September 21, 2008Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion’s starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there – fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge – they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaking suspision love actually is all around.

Well, as Lynx so eloquently (in a random shakespeare way <3. ) pointed out, I never did put up my favorite quote. That’s probably because I have, say, a hundred of them. Seriously, I just, love generally all well-written quotes. In light of this, I have made a list, of all of my favorite quotes (which is currently, five pages long on my Word Document.) — and then, I am going to write out what it is I love from a certain quote, etc, over my next blog posts.
That particular quote, is one of my favorites for rather self explanatory reasons. If you look for it, love is everywhere. And without it, I believe this world would be a very dark, hopeless place in deed. In the end, for me, what matters is not who you have hated, but who you have loved.
