We shall then have joy without sorrow, and rest without weariness...Be of good cheer, Christian, the time is near, when God and thou shalt be near, and as near as thou canst well desire. Thou shalt dwell in his family.
And then we continued blissfully into this small but perfect piece of our forever.
Laughter is eternity if joy is real.
Life is one long jubilee.
To love abundantly is to live abundantly, and to love forever is to live forever.
It was heaven. Forget angels, forget St. Peter and glittering harpsichords. Heaven was a dance in the arms of one's true love.
If one lived for ever the joys of life would inevitably in the end lose their savour. As it is, they remain perennially fresh.
A fantasy can be equivalent to a paradise and if the fantasy passes, better yet, because eternal paradise would be very boring.
Tom and I will always be in our honeymoon phase.
twice I have lived forever in a smile
In default of inexhaustible happiness, eternal suffering would at least give us a destiny. But we do not even have that consolation, and our worst agonies come to an end one day.
No jealousy their dawn of love overcast, nor blasted were their wedded days with strife; each season looked delightful as it past, to the fond husband and the faithful wife.

It's a wonderful world when you have what you want at all times.
If you like someone, even if its 2 A.M. and you've just finished work, then you get that lovely feeling where you want to see them.
Eternity was in our lips and eyes, Bliss in our brows' bent; none our parts so poor But was a race of heaven.
For certainly there cannot be a higher pleasure than to think that we love and are beloved by the most amiable and best Being.
No more my heart shall sob or grieve. My days and nights dissolve in God's own Light. Above the toil of life, my soul is a Bird of Fire winging the Infinite.
I didn't know love until I had my daughter. I didn't know its bounds.
I'm looking forward to having one of those moments that will be immortal.
