The Power of Love/Quotes

"Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream.

Make a bad one good, make a wrong one right-

the power of love will keep you warm at night!

And it don't take money, don't take fame,

Don't need no credit card to ride this train.

It's strong and it's sudden, and it can be cruel sometimes,

But it just might save your life-

That's the power of love!"

- Huey Lewis And The News, "The Power Of Love"

""Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

"''Well, you took me in, you stole my heart, I cannot roam no more.

Because love, it stays within you,

It does not wash up on a shore.

But a fighting man forgets each cut

Each knock, each bruise, each fall,

But a fighting man cannot forget

Why his love don't roam no more.

Oh, reel me in, my precious girl,

Come on, take me home.

'Cause my body's tired of travelling

And my heart don't wish to roam.''"

"When in disgrace with Fortune and men's eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state, And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries, And look upon myself and curse my fate, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd, Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope, With what I most enjoy contented least. Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising, Haply I think on thee, and then my state, Like to the lark at break of day arising From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate; For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings That then I scorn to change my state with kings."

- William Shakespeare

""There are two doors. The door to your right leads to the Source and the salvation of Zion. The door leads back to the Matrix, back to her and the end of your species. As you adequately put, the problem is choice. But we already know what you're going to do, don't we?

An emotion blinding you to the simple and obvious truth: she is going to die and there is nothing you can do to stop it.""
