Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life... You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore.

We do not say of Love that he is myopic. We do not say of Love that he is astigmatic. We say quite simply, Love is blind. We might go further and say, Love is deaf. That would be a profound and obvious truth. We might go further still and say, Love is dumb. But that would be a profound and obvious lie. For love is always an extraordinarily fluent talker.

Running like a river trying to find the ocean
Flowers in the concrete
Climbing over fences, blooming in the shadows
Places that you can't see
Coming through the melody when the night bird sings
Love is a wild thing, yeah

KACEY MUSGRAVES

"Love Is a Wild Thing"


Love isn't something we can just turn off like a well-oiled faucet. It drips, keeping us up at night.

"The responsibility to fall out of love is on you", Quartz, August 5, 2016


No distance can keep anxious lovers long asunder.

Love is as bitter as the dregs of sin,
As sweet as clover-honey in its cell;
Love is the password whereby souls get in
To Heaven--the gate that leads, sometimes, to Hell.

ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

"What Love Is"


Some meet love's dreams when kissed by death,
And some again in youth,
But all have felt the quickening breath
Of love's undying truth.

True love always brings joy to ourselves and to the one we love. If our love does not bring joy to both of us, it is not true love.

Without warning
as a whirlwind
swoops on an oak
Love shakes my heart

Love will sacrifice more to others than friendship, but then it exacts more from them.

FULKE GREVILLE

Giving and receiving love is vital to human existence. It is the glue that binds couples, families, communities, cultures, and nations.

Sometimes it seems ... as though only intelligent people are stupid enough to fall in love & only stupid people are intelligent enough to let themselves be loved.

What is love? There is nothing in the world, neither man nor Devil nor any thing, that I hold as suspect as love, for it penetrates the soul more than any other thing. Nothing exists that so fills and binds the heart as love does. Therefore, unless you have those weapons that subdue it, the soul plunges through love into an immense abyss.
