Love vanquishes time. To lovers, a moment can be eternity, eternity can be the tick of a clock. Across the barriers of time and the ultimate destiny, love persists, for the home of the beloved, absent or present, is always in the mind and heart. Absence does not diminish love.

-Mary Parrish

How many loved your moments of glad grace.
And loved your beauty with love false or true.
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face.

-W.B. Yeats

In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing.

-Mignon McLaughlin
 
I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.

-Author Unknown
 
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.

-Henry Ward Beecher

Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your good health has vanished.

The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.

-Pearl S. Buck
 
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

There are three kinds of love, - unselfish, mutual, and selfish. The unselfish love is of the highest kind. The lover only minds the welfare of the beloved and does not care for his own sufferings. In mutual love the lover not only wants the happiness of his beloved but has an eye towards his own happiness also. It is middling. The selfish love is the lowest. It only looks towards its own happiness, no matter whether the beloved suffers weal or woe.

-Sri Ramakrishna

Love is the emblem of eternity: it confounds all notion of time: effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end.

-Germaine De Stael
 
Come live in my heart, and pay no rent.

What does open us is sharing our vulnerabilities. Sometimes we see a couple who has done this difficult work over a lifetime. In the process, they have grown old together. We can sense the enormous comfort, the shared quality of ease between these people. It is beautiful, and very rare. Without this quality of openness and vulnerability, partners don't really know each other; they are one image living with another image.

-Charlotte Joko Beck

The world is no longer a romantic place. Some of its people still are however, and therein lies the promise. Don't let the world win.

-John Cage

Love puts the fun in together, the sad in apart, the hope in tomorrow, the joy in the heart.

-Anonymous

I hope life treats you kind;
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish to you, joy and happiness;
But above all this,  I wish you love.

-Dolly Parton

I confess that I love him
I rejoice that I love him
I thank the maker of Heaven and Earth
that gave him to me
the exultation floods me.

-Emily Dickinson

The more extreme and the more expressed that passion is, the more  unbearable does life seem without it. It reminds us that if passion dies or is denied, we are partly dead ...
