And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
-Khalil Gibran
Nice people don't necessarily fall in love with nice people.

What is love? Two souls and one flesh; Friendship? Two bodies and one soul.
-Joseph Roux
Love does not alter the beloved, it alters itself.
In many a form of goodness, O Love, you show your face. Grant that these forms may penetrate within our hearts. Send elsewhere all malice!
A life without love is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.
Love watches, and sleeping, slumbers not. When fatigued it does not become tired; when pressed it does not work through constraint; when threatened it is not disturbed; but like a lively flame and a burning torch, it mounts upwards, and securely overcomes all opposition.
-Jesus Christ
Stop waiting for the right person to come into your life. Be the right person to come to someone’s life.
-Leo Babauta
There lives at least one being who can never change - one being who would be content to devote his whole existence to your happiness - who lives but in your eyes-who breathes but in your smiles, who bears the heavy burden of life itself only for you.
-Charles Dickens
