Quotations
Love
There lives at least one being who can never change - one being who would be content to devote his whole existence to your happiness - who lives but in your eyes-who breathes but in your smiles, who bears the heavy burden of life itself only for you.
-Charles Dickens

"The Intern"
As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.
-Helen Keller

-Jesus Christ
Where there is love there is life.

Love sought is good, but given unsought, is better.
-William Shakespeare
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

A life without love is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.
-Oscar Wilde "Oscar Wilde"
