Love Scene


"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
-St. Augustine

i just died over this quote... i literally started tearing up at work and had to immediately repost it (and direct all my readers back to you, of course!) - isn't it amazing when you hear words that just speak to you at exactly the right time? thank you thank you and have a lovely day! :)

I love this post. I have a similar forward on my email that I saved long time ago. It says something about the difference of loving and being in love. I wouldn't be surprised if they got it from this. But yeah, amazing :)
