Perfect love is rare indeed - for to be a lover
will require that you continually have the subtlety
of the very wise, the flexibility of the child,
the sensitivity of the artist,
the understanding of the philosopher,
the acceptance of the saint,
the tolerance of the scholar and
the fortitude of the certain.
Leo Buscaglia

> We perceive when love begins and when it declines
> by our embarrassment when alone together.
> Jean de la Bruyere

Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such
a way as to complete and fulfill them,
for it alone takes them and joins them
by what is deepest in themselves.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Love is the big booming beat which covers up the noise of hate.
Margaret Cho.

All thoughts, all passions, all delights Whatever stirs this mortal frame
All are but ministers of Love And feed his sacred flame.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
