What a grand thing, to be loved!
What a grander thing still, to love!
- Victor Hugo -
Love comforteth like sunshine after rain.
- William Shakespeare -
One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life:
that word is love.
- Sophocles -
There is no remedy for love but to love more.
- Thoreau -
Love bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.
- The Bible : 1 Corinthians -
If you have it [love],
you don't need to have anything else.
If you don't have it,
it doesn't matter much what else you do have.
- Sir James M. Barrie -
Love: A fruit always in season.
- Mother Teresa -
Who knows where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say,
But if you let me love you
I'm sure to love you all the way.
- From the song "All The Way" -
(by Frank Sinatra)
We all want to fall in love. Why?
Because that experience makes us feel completely alive,
where every sense is heightened,
and every emotion is magnified.
Our everyday reality is shattered
and we are flung into the heavens.
It may only last a moment, an hour, or an afternoon,
but that doesn't diminish its value,
because we are left with memories
that we treasure for the rest of our lives.
- From the movie "The Mirror Has Two Faces" -
(starring Barbara Streisand)
In a universe of ambiguity,
this kind of certainty comes only once,
and never again,
no matter how many lifetimes you live.
- From the novel "The Bridges of Madison County" -
(by Robert Waller)
