“Love means never having to say you’re sorry.” – Ali MacGraw, Love Story
Short and memorable, that line from the movie “Love Story” was repeated and parodied in films, TV shows and in songs countless times. John Lennon supposedly offered a variation: “Love means having to say you’re sorry every five minutes.”
Ali McGraw, the actor who uttered the line, in an interview with Oprah said the line “makes no sense”. But then she also said that apologizing is less important than changing one’s behavior. You can watch the clip here.
“Life is messy. Love is messier.” – Catch and Release
The movie “Catch and Release” was written and directed by the prolific writer Susannah Grant. It’s the story of a woman struggling to accept the death of her fiancée. The discovery of fiancée’s secrets forces her to look at life and love a little differently.
“The tone of this film is unusual, because it isn’t a drama and it isn’t a comedy, but to me, that’s what life is – a lot of both. You know the old saying: tragedy plus time equals comedy,” says writer-director Susannah Grant.
“And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make.” – Paul McCartney
This line is from the song “The End”. It’s the perfect last line for the last song in the last record The Beatles made as a group.
“The heart wants what it wants. There’s no logic to these things. You meet someone and you fall in love and that’s that.” – Woody Allen
This requires no explanation.
Many people are surprised to find out that such a passage exists in the bible. This powerful passage summarizes perfectly what love really should be.
