I Wanna Know What Love Is

One of the top songs of the 1980s, and one of my favorites, Foreigner sings along with the New Jersey Mass Choir.

Happy Valentine's Day, everybody!

Valentines Day Factoids

I had send several friends of mine an e-card from CharlieTurner.com, but the card requires Macromedia Flash. The cool (IMHO) thing about this card is that it is in the form of an ancient book, each page has a different fact. At the end of the book, you have the option of printing the entire thing. I learned a couple of things I didn't know. Hope you do too.

Love Poem of the Day
Escape me?
Never — Beloved!
While I am I, and you are you,
So long as the world contains us both,
Me the loving and you the loth,
While the one eludes, must the other pursue.
My life is a fault at last, I fear —
It seems too much like a fate, indeed!
Though I do my best I shall scarce succeed —
But what if I fail of my purpose here?
~~ Robert Browning

Love Poem of the Day
Wild nights! Wild nights!
Were I with thee,
Wild nights should be
Our luxury!

Futile the winds
To a heart in port,
Done with the compass,
Done with the chart.

Rowing in Eden!
Ah! the sea!
Might I but moor
Tonight in thee!

~~ Emily Dickinson

Quote of the Day
Love is a symbol of eternity that wipes away all sense of time,
removing all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end.

Love and Other Silliness

Here are some great movie lines. Sprinkled among them are some really sappy ones too. I'll leave you to decide which is which. Let me know if I've left your favorite off the list! :wink:

Oh, poor creatures. They've lost their equilibrium because they've lost their faith in love. Oh l'amour, l'amour.

Countess de Lave [Mary Boland] (The Women, 1939)

Everything seems like nothing to me now, 'cause I want you in my bed. I don't care if I burn in hell. I don't care if you burn in hell. The past and the future is a joke to me now. I see that they're nothing. I see they ain't here. The only thing that's here is you - and me.

Ronnie Cammareri [Nicolas Cage] (Moonstruck, 1987)

I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

Harry Burns [Billy Crystal] (When Harry Met Sally, 1989)

Those toenails dry yet, sweetheart? We got some dancin' to do.

Sailor [Nicolas Cage] (David Lynch's Wild at Heart, 1990)

Say it again, it keeps me awake. "I love you."

Alicia [Ingrid Bergman], Devlin [Cary Grant] (Notorious, 1946)

Now that was when people KNEW how to be in love. They knew it! Time, distance... nothing could separate them because they knew. It was right. It was real.

Annie Reed [Meg Ryan] (Sleepless in Seattle, 1993)

You know, Bud; pride is one of those seven deadly. I almost lost Corrine and the kids before I got a throat big enough to swallow mine. It choked some goin' down, but I realized that without her and them kids I'd just be another pile of dog shit in the canteloupe patch.

Uncle Bob [Barry Corbin] (Urban Cowboy, 1980)

Paul, I think I'm gonna be a lousy wife. But don't be angry with me. I love you very much -- and I'm very sexy!

Corie Bratter [Jane Fonda] (Barefoot in the Park, 1967)

Do you have any reaction at all to my telling you I love you? "I was just inches from a clean getaway."

Aurora Greenway [Shirley Maclaine], Garrett Breedlove [Jack Nicholson] (Terms of Endearment, 1983)

It's amazing, Molly. The love inside, you take it with you.

Sam Wheat [Patrick Swayze] (Ghost, 1991)

Love Poem of the Day
Kisses kept are wasted;
Love is to be tasted.
There are some you love, I know;
Be not loathe to tell them so.
Lips go dry and eyes grow wet
Waiting to be warmly met.
Keep them not in waiting yet;
Kisses kept are wasted.
~~Edmund Vance Cooke
