Love…
…says break down the walls, overcome your fear and take the chance. Speak your heart and tell the one you love how you feel. You will end up with no less than before and it’s possible you’ll find what you hoped for.
From “Sense and Sensibility” by English Novelist Jane Austin
I come here
with no
expectations,
only
to profess,
now that
I am at liberty
to do so,
that my heart
is
and
always
will be
yours.

Love…
…is a rising sun whose warmth every heart desires. For some it becomes injured by storms of difference. Others will know ups and downs like those on a partly cloudy day. And for a blessed few, love rises like a single cloud and rests in calm blue sky regardless of what happens.
American romantic fiction writer Nicholas Sparks
So it’s not
gonna be easy.
It’s gonna
be really hard.
We’re gonna
have to work
at this every day,
but I want to do that
because I want you.
I want all of you,
forever,
you and me,
every day…

Love…
…is a paradox when two have given their heart to one other. If each one loves the other until it hurts, there is no more hurt, only more love. Love is repaid by love alone.
Nineteenth Century Irish writer and poet Oscar Wilde
To give
and not
expect
return,
that is
what
lies
at the
heart
of
love.

Love…
…changes every person it touches. Whether for a long time or only for a little while, knowing love takes the soul to a new place it can never completely return from.
Swiss psychotherapist and psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung
The meeting
of two
personalities
is like
the contact
of two chemical
substances:
if there is
any reaction,
both are
transformed.

Love…
…is a mystery to never completely solved. It is a question for which no complete answers exist. Every heart loves differently making as many different kinds of love as there are people.
From “Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman” by Haruki Murakami
I sometimes
think that
people’s hearts
are like
deep wells.
Nobody knows
what’s at
the bottom.
All you can do
is imagine by
what comes
floating to
the surface
every once
in a while.

Love…
…is the longest four letter word in the English language. To understand, one need only consider the eternity it takes before a response after telling someone for the first time that you love him or her.
Canadian author and speech pathologist Vesna Bailey
…you are
my rainbow
to keep.
My eyes
will always
be watching
you;
never will
I lose
sight of
you.

Love…
…lives in one of a kind hearts, each made unique by memories stored and grief accumulated; by kindness stockpiled and good and bad feelings saved; by tenderness collected and heartbreak gathered. These and more plough and cultivate the heart till it becomes either soft and fertile or withered and hard.
German writer, artist, and politician Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All the
knowledge
I possess
everyone
else can
acquire,
but my
heart
is all
my
own.

Love…
…is worth everything. Put aside doubt and fear or it can’t get close. Only by fully opening yourself up to the possibility of heartbreak can love find a way into your heart and make a home there.
American fiction writer author and teacher Erica Jong
Love is everything
it’s cracked up to be.
That’s why people
are so cynical about it.
It really is
worth fighting for,
risking everything for.
And the trouble is,
if you don’t risk
everything,
you risk even more.

Love…
…brings great concern when the one who has your heart is seriously ill. Pacing or being anxious does no good, but it happens anyway. Prayers help. Forever promises are often made in those worried moments wishing to take the one you love’s place.
Quote by a writer unknown/anonymous
In those moments
realizing you
could be
lost to me
forever,
I feel helpless,
powerless,
and utterly lost
like a frightened child.
I can’t tell up from down.
My world spins all around.
You are more of me
than I am of my self.

Love…
…is pain. Love is joy. Hearts that have known the greatest joy can best bear the deepest pain. Hearts that have known the greatest pain are best able to know the heights of joy.
From ” Mend My Broken Heart” by Jacelyn Soriano
We cannot love a person
with an all accepting,
transcending and encompassing
love without being hurt somewhat,
without being disappointed,
without being failed
of our expectations.
We cannot love
without being broken,
yet we cannot continue
in love without
being stronger
than our brokenness.
