Love…
…is most lasting when served with equal measures of courage and understanding; courage to face the difficulties that will try to tear the lovers apart; understanding so those times don’t succeed.
Italian poet, journalist, novelist and composer Arrigo Boito
When
I
saw
you
I fell
in
love.
And
you
smiled
because
you
knew.

Love…
…is the only true “blood” that that keeps people together. It’s stronger than genetics, ancestors, or kin. Love has the power to make “family” of any two people anywhere, anytime.
13th-century Persian Muslim poet and Sufi mystic, Rumi
Your task
is not
to seek
for love,
but merely
to seek
and find
all the barriers
within yourself
that you
have built
against it.

Love…
…is shapeless, yet filled with substance. It is high and wide, but has no specific form. Love is always love, yet the experience of it is never the same for any two people.
Saying found randomly on searchquotes.com
The best kind of relationships
begin unexpectedly;
when you get
the astonished feeling
and everything happens
so suddenly.
That’s why
you don’t look for love.
It comes to you
just at the right time;
the time you never thought
it would have.

Love…
…comes from hope and possibility. It sprouts unexpectedly and unplanned. It grows with patience and understanding. It blossoms with attraction and desire. It fruits with truth and faithfulness.
Taken from Love Without a Doubt by David Taylor
Love is what joins
Love is what flows
Love is what counts
Love is what grows
Love is what’s known.
Love is all around
Love is all about
Love is all we ask
Love is all we give
Love is all I have.
Love wants nothing
Love needs nothing
Love misses nothing
Love excludes nothing
Love is what this is all about.

Love…
…brings me strength and solace whenever my thoughts are focused in your direction. I doubt less. I hope more. My imagination is richer; inspiration grander. Even the near impossible seems somehow possible.
From Winnie The Pooh, the fictional bear created by A. A. Milne
If there
ever comes
a day
when we
can’t be
together,
keep me
in your
heart
I’ll stay
there
forever.

Love…
…bridges gaps, fills crevices and lights the unknown. It allows a person known only for days to feel like an old friend and one known for years to seem like they have always been there at your side.
Irish novelist and poet James Joyce
His heart danced
upon her movements
like a cork upon a tide.
He heard what
her eyes said
to him from beneath
their cowl
and knew that
in some dim past,
whether in life
or revery, he had heard
their tale before.

Love…
…can make someone you met only days ago feel familiar beyond explanation. It feels as if you fell in love with the person long before you met them, but did not know it yet.
Taken from “New Love” by Matthew Baldwin
From the first
lingering glance
Shared by a pair
of prying hearts
To the last
dizzying dance
Performed by two sets
of intricate
intimate
parts
I knew you.

Love…
…requires being stripped down emotionally to allow our ugly, even repulsive, elements to be fully known by another person. The more held back, the more incapable of being fully loved a person is.
American short story writer and novelist Elizabeth Gilbert
To be
fully seen
by somebody…
and be loved
anyhow -
this is
a human
offering
that can border
on miraculous.

Love…
…when questioned gives no answers; when doubted gives no clues. Love does not speak for itself yet has meaning clearly heard without a single word. It is the inexplicable that is fact.
From “Lucky” by English novelist Jackie Collins
Love does not appear
with any warning signs.
You fall into it as if pushed
from a high diving board.
No time to think about
what’s happening. It’s inevitable.
An event you can’t control.
A crazy, heart-stopping,
roller-coaster ride
that just has to take its course.

Love…
…comes from a simple start then with each breath it surges and wanes; ebbs and flows. Some moments it is greater. Some moments it is less. The ability to stay through the inconstancy of love is how it’s proven to be real and lasting.
Dutch post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh
There
is
nothing
more
truly
artistic
than
to
love…
