Quotations
Love
As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.
-Helen Keller
Love does not alter the beloved, it alters itself.

When desire, having rejected reason and overpowered judgment which is set in the direction of the pleasure which beauty can inspire, is called love.

Nice people don't necessarily fall in love with nice people.
-Jonathan Franzen
