Why are old lovers able to become friends? Two reasons. They never truly loved each other, or they love each other still.

Quotations
Love
Absence from whom we love is worse than death.
-William Cowper
How wrong is it for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.
-Anaïs Nin
It is not your love that sustains the marriage,
but from now on, the marriage that sustains your love.
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"Letters and Papers from Prison"
That one I love who is incapable of ill will, and returns love for hatred. Living beyond the reach of I and mind, pain and pleasure, full of mercy, contented, self-controlled, with all his heart and all his mind given to Me – with such a one I am in love.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 12:18-19"
In nature, there are only two focal points of energy; one, 'anger' and second,
'love'. But unfortunately, Science simply does not know how to view from the
perspective of Psychology. Here the energy is created either by the friction of
two things i.e. 'anger' or by the union of two things i.e. 'love'.
-Deep Trivedi
I wonder how many people don't get the one they want, but end up with the one they're supposed to be with.
-Fannie Flagg
"Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe"
You love your family, but not your neighbor. You love your parents, but not others’ parents. You love your religion, but not all religions. You love your country, but not all countries. This is not true love, it is limited love. Transformation of limited love into divine love is the goal of spirituality.
-A Spiritual Leader "Mata Amritanandamayi"
Love does not claim possession, but gives freedom.
-Rabindranath Tagore
"Anger" and "Love"...are the only two centres of energy in human life. Religion,
education and society have killed both these in a human being which is why, the
entire mankind is compelled to lead a life of helplessness.
-Deep Trivedi
