sweet love quotes for your boyfriend
True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked. ~Erich Segal
You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities and vain pretenses of your civilization which makes you sad, troubled and unbalanced. In that intolerable conflict you lose all joy of life and all feeling of personality, because at every moment they suppress and restrain and check the free play of your powers. That's the poisoned and mortal wound of the civilized world. ~"The Mission," Chapter 8
It is not difficult to deceive the first time, for the deceived possesses no antibodies; unvaccinated by suspicion, she overlooks lateness, accepts absurd excuses, permits the flimsiest patching to repair great rents in the quotidian. ~John Updike
If you mess up, 'fess up. ~Author Unknown
Love is the self-delusion we manufacture to justify the trouble we take to have sex. ~Dan Greenburg

A husband only worries about a particular Other Man; a wife distrusts her whole species. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic's Notebook, 1966
Sherman made the terrible discovery that men make about their fathers sooner or later... that the man before him was not an aging father but a boy, a boy much like himself, a boy who grew up and had a child of his own and, as best he could, out of a sense of duty and, perhaps love, adopted a role called Being a Father so that his child would have something mythical and infinitely important: a Protector, who would keep a lid on all the chaotic and catastrophic possibilities of life. ~Tom Wolfe, The Bonfire of the Vanities
Long A: The Quote Garden began in 1987 when I was 13 years old and read The Scarlet Letter. As I was reading, I noticed some sentences that I really liked and wrote them on a notepad as I went along. And that is where my passion for quotations began. From then on I obsessively wrote down any short excerpts I liked and kept my collection on paper and in WordStar for CP/M as well as turning my favorites into amateur mini-posters and taping them to my bedroom walls. In early 1998 I began sharing my collection with the world by starting a site on GeoCities and learning HTML. Both the site and my obsession for quotes grew quickly with this new platform for sharing. I moved to quotegarden.com in 2001 and continue to this very day maintaining the site by typing every quote and piece of code from scratch into Notepad, and carrying paper and pen with me everywhere I go in case I see anything quotable! Believe it or not, I have yet to finish placing my entire collection online, there are still thousands of quote-scribbled scraps of paper here and there, torn-edged articles with highlighting, etc which I will eventually get around to posting.

I'm always amazed to hear of air crash victims so badly mutilated that they have to be identified by their dental records. What I can't understand is, if they don't know who you are, how do they know who your dentist is? ~Paul Merton
Capital punishment is as fundamentally wrong as a cure for crime as charity is wrong as a cure for poverty. ~Henry Ford
Enslave the liberty of but one human being and the liberties of the world are put in peril. ~William Lloyd Garrison
I often derive a peculiar satisfaction in conversing with the ancient and modern dead, - who yet live and speak excellently in their works. My neighbors think me often alone, - and yet at such times I am in company with more than five hundred mutes - each of whom, at my pleasure, communicates his ideas to me by dumb signs - quite as intelligently as any person living can do by uttering of words. ~Laurence Sterne
Before we set our hearts too much on anything, let us examine how happy are those who already possess it. ~Francois Duc de La Rochefoucauld
