“I was so sentimental about you I’d break any one’s heart for you. My, I was a damned fool. I broke my own heart, too. It’s broken and gone. Everything I believe in and everything I cared about I left for you because you were so wonderful and you loved me so much that love was all that mattered. Love was the greatest thing, wasn’t it?”

— Ernest Hemingway

“You strike me as a kind person. I hope your world is kind. By which I mean, I’ve heard we see the world not as it is but as we are. A saint sees a world of saints, a killer sees only murderers and victims.”

— Neil Gaiman

[books-n-quotes]

“Miss someone until they come back, or until you come back, until their absence in your life becomes something to be avoided at all costs. Miss them until you don’t have to anymore, until you’re reunited in your favorite booth in your favorite restaurant ordering your favorite meal, miss them until it feels like you never left. Or miss them until you can’t anymore, until the things you miss are identified and cataloged as things and not a person, until you figure out that easy company and long talks and unblinking, all-knowing eye contact will find you again the way they found you the first time. Miss someone until you don’t.”

— Stephanie Georgopulus, How To Miss Someone (via books-n-quotes)

“You can’t force love, I realized. It’s there or it isn’t. If it’s not there, you’ve got to be able to admit it. If it is there, you’ve got to do whatever it takes to protect the ones you love.”

— Richelle Mead, Frostbite (via books-n-quotes)

[books-n-quotes]

“Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.”

— Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov (via books-n-quotes)

“So here’s my question: when you lose the most important person to you in the entire world, where is all the love – love you never even knew you were capable of – supposed to go?”

— Ted Michael, Crash Test Love (via books-n-quotes)

“Sometimes, I feel the past and the future pressing so hard on either side that there’s no room for the present at all.”

— Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited (via books-n-quotes)

The thing about love is that it can break you at any moment. Sure, maybe you’re one of the few lucky ones and it will last forever, but for most of us, forever is a dream that we chase, like a hamster on a wheel. It seems to be right in front of us, but yet we can’t quite seem to grasp it.

Saying ‘I love you,’ when you first get married is easy. The honeymoon is beautiful, the restaurant and dessert missions are quite romantic, and the first year or so of getting to 'know’ eachother is really nice. But a couple of years down the line, we start to notice bad habits in one another and we start disliking things. It’s not cute to pick up his socks anymore. It’s no longer fun working overtime to fund her addiction to hand bags and make up, being the Muslim Romeo and Juliet gets boring, and changing the nappies takes its toll - suddenly there are arguments, fights, and cussing - and saying those 3 special words aren’t easy anymore. But that’s when Allah and His Messenger ﷺ want you to say those words.

If you’ve been through ups and downs, yelling and screaming - and you can still look at eachother and say, 'I love you’ then that’s a sign that you truly do love each other. Relationships that have lasted for many decades aren’t because of beauty or wealth or because they never fight. It’s because they went through smiles, tears, good times, bad times, wealth and poverty - and they still had the courage to continue and show, 'I love you!’

Shaykh Mohammad Aslam

“One day your heart will take you to your Lover. One day your soul will carry you to the Beloved. Don’t get lost in your pain, know that one day your pain will become your cure.”
