Daily Inspiration (10)

Since it's the tenth time I'm doing a Daily Inspiration, I thought I'd change it up a little. I've been looking at quotes and poems mostly today for inspiration for my love themed sketch. I've also been thinking about some love-related situations that my friends are living through (that topic is always interesting). Of course, they won't be able to tell what is about them and I am definitely not going to "let the cat out of the bag." I'll just let everyone wonder...
So here is quote that has inspired a part of the sketch:

• "Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two." -St. Augustine

I've never seen it but apparently it's from a movie called Captain Corelli's Mandolin. I'm going to look it up now because this quote was the perfect muse for my sketch! Perfect!

Here are some images that I liked today:
