just like a murderer jumps of nowhere in an ally, love jumped out in front of us and struck us both at once
Interpretation

This quote by Mikhail Bulgakov suggests that love can appear suddenly and without warning, akin to a shocking event. It highlights the unpredictable and sometimes overwhelming nature of love, which can confront us unexpectedly and deeply affect both individuals involved.
In practice
Using this quote in a wedding speech to express the unpredictable nature of love.
But would you kindly ponder this question: What would your good do if evil didn't exist, and what would the earth look like if all the shadows disappeared? After all, shadows are cast by things and people. Here is the shadow of my sword. But shadows also come from trees and living beings. Do you want to strip the earth of all trees and living things just because of your fantasy of enjoying naked light? You're stupid.
The tongue can conceal the truth, but the eyes never! You're asked an unexpected question, you don't even flinch, it takes just a second to get yourself under control, you know just what you have to say to hide the truth, and you speak very convincingly, and nothing in your face twitches to give you away. But the truth, alas, has been disturbed by the question, and it rises up from the depths of your soul to flicker in your eyes and all is lost.
Well, as everyone knows, once witchcraft gets started, there's no stopping it.
Remove the document—and you remove the man.
Literature has become my life.
The tongue may hide the truth but the eyes—never!
XVII Lady, i will touch you with my mind. Touch you and touch and touch until you give me suddenly a smile,shyly obscene (lady i will touch you with my mind.)Touch you,that is all, lightly and you utterly will become with infinite care the poem which i do not write.
I dreamt my lady came and found me dead . . . . . . . . . . . . And breathed such life with kisses in my lips That I revived and was an emperor.
Forgive my grief for one removed Thy creature whom I found so fair I trust he lives in Thee and there I find him worthier to be loved.
Types really don't matter. I have been accused of preferring blondes. But I have known some mighty attractive redheads, brunettes, and yes, women with grey hair. Age, height, weight haven't anything to do with glamour.
One who knows more, loves more.
The God of love my shepherd is, And he that doth me feed: While he is mine, and I am his, What can I want or need?
