Quote of the Week: Joy of Late Love

Posted by: Suzanne | Comments (0)

This week’s quote was blatantly stolen off friend, Laurie’s, Facebook page. And, if you haven’t read her interview about getting married later in life, take a look.

The joy of late love is like green firewood when set aflame, for the longer the wait in lighting, the greater heat it yields and the longer its force lasts. ~Chretien de Troyes

Quote of the Week: Growing Roots

Posted by: Suzanne | Comments (0)

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being “in love” which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two. ~ St. Augustine, From the movie Captain Corelli’s Mandolin
