“Anytime you feel love for anything, be it stone, tree, lover, or child, you are touched by the Goddess's magick…”

“To Love is to reach God.
Never will a Lover's chest
feel any sorrow.
Never will a Lover's robe
be touched by mortals.
Never will a Lover's body
be found buried in the earth.
To Love is to reach God.”

Rumi (1207–1273) Iranian poet

“Remember, we're madly in love, so it‘s all right to kiss me anytime you feel like it.”

Suzanne Collins The Hunger Games

“Turn soft and lovely anytime you have the chance.”

Jenny Holzer (1950) American conceptual artist

“If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to.
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you.”

Leonard Cohen (1934–2016) Canadian poet and singer-songwriter

“"You have loved enough, now let me be the lover." You could say that God is speaking to you or the cosmos, or your lover. It just means, like, Forget it. Lean back and be loved by all that is already loving you. It is your effort at love that is preventing you from experiencing it. It is like if you ever taught kids how to swim. The most difficult thing is Goddam to understand that they will float, if they relax, if they hold their breath and relax, they will actually float. For most kids it is difficult to swim. They feel they are going to sink like a stone to the bottom of the lake.”

Leonard Cohen (1934–2016) Canadian poet and singer-songwriter

“You think I'm not a goddess?
Try me.
This is a torch song.
Touch me and you'll burn.”

Margaret Atwood (1939) Canadian writer

“And if You look, You look through Me. And when You talk, You talk at Me. And when I touch You, You don't feel anything”

Bono (1960) Irish rock musician, singer of U2

“Can believe it, like no other,
love is a gift and you take it so much!
You need the blue night to discover
only true lovers have the magic touch.”

Mike Oldfield (1953) English musician, multi-instrumentalist

“Life is short. Short, and not about anything except what you can touch and what touches you.”

Woody Allen (1935) American screenwriter, director, actor, comedian, author, playwright, and musician
