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.
Love to be real love, must be active.
-Barry Moore
Love is not love that alters when it alteration finds.
-William Shakespeare
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
Love is moral even without legal marriage, but marriage is immoral without love.
-Ellen Key
Love doesn’t please itself by seeking revenge. Love sacrifices itself for the good of others.
-Kerrelyn Sparks
"Be Still My Vampire Heart"
On the journey towards the beloved, you live by dying at every step.
-Nadeem Aslam
"The Wasted Vigil"
Whatever is done for love always occurs beyond good and evil.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give, that takes courage because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt.
-Madonna
Absence from whom we love is worse than death.
-William Cowper
