Lovely Phrases

Hello to everybody in TicosLand. I’m new by here, and I want to share few lovely phrases…

"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love." – Sophocles
"Love is like quicksilver in the hand. Leave the fingers open and it stays. Clutch it, and it darts away." - Dorothy Parker
"Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness." - Oliver Wendell Holmes
"Love is like war: Easy to begin but hard to end." – Anonymous
"To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down."
- Woody Allen





Chres,

More Love Quotes:

"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.
- Captain Corelli's Mandolin. "Love is the beauty of the soul."

--St. Augustine

Of course, there is another way to look at this. Here is another side of the coin for the TicosLand Costa Rica community and the world at large.

From the deepest desires often come the deadliest hate.
Socrates

We hate some persons because we do not know them; and will not know them because we hate them.

The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them; that's the essence of inhumanity.
