour which turns the dust of everyday life into a golden haze."

-Elinor Glyn

Anne Sexton

I'm not one to wear my heart on my sleeve, but I like this...

"As it has been said: Love and a cough cannot be concealed.  Even a small cough.  Even a small love."

-Anne Sexton

Cyrano de Bergerac

Because you always need to cross your "t"s and dot your "i"s...

"A kiss is a rosy dot over the "i" of loving."

-Cyrano de Bergerac

Nikki Giovanni

Apparently this woman and I share a birthday.  I also think I share her thoughts on love:

"We love because it's the only true adventure."

-Nikki Giovanni

Billy Joel

I hope this is true...

"In every heart there is a room / a sanctuary safe and strong / to heal the wounds from lovers past / until a new one comes along"

-"And So It Goes", Billy Joel

Washington Irving

I've been a little emotional lately and this reminds me that it's ok to feel like that - crying is not just the habit of a silly girl.

"There is a sacredness in tears.  They are not the mark of weakness, but of power.  They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues.  They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love."

-Washington Irving

Rose Franken

"Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly."

-Rose Franken

Jerome K. Jerome

Not only is this quote beautiful, its author shares my father's name not once but twice.

"Nothing is more beautiful than the love that has weathered the storms of life.  The love of the young for the young, that is the beginning of life.  But the love of the old for the old, that is the beginning of things longer."

-Jerome K. Jerome
