Quotes about lovers

A collection of quotes on the topic of lovers.

„Have you ever fed a lover
With just your hands?
Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it.
Have you ever thrown
A fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face,
And said I just don't care?“

— Pink (singer) American singer-songwriter 1979
Glitter in the Air, written by Pink, Billy Mann and Michele Mears

Fear

„This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.“

— Marilyn Monroe American actress, model, and singer 1926 - 1962

lover you should have come over-“

— Jeff Buckley American singer, guitarist and songwriter 1966 - 1997

Kiss

„I feel there is sensuality... eroticism in the primary things that move, like animals and insects. Being able to inspire the movement to still images... gives me the joy of the creator that breathes life into things that do not have life. The movement must be sufficiently round and sweet... so express its eroticism. In creating cartoons I always think of an ideal, but... half the finish to doubt the rightness of what I'm doing. So I put all my expectations always work next. * * [... ] I often say jokingly that comics are my true wife and that the cartoons are my lover. The fact that I am fully dedicated to animation, my lover... is because it allows me to express in a sublime... the interesting metamorphosis of a changing body. For me, the greatest fun, no doubt, lies in the draw and give movement to change processes. Always look in my cartons this metamorphosis.“

— Osamu Tezuka Japanese cartoonist and animator 1928 - 1989
From Interview to the author , in Osamu Tezuka, Jumping ; quoted in AA.VV., Osamu Tezuka: A Manga Biography , vol. 4, translated by Marta Fogato, Coconino Press, Bologna, 2001, p. 178.
