"Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within."

"I would rather have tasted her lips just once, touched her skin, one time, and made love to her for one night, than spend the rest of my life without ever knowing that."

"Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.'"

"You can't help who you love, you're not supposed to."

"No government has the right to tell its citizens when or whom to love. The only queer people are those who don't love anybody."

"Don't promise me forever, don't promise me the sun and sky, don't pretend to know you'll never make me cry. Just hold me now, and promise me you'll try."

"When I'm weak, I draw strength from you, and when you're lost, I know how to change your mood. And when I'm down, you breathe life over me. And even though we are miles apart, we are each other's destiny."

"'Cause I miss you, body and soul, so strong that it takes my breath away and I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today. 'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right, and though I can't be with you tonight, you know my heart is by your side."
