Quote of my life.

If you love somebody, let them go. If they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were

on the topic, recalls of me my favorite love quote:

1
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

2
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

3
If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

5
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

6
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

7
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

9
For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

10
but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.

11
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.

12
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13:1-13

it's from the bible but i maintain the book's got some good bits even if you don't go for the whole thing. i guess i'm a bit of an idealist but i really love that quote and generally believe it.

I too am an idealist.
Perhaps.
There is often an air of confusion surrounding all I feel, questioning, seeking, badgering me to relinquish everything and crawl away, and another part offering a flaming sword and commanding great feats of courage and valour...
So I write poetry.
Truth Beauty Freedom Love
And above all else Love

I never thought hollywood would offer up such a great concept, but Baz isn't really hollywood.

Oh there are great things written in the strangest places.


And hey you! Text me so I can get your number! Sorry I had to run away, there was a traing thing to catch (or actually not so much as it transpired, but hey)
