How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?
Albert Einstein — Famous U.S. scientist
Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it’s what you are expected to give–which is everything.
Vittorio Alfieri
When love’s well-timed ’tis not a fault of love; The strong, the brave, the virtuous, and the wise, Sink in the soft captivity together.
Joseph Addison — English Essayist and Poet (1672-1719)
Love and relationships are truly one of the most paradoxical aspects of being human. For it is in love that we find the greatest of strengths and the deepest of sorrows. Love can seem to be so fleeting and unachievable yet it remains well within our reach if we only learn how to embrace it’s power. To experience true love, we must be willing to open ourselves up and sacrifice part of our heart and part of our soul. We must be willing to give of ourselves freely, and we must be willing to suffer. It is only when we expose our inner selves to the white hot flame of rejection, that love can burn so brightly as to join to souls, melding the two into one, creating a bond that joins forever. It is from this bond that we draw strength eternal and power ever lasting. It is in this thing that we call love that we find the means to achieve greatness, both in ourselves and in our lives.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Love is not enough. It must be the foundation, the cornerstone - but not the complete structure. It is much too pliable, too yielding.
Bette Davis
US movie actress (1908 - 1989)
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.

British author, mathematician, & philosopher (1872 - 1970)
Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command.
Alan Watts
Actions are excusable, to the extent of what is legal! Of course I’ve done some crazy things. I think if you’re not doing something a little bit crazy then you’re not really in love because love is an emotional thing, sometimes uncontrollable.
Josh Hartnett US Actor
“You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.”
