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…
…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…
…allowed me to see how unique and special you are; to look inside your heart and know I am safe. Loving you and you loving me has taught what trust, tenderness and true love is. I am grateful beyond words.
French author and Nobel Prize in Literature. Francois Mauriac
To
love
someone
is
to
see
a
miracle
invisible
to
others.
Love…
… taught me to love myself. I always thought I needed to be more of this or less of that, but your love is accepting of me just as I am. You’ve helped me become a better man; more confident, self-assured and capable of loving.
American author, motivational speaker and a professor Leo F. Buscaglia
A loving
relationship
is one in which
the loved one
is free
to be himself,
to laugh with me,
but never at me;
to cry with me,
but never
because of me;
to love life,
to love himself,
to love being loved
Love…
…came not because of one thing, but because of many. In coming to know you I have discovered so much I like; so much to be glad, even joyful about. If I had custom made you for me, I could not have done a better job.
Spoken by Tom Hanks in the movie “Sleepless In Seattle”
It
was
a million
tiny
little
things
that,
when
you
added
them
all up,
they
meant
we were
supposed
to be
together…
and
I knew it.
Love…
…arrived when you came into my life and I went crazy in sublime and wonderful ways. You in turn found our love to be the lion tamer you needed and had long searched for. Two halves of one whole, that’s you and me…
Quote by an obscure writer named Alexis Delp
Love
makes
the
wildest
spirit
tame,
and
the
tamest
spirit
wild.
Love…
…was “sugar” to my Grandmother when she was kissed on the cheek. Her smile when one of us kids “gave her some sugar” is indelibly stamped upon my heart. I feel like she must have when you kiss me on my forehead.
From the novel “I Say Who, What and Where!” by Merce Cardus
No matter
where we
come from,
a little
sugar
is what
everybody
demands in life,
what everybody
needs in life.
It’s perhaps the
main ingredient
that keeps
us alive.
Love…
…is the practice of a quick kiss in parting, a hug each time back together or holding hands walking together. Many repeats of small expressions of affection keep love strong and thriving.
President of the nonprofit Institute of HeartMath Sara Paddison
You’ll discover
that real love
is millions
of miles
past falling
in love
with anyone
or anything.
When you
make that one
effort to feel
compassion
instead
of blame
or self-blame,
the heart
opens again
and continues
opening.
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…
…requires two kindred sparks to make a single shared flame. Over time each must fuel the other in some semblance of balance or their fire will flounder.
American clergyman and social reformer Henry Ward Beecher
Love cannot
endure
indifference.
It needs to
be wanted.
Like a lamp,
it needs
to be fed
out of the oil
of another’s
heart,
or its flame
burns low.
