Mature love says: "I need you because I love you." -Erich Fromm

I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each others dreams, we can be together all the time. -Hobbes (Calvin and Hobbes)

Love does not die easily. It is a living thing. It thrives in the face of all of life's hazards, save one -- neglect. James D. Bryden

Love vanquishes time. To lovers, a moment can be eternity, eternity can be the tick of a clock. -Mary Parrish

Absence is to love as wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small and kindles the great.
