- Love is temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is.

I am telling you some truths. That's just being "in love," which any fool can do. Love, itself, is what's leftover when being in love has burned away. This is both an art and a fortunate accident.

When your heart is broken, you plant seeds in the cracks and you pray for rain. And you teach your sons and daughters there are sharks in the water, but the only way to survive is to breathe deep and dive. -Dive by Andrea Gibson
