Love…
…makes me wish grand things and imagine bold dreams. If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you made me smile, I would have the whole night sky in the palm of my hand.
From “Succubus Revealed” by American Novelist Richelle Mead
How we
love others
is affected
by how we
love ourselves,
and for the
first time
in a long
time,
I was
whole.
Love…
… of the lasting kind is uncommon and rare. It’s not difficult to find someone who tells you they love you. It’s very difficult to find someone who actually means it. My darling, I have never meant anything as much as “I love you”.
From “War and Peace” by Russian writer Leo Tolstoy
We
are
asleep
until
we
fall
in
Love!
Love…
…causes me to see you as I have never seen anyone else. I see your imperfections, yet know you are perfect for me. As they are now and always have been since we were children, my feelings will never change.
Anonymous saying by a writer unknown
If I
could
give you
one thing
in life,
I would
give you
the ability
to see
yourself
through
my eyes.
Only then
would
you
realize
how
special
you are
to me.
Love…
…is easy to spot when real and true. There’s an invisible glow about a loving couple in good and bad times. Such love can’t be faked. Genuine and faithful hearted love shouts it name silently.
From “The Name of the Wind” by American writer Patrick Rothfuss
My parents
danced together,
her head
on his chest.
Both had
their eyes closed.
They seemed so
perfectly content.
The image of them
gently swaying
to the music
is how
I picture love
in my mind
even after
all these years.

Love…
…is enduring and durable. When two people are meant for each other; no time is too long; no distance too far; no obstacle too difficult; no pain too great. For you, I would endure anything.
American author, public speaker and research professor Brene Brown
Love is not
something
we give or get;
it is something
that we nurture
and grow,
a connection
that can only
be cultivated
between
two people
when it exists
within each
one of them…
Love…
…is what allows a person to be their most vulnerable with the belief he or she will not get hurt. It’s an almost blind faith that more often than not is undeserved. But when the risk pays off, the angels sing with two hearts in unison.
American author, public speaker and research professor Brene Brown
We cultivate
love when we
allow our most
vulnerable and
powerful selves
to be deeply
seen and known,
and when we
honor the spiritual
connection that
grows from that
offering with trust,
respect,
kindness
and affection.
Love…
…has to be a little crazy to be good. Falling in love is like jumping off a really tall building. Your brain tells you it is not a good idea, but your heart tells you that you can fly.
From “Bel Canto” by American writer Ann Patchett
Love
was
action.
It
came
to
you.
It
was
not
a
choice.
Love…
…was exciting when we met and were getting to know each other. The initial exhilaration has mellowed over time into the greatest joy I have known. The life we share is the source of my joy.
Anonymous saying by a writer unknown
Falling
in love
is only
half
of what
I want.
Staying
in love
with you
till forever
is the
other.
Love…
…for you has never been something I could hold back. Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you was completely beyond my control.
From “The Unsung Love Story” by Cristina Patchett
Love
is a
wild
fire
that
cannot
be
contained
by any
mere
element
known
to man.
Love…
…separated by years, is still the same love. Though we were long ago parted, there is a place in my heart no one else will ever touch. I have loved since and may love yet again, but never as deeply as I love you.
Dutch-Born Catholic priest and spiritual writer Hans Nouwens
In
true
love
the
smallest
distance
is too
great,
and the
greatest
distance
can be
bridged
