To you, From Bob Marley


I've never really been a fan of Bob Marley and usually these kinds of quotes about love make me roll my eyes in annoyance. But, for some reason, I kind of like what he had to say here. 
Bob Marley On How To Love A Woman “You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.” - Bob Marley

  13. haha @cooperlife: I see what you mean, but I like this one because I think you can substitute all the she's and her's with he's and his. At least that's what I have done with it in my mind.

  56. I've always loved this quote, it speaks deeply to me. Most of his "love" quotes are pretty petty compared to this, they sound like some wacky thing he said.. this is different though. Keep up the great work!
