A relationship is like a rose,
How long it lasts, no one knows;
Love can erase an awful past,
Love can be yours, you'll see at last;
To feel that love, it makes you sigh,
To have it leave, you'd rather die;
You hope you've found that special rose,
'Cause you love and care for the one you chose.

If you like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain,
if you're not into yoga, if you have half a brain, if you like

that you've looked for. Write to me and escape.

there.

things I do and for the things I say. I love you.

do yourselves.

here.
- Marianne Williamson
We take a risk when we open our hearts because the truth
is, if we open our hearts, we will get hurt. You can't open
your heart and not have some hurt because you're in a human
experience. Even if it's the love of your life and you have
many wonderful, deepening, growing, powerful years together,
it's a human experience, and that person will pass over.
Love takes courage. Be courageous.
- Mary Manin Morrissey
If we deny love that is given to us, if we refuse to give
love because we fear pain or loss, then our lives will be
empty, our loss greater.

arrives and give it away when it comes to you.

Do you want me to tell you something really subversive?
Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people
are so cynical about it ... It really is worth fighting
for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble
is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.
- Lee Iacocca
Real love is a pilgrimage. It happens when there is no strategy,

If you don't pay attention to what you love, you could overlook
your greatest gifts! That love is the surefire indicator
of hidden gifts, and it is the only way to find them. Gifts often

fooled into thinking that they don't exist.
- Barbara Sher

Love is not something you feel. It's something you do.

When you're in the grip of frustration, love can seem pretty much
out of the question. Care is going to be a stretch. But
appreciation is easy—even if it starts out kind of snide like,
"I appreciate the fact I haven't fallen flat on my face ...
yet." After a couple of stabs at it, you're going to stumble
across one that sincerely touches you. Maybe it's your friends,
your partner, your loved ones. One strong dose of appreciation
can turn your perceptions around 180 degrees.
- Doc Childre and Howard Martin
There is no disguise, which can hide love for long where it exists,

soften and purify the heart.
-Washington Irving
I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. But you can
stalk them & hope they panic & give in.
- Brandon Tikalsky
To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart
will certainly be wrung and probably be broken. If you want
to make sure of keeping intact, you must give your heart to
no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully around with hobbies
and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safely
in the casket of your selfishness. But in that casket --
safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not
be broken; it will become impenetrable,
irredeemable . . . The only place outside heaven where you
can be perfectly safe from all the dangers of love, is hell.
- C.S. Lewis
I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden
to bear.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
We will only be at peace when the power of love conquers

There are only four questions of value in life, Don Octavio.
What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth
living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each
is the same: only love.

Love cures people - both the ones who give it and the ones
who receive it.
- Dr. Karl Menninger
One must learn to love, and go through a good deal of suffering
to get to it, like any knight of the grail, and the journey
is always towards the other soul, not away from it... To
love you have to learn to understand the other, more than
she understands herself, and to submit to her
understanding
of you. It is damnably difficult and painful, but it is the
only thing which endures.
-D. H. Lawrence
After the verb 'to love', 'to help' is the most beautiful

We've got to learn there are going to be hard things in our
lifetime, but it's love that gives you the strength. It's being

than anything, hopefully every single day of your life.

Take time to work, it is the price of success.
Take time to think, it is the source of power.
Take time to play, it is the secret of perpetual youth.
Take time to read, it is the foundation of wisdom.
Take time to be friendly, it is the road to happiness.
Take time to dream, it is hitching your wagon to a star.
Take time to love & be loved, it is the privilege of the gods.
Take time to look around, it is too short a day to be selfish.
Take time to laugh, it is the music of the soul.
- Old English Prayer

Westley: There will never be a need

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because
we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies
of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of
illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings,
of tarnishings.
- Anais Nin (1903-77)
Love is whatever you can still betray ... Betrayal can only
