To quote you..

I've been reading some poetry and quotes and things the past few days on different blogs and in articles. Here are a few that I really liked. Many of them pertain to the Valentine season.

"Like a rose can be preserved for many years without losing it's color, so a
letter saves deep thoughts and earnest prayers for years and retains the sweet
fragrance of the moment they were written." ~ someone I don't know


"There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything
and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to
make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no-one... Wrap it
carefully around with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock
it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket—safe,
dark, motionless, airless—it will change. It will not be broken; it will become
unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least
to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside heaven where you
can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is
hell." ~ C.S. Lewis

Wait um.. well that's it! Hope you enjoyed them!
