I want to place a chalkboard where the fire would be. I need a quote about marriage or love with the word fire or flames in it. Something short like "You set my heart on fire" but more unique and less cheesy. If you come across one, will you let me know?

Thanks!

If you like Shakespeare:

As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words.

I like the third one down of MR’s too

Show us SS, when you’re finished with it.

I think I like MR's first one. 

Thank you. Much obliged!!!

I was going to show you a few pics of some of the things I've made but they link back to my personal information. Damn it!

“...the total number of galaxies in the universe seems to be in the region of ten billion, and that each of them has about a hundred billion stars the size of the sun. These numbers are so absurd that I strangely find myself in a good mood. It's all so immense. I think Paul feels a bit like this as well. There is so little I can do to make a difference. It is liberating.”

“I think us here to wonder, myself. To wonder. To ask. And that in wondering bout the big things and asking bout the big things, you learn about the little ones, almost by accident. But you never know nothing more about the big things than you start out with. The more I wonder, the more I love.”
