This has stuck with me.
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
Oh no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
Sonnet 116 - Shakespear
That was such a cool project. Our group was definitely the best ever. For those of you taking Honors World Lit this year, don't just overlook this project. Take it to heart. It's worth having things to remember. Honestly.
Also, my friend found this quote and I fell in love with it.
This was love at first sight, love everlasting: a feeling unknown, unhoped for, unexpected - in so far as it could be a matter of conscious awareness; it took entire possession of him, and he understood, with joyous amazement, that this was for life
-Thomas Mann
Apparently this is from his short story "Early Sorrow". I just thought it was beautiful. I like quotes about love. Often they can describe the feelings that I can't.
