-Elizabeth Barrett Browing
That one I love who is incapable of ill will, and returns love for hatred. Living beyond the reach of I and mind, pain and pleasure, full of mercy, contented, self-controlled, with all his heart and all his mind given to Me – with such a one I am in love.

-Madonna
The greatest love stories are not those in which love is only spoken, but those in which it is acted upon.
