Love…
…unrequited is still love. Some of the greatest romances told were known only to one person with unreciprocated love carried as a secret song in a single heart.
From Don Juan by Anglo-Scottish poet Lord Byron
Then
there were sighs,
the deeper for suppression,
And
stolen glances,
sweeter for the theft,
And
burning blushes,
tho’ for no transgression,
Tremblings when met,
and restlessness when left.
Love…
… has my heart singing in harmony with yours. Had someone suggested I’d mellow into such happiness, I’d not have accepted it was possible. Now I believe. Now I’m in love. Now I know joy I never imagined feasible.
French romantic, poet and novelist Victor Hugo
What
a grand
thing,
to
be
loved!
What
a grander
thing
still,
to
love!
Love…
…saved me. The caring of friends began my healing, the support of a former lover was good medicine and learning to love myself was the cure. Strength is not always forceful and bold. Love is tender, gentle and arrives softly, but is strong beyond measure.
American psychiatrist and author Karl A. Menninger
Love
cures
people,
both
the
ones
who
give
it
and
the
ones
who
receive
it.
Love…
…is a suit of armor for the spirit and a strengthener of will and fortitude. Love amplifies and makes better all that is good and it diminishes and makes the bad easier to bear.
American poet and greeting card producer Susan Polis Schutz
This life is yours.
Take the power to choose
what you want to do
and do it well.
Take the power to love
what you want in life
and love it honestly.
Take the power
to walk in the forest
and be a part of nature.
Take the power to control
your own life. No one else
can do it for you.
Take the power
to make your life happy.
Love…
…heightens and brightens every sense, thought and feeling. It fills and thrills the heart, mind and body. Like gasoline it can make a small flame into a blazing fire.
From “The Magic Of Love” by Helen Steiner Rice
Love is like magic
And it always will be.
For love still remains
Life’s sweet mystery!!
Love works in ways
That are wondrous and strange
And there’s nothing in life
That love cannot change!!
Love can transform
The most commonplace
Into beauty and splendor
And sweetness and grace.
Love…
…is found much like a determined prospector digging for gold; one has to have a belief he or she is going to find it in the first place. ‘Striking it rich’ in love becomes probable only with an unwavering conviction it is possible.
From “Love and Truth” by American writer Kathryn Vance-Perez
If you told
me today our
being together
would result
in heartbreak
I would still
choose to be
with you because
I believe that
truly living life
is in the experiences
not the outcomes.
Love…
…shows a profoundly innate quality when the heart grants forgiveness. It is usually the difference between the death of love or its rebirth. Forgiveness strengthens a loving heart.
Australian poet, playwright and novelist Alison Croggon
We are all
mistaken
sometimes;
sometimes we do
wrong things,
things that have
bad consequences.
But it does not
mean we are evil,
or that we cannot
be trusted
ever afterward.
Love…
…never forgets. It is always remembered. When true love comes it carves out a space deep within us that will forever remain whether we want it to or not.
From the book “Different Directions” by Donna L. Jones
Your sweet
scent will
forever be
with me,
reminding me
of the love
we once
shared.
I will
breathe in
the memories
until we
meet again.
Love…
…frequently does not allow a person to know when and where it really began. It accumulates like water filling a lake behind a damn. Then one day it starts to spill over, for good or naught.
American writer and philosopher Richard Bach
True
love
stories
never
have
endings.
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.
