Absence from whom we love is worse than death.
-William Cowper
Absence from whom we love is worse than death.
-William Cowper
Love flows through a union that lives up to mutual responsibility. Love is not self-seeking, it’s not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrong.
Can you imagine what it would feel like to become aware of an omnipresent ocean of wild divine love that has always been a secret to you in the same way that the sea is invisible to a fish?
Love watches, and sleeping, slumbers not. When fatigued it does not become tired; when pressed it does not work through constraint; when threatened it is not disturbed; but like a lively flame and a burning torch, it mounts upwards, and securely overcomes all opposition.
-Jesus Christ
Do I love you because you're beautiful, or are you beautiful because I love you?
-Richard Rodgers
"Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella"
Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.
In her first passion, a woman loves her lover, in all the others all she loves is love.
-Lord Byron
...when I think of you it's with tears, because no one else has such delicate hands that can reach into my soul and calm my fears...
-John Geddes
"A Familiar Rain"
Love to be real love, must be active.
-Barry Moore
Who could refrain that had a heart to love and in that heart courage to make love known?
-William Shakespeare
