How have we not had a thread on quotes about the twin flame journey? Please, no social media stuff. Looking for stuff that goes deep from writers who have lived this kind of journey and not just imagined it.
The one that wrecks me every time is Rumi - this idea that two people were already woven into each other long before they ever met, like the connection predated everything : fire:
“Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.”
And Nikki Rowe:
He touched my soul long before I knew what his hands felt like
Then there’s Brontë. That Wuthering Heights energy.
If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.
Jane Austen wrote something I feel in my bones:
If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.
Would love to hear some others share their favorite quotes.

Good thread. I’m going to go back a little further with mine.
Plato wrote ‘when one of them meets with his other half, the actual half of himself, the pair are lost in an amazement of love and friendship and intimacy and one will not be out of the other’s sight even for a moment.’
Aristotle summed it up as ‘Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.’ So when people try to say this is some new age thing… nah. Ancient Athens.
‘Even if I had known the outcome before I made the choice, the cost to keep you was to lose me and that price is one I can no longer afford. My soul deserves more.’
That’s a different kind of twin flame quote. It’s about the part where you have to walk away to find yourself, which gets overlooked constantly in these conversations. She also wrote ‘He was the safe place I would go when the world became shaky, he would either guide me through the dark or awaken my sense to appreciate my light.’
Then there’s Donna Goddard from her book Consciousness Rising: ‘The true twin flame is not outside of you. It is the light you carry within. Strike a match in your own heart and never let it go out.’
I was journaling at like 2am and stumbled on this from Plato’s Symposium:
‘… and when one of them meets the other half, the actual half of himself, the pair are lost in an amazement of love and friendship and intimacy and one will not be out of the other’s sight.’
Khalil Gibran doesn’t get enough love in these threads. From The Prophet:
‘Love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.’
Also, not a quote exactly, but has anyone read any of Anais Nin’s letters to Henry Miller? She wrote: ‘I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me.’
