"Love is friendship set to music."

...E. Joseph Crossmann

"The sweetest joy, the wildest woe is love"
 

                                           ... Pearl Bailey

"Perfect love is rare indeed -
for to be a lover will require that you continually
have the subtlety of the very wise,
the flexibility of the child, the sensitivity of the artist,
the understanding of the philosopher, the acceptance of the saint,
the tolerance of the scholar and the fortitude of the certain."
                                           ...Leo Buscaglia
 

There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer;
no disease that enough love will not heal;
no door that enough love will not open;
no gulf that enough love will not bridge;
no wall that enough love will not throw down;
no sin that enough love will not redeem...
It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble;
how hopeless the outlook; how muddled the tangle; how great the mistake.
A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.
If only you could love enough you would be
the happiest and most powerful being in the world...

...Emmet Fox
 

And now here is my secret, a very simple secret;
it is only with the heart that one can see rightly,
what is essential is invisible to the eye.

...Antoine de Saint-Exupery
 
 

Time is too slow for those who wait,
too swift for those who fear,
too long for those who grieve,
too short for those who rejoice,
but for those who love, time is eternity.

... Henry Van Dyke

Love is a portion of the soul itself,
and it is of the same nature as the
celestial breathing of the atmosphere of paradise.
 
 

The reduction of the universe to a single being,
the expansion of a single being even to God, this is love.

...Victor Hugo
 

"Love is the flower of life, and blossoms unexpectedly
and without law, and must be plucked where it is found,
and enjoyed for the brief hour of its duration."

...D.H.Lawrence

"Gravitation can not be held responsible for people falling in love"

     "Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour.
Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute.
THAT'S relativity."

         ...Albert Einstein Quotes
 

For one human being to love another:
that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks;
the ultimate, the last test and proof,
the work for which all other work is but preparation.

...Rainer Maria Rilke

Faults are thick where love is thin

       ...English Proverb

One word frees us of all the weight and pain in life. That word is love.

 ... Sophocles

The first duty of love - is to listen

...Paul Tillich

The risk it takes to remain tight inside the bud
is more painful than the risk it takes to blossom.

We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.

                                            ...Anais Nin
 

In our life there is a single color, as on an artist`s palette,
which provides the meaning of life and art.
It is the color of love.

"Love is the only gold."

...Alfred, Lord Tennyson

About 'falling in love at first sight' :

The archetype is a force.
It is an autonomy and it can suddenly seize you...
You see, you have a certain image in yourself without knowing it, of woman, of the woman.
You see that girl, or at least a good imitation of your type
and instantly you get seizure and you are gone.

Carl Jung

"Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless
garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of
loving and being loved brings a warmth and a richness to life
that nothing else can bring."

"Who, being loved, is poor?"

 ...Oscar Wilde
 

"If you have it [love], you don't need to have anything else.
If you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you have."

 ...Sir James M. Barrie

"All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love.

...Leo Tolstoy

"LOVE: The irresistable desire to be irresistibly desired."

...Mark Twain Quotes

"Love is a canvas furnished by Nature
and embroidered by imagination."

 ...Voltaire

"At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet."

...Plato

"If I know what love is, it is because of you."
 

...Herman Hesse

Tenderness emerges from the fact that the two persons,
longing, as all individuals do,
to overcome the separateness and isolation
 to which we are all heir because we are individuals,
can participate in a relationship that, for the moment,
is not of two isolated selves but a union
 .... Rollo May

"Love is like quicksilver in the hand.
Leave the fingers open and it stays.
Clutch it, and it darts away."

Dorothy Parker
