Love is the medicine of all moral evil. By it
the world is to be cured of sin. Love is the
wine of existence. When you have taken that,
you have taken the most precious drop of that
there is in the cluster. Love is the seraph, and
faith and hope are but the wings by which it flies.
The nature of the highest love is to be exquisitely
sensitive to the act of forcing itself unbidden and
unwelcomed upon another. The finer, the stronger,
the higher love is, the more it is conditioned upon
reciprocation. No man can afford to invest his being
in anything lower than faith, hope, love - these three,
the greatest of which is love.
Henry Ward Beecher
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
What Is Love?
Love is anterior to life,
Posterior to death,
Initial of creation, and
The exponent of breath.
- Emily Dickinson
What Is Love?
Love is when you shed a tear and still want him,
it's when he ignores you and you still love him,
it's when he loves another girl but you still smile
and say I'm happy for you, when all you really do is cry.
- Rikka
Love is composed of a single
soul inhabiting two bodies.
- Aristotle
Love is like quicksilver in the hand.
Leave the fingers open and it stays.
Clutch it, and it darts away.
- Dorothy Parker
Love is everything it's cracked up to be.
That's why people are so cynical about it...
It really is worth fighting for,
risking everything for. And the trouble is, if
you don't risk everything, you risk even more.
- Erica Jong

Love is the master key that
opens the gates of happiness.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes
Love is more than three words
mumbled before bedtime.
Love is sustained by action,
a pattern of devotion in the
things we do for each other
every day.
- Nicholas Sparks
Love is an act of endless forgiveness,
a tender look which becomes a habit.
- Peter Ustinov
Love is like a violin.
The music may stop now
and then, but the strings
remain forever.
- Unknown
Love is the only sane and
satisfactory answer to the
problem of human existence.
- Erich Fromm
