They had it right...

The Beatles. They had it right. All you need is love. In honor of Valentines Day and February in general, I feel the need to post about LOVE. Love has been around FOREVER. Like, Adam and Eve and before...SO I thought I would post some famous couples.

ROMEO & JULIET

Aren't they lovely and tragic?

The only movie version I've seen was with Leo DiCaprio...it was good but I prefer the live play.



Some famous love lines from them:
"Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!/ For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night." -ROMEO William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, 1.5

"O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name.
Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love
And I'll no longer be a Capulet." -JULIET William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, 2.2

"See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O that I were a glove upon that hand,
that I might touch that cheek!" -ROMEO William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, 2.2

Beautiful, Shakespeare. Nice work.

MR. DARCY & ELIZABETH BENNETT

They are perfect. (The pictures are from the BBC with Colin Firth...I'm not a fan of Keira Knightley)


"She is tolerable, I suppose, but not handsome enough to tempt me; I am in no humour at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men. You had better return to your partner and enjoy her smiles, for you are wasting your time with me." (Mr Darcy to Mr. Bingley about Elizabeth Bennet; Ch. 3)

My favorite part of the movie...

"Your conjecture is totally wrong, I assure you. My mind was more agreeably engaged. I have been meditating on the very great pleasure which a pair of fine eyes in the face of a pretty woman can bestow." (Darcy to Miss Bingley; Ch. 6)

"In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." (Darcy; Ch. 35)


"From the very beginning— from the first moment, I may almost say— of my acquaintance with you, your manners, impressing me with the fullest belief of your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others, were such as to form the groundwork of disapprobation on which succeeding events have built so immovable a dislike; and I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry." (Elizabeth; Ch. 35)

"You are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged, but one word from you will silence me on this subject for ever." (Darcy; Ch. 58)

There are more...but I gotta stop.
