Love is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone - but not the complete structure. It is much too pliable, too yielding.
The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
Love is everything it's cracked up to be…It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for.
Love is, above all else, the gift of oneself.
True love brings up everything - you're allowing a mirror to be held up to you daily.
'Tis the most tender part of love, each other to forgive.
To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage; because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt.
Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit.
For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.
He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser, sees newly every time he looks at the object beloved, drawing from it with his eyes and his mind those virtues which it possesses. -Emerson
Love isn't a decision. It's a feeling. If we could decide who we loved, it would be much simpler, but much less magical.
