Gazing at a Distant Star

Annabel Lee

“For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea—
In her tomb by the sounding sea.”
—Edgar Allan Poe

Longing

“And ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.”—Kahlil Gibran

She Waits For Me

Of Sophia

“Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.”—Proverbs 4:6

Make Not a Bond of Love

“But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.”—Khalil Gibran

Love is a Free Gift

“Man depends on God for all things; God depends on man for one. Without Man’s love, God does not exist as God, only as creator, and love is the one thing no one, not even God Himself, can command. It is a free gift, or it is nothing. And it is most itself, most free, when it is offered in spite of suffering, of injustice, and of death.”—Dimensions of Job, Archibald MacLeish

I Was Not Afraid Anymore

“A kind of light spread out from her. And everything changed color. And the world opened out. And a day was good to awaken to. And there were no limits to anything. And the people of the world were good and handsome. And I was not afraid anymore.”― John Steinbeck

What is Done in Love is Done Well

I Started Looking for You

“The minute I heard my first love story, 
I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.
They're in each other all along.”
― Rumi

The Charms of a Woman

“When virtue and modesty enlighten her charms, the lustre of a beautiful woman is brighter than the stars of heaven, and the influence of her power it is in vain to resist.”—Akhenaten

What is Logic

“What truly is logic? Who decides reason? My quest has taken me to the physical, the metaphysical, the delusional, and back. I have made the most important discovery of my career—the most important discovery of my life. It is only in the mysterious equations of love that any logic or reasons can be found.”-From the Film A Beautiful Mind

On the Beloved

"...man can, through loving contemplation of the image he carries of his beloved, achieve fulfillment."—Viktor Frankl
