“It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations.”
Khalil Gibran
“It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations”
Kahlil Gibran
“I love songs about horses, railroads, land, Judgment Day, family, hard times, whiskey, courtship, marriage, adultery, separation, murder, war, prison, rambling, damnation, home, salvation, death, pride, humor, piety, rebellion, patriotism, larceny, determination, tragedy, rowdiness, heartbreak and love. And Mother. And God.”
Johnny Cash
“We sit and talk, and kiss away the hours as chastely as the morning dews kiss flowers: I touch her, like my beads, with devout care, and come unto my courtship as my prayer.”
Thomas Randolph
“TRUTH plus LOVE equals TRUE LOVE. You can't get any simpler and better explanation than this.”
Ebenezer Olasunkanmi Akinrinade (CYFI Fellow)
“We leave a part of us at every break up, try tearing a pinch of flesh out of your arms, it hurts as much. Courtship isn't merely a game, it's friendship at its most intimate level. Don't play with it, else we'll have nothing left of us but brokenness, that devastates a person for the rest of his/her life. - Joash Mock Kar Wai”
Seymour Nightweaver
“There is a rhythm to the ending of a marriage just like the rhythm of a courtship /only backward. You try to start again but get into blaming over and over. Finally you are both worn out, exhausted, hopeless. Then lawyers are called in to pick clean the corpses. The death has occurred much earlier.”
Erica Jong
