The Dashwood Sisters' Secret of LoveBy Rosie RushtonFor everyone who finds the meaning of love -- and has the courage to live it.
A tried and true secret of love:
If a woman doubts as to whether she should accept a man or not, she certainly ought to refuse him. If she can hesitate as to Yes, she ought to say No, directly.--Jane Austen
Secret No. 1Sometimes a broken heart beats louder then all the whole hearts combined.
Secret No. 2There is really no accounting for taste.
Secret No. 3Love is a bit like a doodle by van Gogh -- your lopsided circle could be a masterpiece to someone else.
Secret No. 4Very few things are worth taking a risk for -- love, family, and the prospect of a first kiss.
Secret No. 5Even mums have hearts.
Secret No. 6There is nothing like a bit of competition to make you want something (or someone) more than you probably should.
Secret No. 7Nothing hurts more than a heart broken without warning.
Secret No. 8There is nothing you should be gentler with than love -- except possibly newborn kittens.
Secret No. 9Your heart is the one thing no one can take from you -- at least not until you decide to give it away.
Secret No. 10Apparently even wretched cows fall in love.
Secret No. 11Love does not die easily -- it often grows while no one is watching.
Secret No. 12You don't often get to choose the people that come into your life, but sometimes you get awful lucky.
Secret No. 13Sometimes things are really too good to be true.
Secret No. 14No matter what anyone else says, it really is the thought that counts.
Secret No. 15Planning love is like trying to control the weather -- impossible, frustrating and unnatural.
Secret No. 16No one is perfect, but sometimes people are perfect for each other anyway.
Secret No. 17If love is blind, then friendship probably needs some glasses too.
Secret No. 18The only thing worse than knowing your guy has a girlfriend is hearing about her. The only thing worse than that is seeing her.
Secret No. 19Remember No. 18? Um, yeah.
Secret No. 20Love triangles are really anything but lovely.
Secret No. 21Sometimes love really does find you when you least expect it (and thus are not properly dressed)
Secret No. 22Sometimes the perfect guy for you isn't the perfect guy for everyone else. And sometimes - and here's where it gets sticky - he thinks he is.
Secret No. 23Never turn down a date.
Secret No. 24Falling in love is the greatest adventure there is -- which incidently, can make it quite dangerous. After all, a broken heart can hurt more than a broken leg.
Secret No. 25Sometimes the more you ignore love, the more seriously it hunts you down.
Secret No. 26Friendship can lead to love, but it doesn't usually work the other way around.
Secret No. 27Absence can do two things to love: make it stronger, or allow you to pretend it never existed at all.
Secret No. 28You'll never forget your first kiss.
Secret No. 29There's no worse combination than a broken heart and too much champagne.
Secret No. 30Surviving a broken heart requires the same as recovering from any injury -- time and love. (And a little ice cream doesn't hurt.)
Secret No. 31Sometimes a kiss says more than words can (no matter how good a talker you may be).
My World. My Life. My Rules.
