I like it. It's short but sweet, and has all the meaning in the world.

It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all - this is my all time favourite quote.

I have a discussion about this.... and I truly believe in this quote too. Love can make things possible but it can also break a person.

I'm a big Douglas Adams fan and love the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. I love the humourous descriptions and dialogue in the books. Things like: "The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't." I also love P G Wodehouse and his Jeeves and Wooster novels. My favourite quote from him is: "It is never difficult to distinguish between a Scotsman with a grievance and a ray of sunshine."

i like the tone and playful air in both quotes. they both made me use my imagination, then made me grin.

My favorite quote by far comes out of a commen zen saying: Barn burnt down; now I can see the moon.

interesting. mine is by leon bloy: "man has places in his heart which do not yet exist, and into them enters suffering in order that they may have existence." i chanced upon this when i read graham greene's "the end of the affair" (which is my favorite book, btw). i suppose if one was able to relate to the book, or just was able to experience something near to its story, then he/she will feel the gravity and harshness the quote reveals about people, life and love. i attest to it.

"when i lost the 1 I love, i was the one who got hurt so much but he was the who lost more. For someday, I can love someone again the way I loved him but he will never be loved the way I did" 11 painful thing: *bringing back the feeling you've learned to forget *reminiscing the good times *trying to hide what you really feel *loving someone who loves another *having commitment with someone that you know wouldn't last *shielding your heart to love somebody *loving a person too much *right love at the wrong time *taking risk to fall in love again *accepting that it was never meant to be *what if.................?
