Love Letters of Great Men and Women: From the Eighteenth Century to the Present Day

Would make a truly unique gift. Not just for fans of the SATC Movie. Romantic, passionate, a beautiful token of love for a new Bride, or Anniversary present. Or just to say, "I love you."



Although the book seen in the movie is totally fake. The letters play a critical role for Carrie, and Mr Big.





Should we be scorned, humiliated, simply because we want a book? To remind us of a time when our heart's went pitter-patter, during the final scene, of a long awaited movie. Absolutely not!

So Ladies, here it is.

Our must have, must read.

It includes letters that were actually read in the movie. This is the book that women are buying. So throw caution to the wind. Grab your very own copy now.

The Letter

July 6, 1806

My angel, my all, my very self -- only a few words today and at that with your pencil -- not till tomorrow will my lodgings be definitely determined upon -- what a useless waste of time. Why this deep sorrow where necessity speaks -- can our love endure except through sacrifices -- except through not demanding everything -- can you change it that you are not wholly mine, I not wholly thine?

Oh, God! look out into the beauties of nature and comfort yourself with that which must be -- love demands everything and that very justly -- that it is with me so far as you are concerned, and you with
me. If we were wholly united you would feel the pain of it as little as I!

Now a quick change to things internal from things external. We shall surely see each other; moreover, I cannot communicate to you the observations I have made during the last few days touching my own life -- if our hearts were always close together I would make none of the kind. My heart is full of many things to say to you - Ah! -- there are moments when I feel that speech is nothing after all -- cheer up -- remain my true, only treasure, my all as I am yours; the gods must send us the rest that which shall be best for us.

Your faithful,
Ludwig


At the time of his death, this love letter was found among his possesions. Perhaps we will never know who his Immortal Beloved was.

Pre-Order the Movie

Release Date September 23 2008

As light and frothy as the Vivienne Westwood wedding gown that's an unofficial fifth star, the film version of Sex and the City is both captivatingly stylish and sweetly sentimental. Viewers who loved hanging with Carrie Bradshaw and her three pals during the series' TV run will feel as though no time has passed. Except that it has: Carrie and Big are poised to make a Big Commitment; Miranda and Steve are facing the breakup of their wonderful family; Charlotte and Harry have added to their brood; and Samantha (are we sitting down?) has been devoted to hunky Smith for five full years. Still, in all that time, the women's style, conviviality, and appetite for bons mots have only grown. When practical attorney Miranda learns that Carrie is considering moving in with Big (in possibly the coolest apartment in Manhattan), she can't help but frown in that but-you-might-lose-everything way. Carrie's retort: "For once, can't you feel what I want you to feel--jealous?!" Pre-order yours today, just click on the movie below.

How To Write a Love Letter

Helpful Ideas

Have you ever been so madly in love, and wanted very much to express that passion? Your very being aches, as you think of your loved one.

I remember the very first one I ever wrote. The warmth of the sun caressed my face, as the strong wind swirled around my body, as if you were holding me tightly. My heart grew faint, for you were not to be mine.

Perhaps it wasn't exactly like that? As I think back, yes, now I remember. It was a series of yes or no questions. Do you like me? Circle yes or no. As I said, it was my first one, I was in 8th grade, and totally in love with a gorgeous young man, who just happened to be two years older than me.

Here are a few tips I found, and have used.

First, always date it. I can tell you from personal experience, it will be read over, and over again. Even years later.

If you want to use beautiful stationary, by all means, do so. Yet when the moment presents itself, anything will suffice.

Helpful Ideas


  • Recall when you fell in love with him/her.


  • Explain how your life has changed for the better.


  • Describe how much you miss your love when you're apart.


  • Explain that you can't imagine life without him/her.


  • Tell how wonderful and complete he/she makes you feel.


  • Recall some special moments you've shared together.


  • List qualities that set him/her apart from everyone else.


For more ideas, you may want to consider, Pearls of Love throughout the years, it has helped thousands of people all over the world express their deepest feelings. I ask you, Would you like to write your own?

A Lost Art

Or New Trend


Has writing Love Letters become a lost art? Isn't it just easier to send a quick email, or text? Of course it is. But, with the hype buzzing about the book seen in, "Sex and the City," we may be in for a new trend.

Records indicate that the oldest love letter was written on a brick around 2200 B.C. As I said earlier, anything will suffice? Now that's romantic!

So let's take a look at some very unique items, to recapture that lost art, shall we.

If we want to keep our private words of expression a secret, we must consider using a sealing wax. To ensure our deepest thoughts are not revealed to the wrong person. Embellish, with one of the beautiful stamps, for that finishing touch.

Put pen to paper. Will you choose from the large selection of Calligraphy style writing pens, or a Quill? How far back do you want to take this?

Now, what will hold these emotions poured from our very heart. Instead of a brick, why not try something more traditional, as in, stationary? Whether you fancy parchment, or contemporary, you will have a variety to help you decide.

A lost art, or a new trend?

For Her

For some reason you have stumbled on this site. Perhaps it's to purchase that fabulous book for your significant other. Since you're here, may I recommend a few choices for you? Granted these may not be books you would normally buy. But, you care deeply for her, or you wouldn't be here. So why not take it a step further, and pick out something for yourself? I promise you, she will be glad you did. Oh, the benefits that await both of you!




