This week's theme ~
Soul Mates
Tevya:
“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants.
But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is
holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can
change your life.
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love
“He is my soul mate, my fresh air, the reason I look forward to getting up every
morning.”
― Tabitha Suzuma, Forbidden

"Finding someone you love and who loves you back is a wonderful, wonderful feeling. But finding a true soul mate is an even better feeling. A soul mate is someone who understands you like no other, loves you like no other, will be there for you forever, no matter what. They say that nothing lasts forever, but I am a firm believer in the fact that for some, love lives on even after we're gone."
— Cecelia Ahern (P.S. I Love You)
"About three things I was absolutely certain. First, Edwart was most likely my soul mate, maybe. Second, there was a vampire part of him -- which I assumed was wildly out of his control -- that wanted me dead. And third, I unconditionally, irrevocably, impenetrably, heterogeneously, gynecologically, and disreputably wished he has kissed me."
— Harvard Lampoon (Nightlight: A Parody)
Paula:
"You know you're in love when you can't
fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." ~ Dr.
Seuss
"The reason it hurts so much to be
separate is because our souls are connected." ~Nicholas Sparks
"Whatever souls are made of, his and
mine are the same." ~Emily Bronte
Michelle:
“I will find you," he whispered in my
ear. "I promise. If I must endure two hundred years of purgatory, two hundred
years without you - then that is my punishment, which I have earned for my
crimes. For I have lied, and killed, and stolen; betrayed and broken trust. But
there is the one thing that shall lie in the balance. When I shall stand before
God, I shall have one thing to say, to weigh against the rest."
His voice dropped, nearly to a whisper, and his arms tightened around me.
Lord, ye gave me a rare woman, and God! I loved her well.”
― Diana Gabaldon, Dragonfly in Amber
