Love is the magician that pulls man out of his own hat.
You listen to me. I’ve been alive a bit longer than you, and dead a lot longer than that. I’ve seen things you couldn’t imagine, and done things I prefer you didn’t. Don’t exactly have a reputation for being a thinker. I’ve only my blood, which doesn’t exactly rush in the direction of my brain, so I make a lot of mistakes, a lot of wrong, bloody calls. A hundred plus years, and there’s only one thing I’ve ever been sure of - you. Hey, look at me. I’m not asking you for anything. When I say I love you, it’s not because I want you, or because I can’t have you, and it has nothing to do with me. I love what you are. What you do. How you try. I’ve seen your kindness and your strength. I’ve seen the best and the worst of you, and I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You are a hell of a woman. You’re the one, Buffy.
What I need to live has been given to me by the earth. Why I need to live has been given to me by you.
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is youhere is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars aparti carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
The Eskimos had fifty-two names for snow because it was important to them: there ought to be as many for love.
BRIDGET JONES: You seem to go out of your way to try to make me feel like a complete idiot every time I see you, and you really needn’t bother. I already feel like an idiot most of the time anyway, with or without the fireman’s pole. [buzz] That’ll be my taxi. Goodnight.
MARK DARCY: Look, um, I’m sorry if I’ve been…
BRIDGET JONES: What?
MARK DARCY: I don’t think you’re an idiot at all. I mean, there are elements of the ridiculous about you. Your mother’s pretty interesting. And you really are an appallingly bad public speaker, and um, you tend to let whatever’s in your head come out of your mouth without much consideration of the consequences. I realize that when I met you at the turkey/curry buffet that I was unforgivably rude and wearing a reindeer jumper that my mother had given me the day before. But the thing is, what I’m trying to say, very inarticulately, is that um, in fact, perhaps, despite appearances, I like you. Very much.
BRIDGET JONES: Ah, apart from the smoking, and the drinking, and the vulgar mother, and the verbal diarrhea…
MARK DARCY: No, I like you very much. Just as you are.
- from Bridget Jones’s Diary
Ultimately, we wish the joy of perfect union with the person we love.
A life without love is no life at all.
What is life without the radiance of love?
Take away love, and our earth is a tomb.
