- F.Scott Fitzgerald
I really hope you liked those ! Let me know your favourite in the comments and what you think defines loves in..... 10 words ! That should be an interesting challenge hehe :) I'd also love to know if any of you have read any of F.Scott Fitzgeralds books and if you have which would you recommend ? I'm reading The Great Gatsby at the minute and absolutely LOVING it, wayyyy more than I expected to !
Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)
Lots of love, Marianne xxx
Aww those are beautiful! There are nothing better than quotes about love, because there is nothing better than love. I absolutely love the first F. Scott Fitzgerald one! This post made me really happy!

Aww you're completely right, looking for the quotes for this post made my heart all fuzzy :) He really is amazing ! I'm glad it made you happy !
Deletelots of love, Marianne xxx
Such a sweet post, Marianne! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a challenge, indeed! The whole world is filled with love quotes (what could be better!) so at the moment, I can't possibly choose just one. I do believe love is a little bit different for everybody, and a little bit different for every relationship. I'm gonna go with the Beatles' classic: "All you need is love." :)
And yes, the Great Gatsby is a huge classic! I'm sure you're gonna enjoy it for years to come :)

Thank you Lor ! I thought people might struggle hehe ;) You're completely right, it's never the same but The Beatles definitely got it right ! I'm absolutely loving it , I've only got thirty pages to go :)

Love is complete honesty and trust. LOL that's my idea of it anyway. I LOVE F. Scott Fitzgerald, he's been one of my favorites for a long time. This side of Paradise is really good. I love the quote by Monica Drake as I am really into Buddhism and the Dr. Seuss one is amazing! Love these posts! I hope you are having a fantastic week my beautiful friend! XO -Kim
ReplyDeleteI think you've pretty much got it down perfectly their :) I'm really enjoying The Great Gatsby and only have 30 pages to go so will definitely go and get This Side Of Paradise when I'm finished :) That's one of my favourites I think it does a good job of separated love and a crush <3

These are all so beautiful :') I can't decide on just one! But I really love the one about "The Buddhists say..." I feel like the buddhists just have so many wise things to say! Also I adore, "We are all a little weird and life's a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love." Ahhh! I'm a romantic too haha so everyone of these had me feeling some kind of way haha. The one that you said reminds you of your boyfriend is so cute :'). Your relationship sounds so cute! I hope you guys are in mutual weirdness together haha :'D. To describe love in 10 words :O is so hard! How does one describe love, I feel like it is better explained felt then to be spoken. But if I had to sum it up (although I should say that I've never been in love, but this is what I think love is). I feel like love is unexplainable, the person leaves you speechless, you don't know how to express your love to anyone else but to them. You feel safe and secure, warm and protected, and complete. You are able to be yourself but one at the same time. Okay so maybe I cheated a little and said more then 10 words but I just couldn't haha. I still feel like I should add more in there to explain myself haha but I'll leave it at that. I hope you're having a wonderful day Marianne and thanks for sharing your favorite quotes with us :) <3

The Buddhist one has always really stuck me as a definition of love not infatuation, it just feels so real :) Dr Suess is definitely something special and I can't get enough of his quotes ( There will be a quotes post of just his quotes up in the very near future )
Deleteand thank you hehe, me and my boyfriend definitely share a mutual weirdness aha and I wouldn't have it any other way :) I thought this might be a tough challenge so I'll forgive you for cheating slightly because I think you completely got the definition pretty much perfect, secure is definitely something you should always feel in any relationship ( romantic or not ) because if you're not feeling safe and comfortable then how could you be happy :) I hope you have a great week honey :)

ReplyDeleteI love love love this post! I adore reading love quotes and I think Fitzgerald was amazing at describing love. My favorite one you posted is
ReplyDelete" I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity and her flaming self respect. And it's these things I'd believe in even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn't all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything."

Awww I'm so glad you liked it ! They're really lovely, Fitzgerald describes love in a way that most other authors never quite manage :) That is a really lovely one :)
DeleteLots of love, Marianne xxx
Awwww these are so beautiful Marianne! Love is one of the most incredible things to experience and seeing how these different writers have experienced it and turned it round in their mind to bring out such spectacular pieces of prose is breathtaking! :D so many of my favourite writers here! xx

They really are :) It is something very beautiful and it always melts my heart to see how these writers have felt love and even though it's such an individual thing , somebody always relates to it :) I'm so so glad you enjoyed the post :)

F. Scott Fitzgerald has a lot to say about love & I can see why. His words really struck a chord with me. I love that first quote of his. :]

His words are always very beautiful, for me that's what makes his books so enjoyable to read :)

The Dr Seuss quote is amazing! I love posts like this because I like reading everyones reactions to the quotes you choose and which ones are peoples favourites :)

It's a lovely quote ! It is really nice to see how everybody else sees love and which authors they relate to :)

woopsy daisy hehe ;) Thank you Rainbow, were very happy together :) I like the Lemony Snicket one, I think it takes love down to such a simplistic level so that everybody can relate and understand it <3 Crystal really does but then Crystal is amazing with words ( You already know that from her blog hehe ) she could make anything sound perfect ! You're so right about having respect and trust :) It really is relating to somebody on a soul level ! Thank you so much, your comments always make me smile <3
