"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.
- Captain Corelli's Mandolin6. "Love is the beauty of the soul."
by St. Augustine
"In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities."
by Janos Arnay
"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies."
Aristotle
"Each moment of a happy lover's hour is worth an age of dull and common life."
by Aphra Behn
No man is truly married
until he understands
every word his wife is NOT saying.

You will never know true happiness
until you have truly loved,
and you will never understand
what pain really is
until you have lost it.

Life without love is like a tree
Without blossom and fruit.
