Love can be a terrible curse. It can make you overlook even the largest flaws in a person's behavior.
CHRISTOPHER PAOLINI
Brisingr

RITA MAE BROWN
Full Cry
This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love
I feel you
Your heart it sings
I feel you
The joy it brings
Where heaven waits
Those golden gates
And back again
You take me to
And lead me through oblivion
DEPECHE MODE
"I Feel You", Songs of Faith and Devotion
The prerequisite to loving others is to love yourself. If you don't have a healthy respect for who you are, and if you don't learn to accept yourself faults and all, you will never be able to properly love other people.
JOEL OSTEEN
Become a Better You
Love is the wild card of existence.
RITA MAE BROWN
In Her Day
Love is not a delicate toying,
A slim and shimmering mesh;
It is two souls wrenched into one,
Two bodies made one flesh.

O what a heaven is love! O what a hell!
THOMAS DEKKER
Blurt, Master Constable
Love is the key-note of the universe--
The theme, the melody.
HENRY ABBEY
"The Troubadour"
To have, to hold, to love and caress
Is all we can ask from above
For the road that leads to happiness
Is the road that leads to love
IRVING BERLIN
"The Road that Leads to Love"
Some people, right away, do know each other deeply. Love gives them insight into each other. Love makes them pledge themselves to each other. Love makes them inventive. Yes, it also makes them ridiculous. But that's just another of love's glories. It makes being ridiculous permissible.

Beyond
Love, n. A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder.

It is sometimes fatal, but more frequently to the physician than to the patient.

'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
ALFRED TENNYSON
"In Memoriam"
Why does it seem to be more and more challenging to find a perfect mate or maintain a happy and compatible relationship? Was love always this difficult? Haven't we heard stories of people being truly fulfilled and happy in love? Is love a myth? There are more people on the planet than ever before, and traveling the world has never been easier. Not only that; now we can use technologies like the Internet to connect with others. So what is the problem? Why does it seem to be more complicated than ever to meet the right person and live happily ever after?
PAMELA OSLIE
