George MacDonald Quotes

MUSIC I heard with you was more than music, And bread I broke with you was more than bread. Now that I am without you, all is desolate, All that was once so beautiful is dead. Your hands once touched this table and this silver,And I have seen your fingers hold this glass. These things do not remember you, beloved: And yet your touch upon them will not pass. For it was in my heart you moved among them,And blessed them with your hands and with your eyes.And in my heart they will remember always: They knew you once, O beautiful and wise!

i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows

Our hours in love have wings; in absence, crutches.

someone's sent a loving note in lines of returning geese and as the moon fills my western chamber as petals dance over the flowing stream again I think of you the two of us living a sadness apart a hurt that can't be removed yet when my gaze comes down my heart stays up

When you’re in love, it’s not just about the messing around in the sack, it’s about how empty you feel when they’re gone.

I guess that's why they call it the blues, time on my hands could be time spent with you.

You can love someone so much...But you can never love people as much as you can miss them.

Love- what is love? A great and aching heart; Wrung hands; and silence; and a long despair

I fell in love with her when we were together, then fell deeper in love with her in the years we were apart.

There is such sweet pain in parting that I could hang forever on thine arms, and look away my life into thine eyes.

Love of my life, I love you so. Love of my life, don't ever go.

There is nothing on earth more beautiful to me than your smile...no sound sweeter than your laughter...no pleasure greater than holding you in my arms. I realized today that I could never live without you, stubborn little hellion that you are. In this life and the next, you’re my only hope of happiness. Tell me, Lillian, dearest love...how can you have reached so far inside my heart?

I think of you, I dream of you, I conjure you up when I need you most. This is all I can do, but to me it isn't enough. It will never be enough, this I know; yet what else is there for me to do? If you were here, you would tell me, but I have been cheated of even that. You always knew the proper words to ease the pain I felt. You always knew how to make me feel good inside.

This is love, she thought, isn't it? When you notice someone's absence and hate that absence more than anything? More, even, than you love his presence?

I love you, he thought, looking at Win. I love every part of you, every thought and word...the entire complex, fascinating bundle of all the things you are. I want you with ten different kinds of need at once. I love all the seasons of you, the way you are now, the thought of how much more beautiful you'll be in the decades to come. I love you for being the answer to every question my heart could ask.

It isn't possible to love and to part.

Also I wanted to be able to love And we all know how that one goes, don't we? Slowly

Love's lengthways splits the heart in two - the heart where you are, the heart where you want to be.

There's no ifs and buts or maybes, you're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my loving.

I loved you: and, it may be, from my soul The former love has never gone away, But let it not recall to you my dole; I wish not sadden you in any way. I loved you silently, without hope, fully, In diffidence, in jealousy, in pain; I loved you so tenderly and truly, As let you else be loved by any man.

If you no longer live, if you my beloved, my love, if you have died, all the leaves will fall in my breast, it will rain in my soul night and day, the snow will burn my heart, I shall walk with frost and fire and death and snow, my feet will want to walk to where you are sleeping, but I shall live

My heart wont let you go, and I need you to know, I miss you.

Everything around me makes me miss you.

When someone is in your heart, they're never truly gone. They can come back to you, even at unlikely times.