How to Romance the Woman You Love - The Way She Wants You To! V. Elkis from Chicago wrote, I love this book. First and foremost, unlike most other books for romantically-underdeveloped men, this one is written by two very intelligent women, who support their recommendations with actual research and statistics. Right now, I am re-reading this book because I don't want any of its wisdom to elude me. I believe that now, having read this wonderful book, I am able to develop into a better boyfriend and future husband for my One and Only.





1001 Ways to Be Romantic: Now Completely Revised and More Romantic Than Ever We have William B. Brown III from Texas for our next review. If you are at a loss of ideas to honor your woman, try this great book! It has so many great ideas from small things to big things to do for her! She will love you for it (don't tell her where the ideas came from though)!!!
It is the thought that counts.....

If reading isn't your thing, but you want to give your current relationship every possible advantage you can. This next one is perfect. Great for long commutes, or anytime!



New York Times, Best Sellers List. We saved the best for last. The Five Love Languages: Mens Edition; How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate (Audio CD) Author Gary Chapman tells us how married people experience love most strongly through five love languages--quality time, words of encouragement, gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. Tired of missed cues and confusing signals? Get ready for a deeper relationship as you learn to speak her love language and teach her to speak yours. If you would prefer, the book version is also available.

The 50 Greatest Love Letters of All Time

David Lowenherz

The 50 Greatest Love Letters of All Time "The act of writing," proposes Lowenherz, "gives us a chance to reflect in private before exposing our heart." Hence the value of the love letter as an abiding expression of the writer's feelings in all their depth and complexity.






This book is a beautiful collection of deep and candid feelings of love and admiration. I hope to one day share this book with my future husband, wherever he may be. This is an inspiring book. An amazing feature is that writers, artists, composers such as Mozart, American Presidents and other famous people we incorporate ideas and generate thoughts about have part of their souls exposed to us in each page. We are all the same in God's eyes and feelings of love have always been. Nothing's new; only repeated and celebrated. By Celia A. Escalante

Other People's Love Letters

150 Letters You Were Never Meant to See

"Other People's Love Letters: 150 Letters You Were Never Meant to See"

Admit it, you're curious. Bill Shapiro has searched America's attics, closets, and cigar boxes and found actual letters-unflinchingly honest missives full of lust, provocation, guilt, and vulnerability-written only for a lover's eyes.




"From the moment Bill Shapiro stumbled upon an old love letter that wasn't his (it was an ode to his then girlfriend from some earlier man), he was hooked. His new book, Other People's Love Letters, reprints 150 of the many hundreds he's collected over the years. Strictly speaking, they're not all declarations of love. Some are Dear Johns; others are postmortems of failed relationships. And not all of them are letters, in the stationary-and-envelope sense. They're scrawled across postcards, crammed onto Post-its, scribbled on cocktail napkins and matchbooks. Some are old (Peter J. Dougherty, chief of police, to 'dearest Lizzie,' dated December 22, 1911); some are new (e-mails, text messages, more e-mails). Should going through them strike you as voyeuristic, beware. They're addictive."

    Exceptional lens about love letters.

    Haha, sounds like an interesting book! I've heard about this "Love Letters From Great Men" too, even though I don't watch Sex and the City... and now I know where the meme comes from! Thanks for enlightening me :) Also, the "real version" you pointed out as being the closest thing to the fictional book sounds quite interesting... perhaps it would make a great gift in the upcoming holiday season.

    Great concept for a lens! I would also recommend reading the correspondence between John and Abigail Adams. Some really incredible writing there. I wish I had the facility of language that these gentlemen had! Thanks for your hard work.

    Your lens and the love letters by these great men are very inspiring! Do you think it would be great to make a romance novel from out of them? You know, fiction based on fact or something like that? I really would love to learn writing romance novels and this lens of yours just gave me an idea! Here is a source on how to write one and I'm sure you will love what you will see here! 5 stars for your lens!

Your Voice!

Your Chance

I have enjoyed gathering information for this site. In as much as I want to keep it fresh, I have had a brainstorm. I am curious, as well as I'm sure my readers are. Has a love letter ever changed your life? So if you're willing to share?

Has a love letter ever changed your life?

Loading

Yes, totally!

JackBandit says:

I wrote a "love" letter once, in a fit of drunken stupidity, in college, to a girl I hardly knew, but who was absolutely gorgeous and lovely... it was quite whimsical really, and yes, it certainly changed my life. Things between us were never the same... it was so embarrassing for me, and so awkward for her! ...Especially because I egstarted dating her roommate a few months later. Yikes!

cannedguds says:

yes, it did! and I'm very proud that it really did!

richgerman says:

yes

JenniferAkers says:

When my college sweetheart travelled to his overseas home on vacations, he would write the most romantic, sexy, fun love letters to me. English was his second language, and he'd pour his heart out in the best descriptions he could. He'd end them all the same way - Love Always,and then sign his full name, which made me smile. It may not have ended happily ever after, but we were married for 15 years. I still have the letters after all this time.

chloecavanaugh says:

Carrie, that is soooo romantic!

No, not at all.

Sistalove says:

I have never recived one but I will be sending one for my husbands birthday. I hope to bring some sparkle back into my marrigae as I am an exausted, sleep deprived mother of a nine month old missing quality time with my husband!

Lady_Gotrocks says:

I did get some love letters that were nice, but the guy wasn't. So no big life change here.

bdkz says:

No, cant' say I ever got a good love letter, but my husband has sent me some cute e-mails!
