Without Warning
Sappho (c. 630 - c. 570 BC) was a Greek poet from the island of Lesbos. Although most of her poetry is now lost, she was regarded in ancient times as one of the greatest lyric poets and given names such as the "Tenth Muse" and "The Poetess," just as Homer was called "the Poet."
True love begins in heaven's bower,
Unfolds on earth a perfect flower.

Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
BIBLE
Leviticus 19:18
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.

Flowers in the concrete
Climbing over fences, blooming in the shadows

Coming through the melody when the night bird sings
Love is a wild thing, yeah

CHARLES EDWARD JERNINGHAM
The Maxims of Marmaduke
What we each fall in love with individually is, I believe, our moral, mental, and physical complement. Not our like, not our counterpart; quite the contrary; within healthy limits, our unlike and our opposite.
GRANT ALLEN

Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Oh my heart
Love is blindness
U2

Only love heals. Anger, guilt, and fear can only destroy.
ALYSON NOEL

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.
