I’ve been on a search for quotes about love. I plan to gather one each week for us to ponder. Here the first of a couple quotes about love I discovered (more to come in subsequent weeks!)
Quotes About Love: On Kissing
Writing kisses can be challenging for me. I have to be in the right frame of mind to get the kissing scenes right. It’s ironic that the one thing which Ingrid Bergman identifies as special about a kiss is also the thing that makes it tough for me as a writer. Kisses are wordless (and rightfully so), but somehow I have to transpire that kiss on the page!
Still, when I get that kissing scene right, I cannot keep my hands off the keyboard. I have to finish it. I remember the first time this happened to me as a writer. I was sitting in a coffee shop typing away, bored by the scene…until they kissed. Writing the scene felt like riding a roller coaster. As soon as the characters locked lips, the words flowed fast and furious. It was definitely a writing session I’ll never forget.
Quotes About Love: The Face of Your Love
Have you ever loved someone so deeply that you can close your eyes and imagine every line and curve of their face? Every scar and feature? I think it’s lovely when this happens. I can close my eyes and remember my husband’s face perfectly: coffee bean complexion, espresso colored eyes, dark, thick eyelashes. I have to admit, I am jealous of his eyelashes. No man should have eyelashes as beautiful as his, but I guess that’s why they invented mascara for the ladies 🙂
So those are my quotes about love for this week. What favorite quotes about love have touched your heart?
