Graham Greene Quotes

When you don't have to say 'I love you,' when you don't have to prove your love by singing a song, or express it through the body, that's two souls connecting.

Love is when you don't have to be with another person to touch their heart!

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

Lovers who love truly do not write down their happiness.

The intimacy. The deepest level of love. The knowledge that someone understands you, is rooting for you, is sharing your life.

For the introvert, conversation can be a very limited forum for self expression. When a song moves you, a writer gets you or a theory enlightens you, you and its creator are connecting in a realm beyond sight or speech.

In contrast, compassion manifests in us as the offering of kindness rather than withdrawal. Because compassion is a state of mind that is itself open, abundant and inclusive, it allows us to meet pain more directly. With direct seeing, we know that we are not alone in our suffering and that no one need feel alone when in pain. Seeing our oneness is the beginning of compassion, and it allows us to reach beyond aversion and separation.

If one wishes to know love, one must live love, in action.

The wedlocks of minds will be greater than that of bodies.

A father who finds it difficult to express his love vocally for his children may need, at first, to be humbly obedient in holding family home evenings in order to help him to discover, or to increase, his appreciation for his children. Next can come to him the courage to say I love you to each one.

Solitude does not necessarily mean living apart from others; rather, it means never living apart from one's self. It is not about the absence of other people -- it is about being fully present to ourselves, whether or not we are with others. Community does not necessarily mean living face-to-face with others; rather, it means never losing the awareness that we are connected to each other. It is not about the presence of other people -- it is about being fully open to the reality of relationship, whether or not we are alone.

My love for you tonight is so deep and tender that it seems to be outside myself as well.

I wish I could be whole for you…I wish I could hold you and dance with you, take you in my arms and make love to you the way I want to. (Adron) And I’m just grateful I have you at all. It’s not your body or face that I love, Adron. It’s your heart, your soul, and your mind. (Livia)

The fact was I loved my wife to a degree that I found impossible to express, and so rarely did.

I love you much most beautiful darling more than anyone on the earth and I like you better than everything in the sky.

It's not till sex has died out between a man and a woman that they can really love. And now I mean affection. Now I mean to be fond of (as one is fond of oneself) --to hope, to be disappointed, to live inside the other heart.

I had to touch you with my hands, I had to taste you with my tongue; one can't love and do nothing.

Thoughtfulness is like a glue that hold a married couple together. Be creative and consistent in finding thoughtful ways to show your spouse that you love them and they are always on your mind.

Rather than someone that i can't take my eyes off, I want to find someone that I can't take my heart off

I love this race from the very depths of my heart. It gives me motivation and it transcendsme like nothing else in the world.

I've always painted pictures in which human love floods my colors.

I believe that the experience of love is the most human and humanizing act that it is given to man to enjoy and that it, like reason, makes no sense if conceived in a partial way.

Can such stiff and formal moldings as words capture the spirit-essence of love?

Music should be like making love. Sometimes you want it soft and tender, another time you want it hard and aggressive.

i like my body when it is with your body. It is so quite new a thing. Muscles better and nerves more. i like your body. i like what it does, i like its hows. i like to feel the spine of your body and its bones, and the trembling -firm-smooth ness and which i will again and again and again kiss, i like kissing this and that of you, i like, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes over parting flesh ... And eyes big love-crumbs, and possibly i like the thrill of under me you so quite new.
