Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken.
***
If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket--safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.
***
The most eloquent silence; that of two mouths meeting in a kiss.
***
In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing.
***
I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.
***
Love works in miracles every day: such as weakening the strong, and stretching the weak; making fools of the wise, and wise men of fools; favouring the passions, destroying reason, and in a word, turning everything topsy-turvy
***
There are three kinds of love, - unselfish, mutual, and selfish. The unselfish love is of the highest kind. The lover only minds the welfare of the beloved and does not care for his own sufferings. In mutual love the lover not only wants the happiness of his beloved but has an eye towards his own happiness also. It is middling. The selfish love is the lowest. It only looks towards its own happiness, no matter whether the beloved suffers weal or woe.
***
Relationships of all kinds are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold on to some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost.

For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.

• Where words fail, action speaks. Where action fails, eyes speak. Where eyes fail, tears speak. And where everything fails, LOVE SPEAKS!
• Golden Facts of Life:-When someone loves U, u don't realise it...When U realise it, it's too late... U always luv the one who leaves U & leave the one who loves U.
Let luv be the guide to ur dreams, let luv be the light to ur heart, let ur luv be the reason why somebody else's heart still continues to beat.

Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse of impossibility... It is therefore able to undertake all things, and it completes many things, and warrants them to take effect, where he who does not love would faint and lie down. Love is watchful and sleeping, slumbereth not. Though weary, it is not tired; though pressed, it is not straitened; though alarmed, it is not confounded...

" Just because you know someone doesn't mean you love them, and just because you don't know people doesn't mean you can't love them.

" ~ Heather Grove
" Love... What is love? Love is to love someone for who they are, who they were, and who they will be" ~ Chris Moore
" When you smiled you had my undivided attention. When you laughed you had my urge to laugh with you. When you cried you had my urge to hold you. When you said you loved me, you had my heart forever."
" I love you for everything that you say and do. I love you for the happiness I feel when you are beside me. I love you because when you are near, the whole world is meaningful."

There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.

You know you are in love when you see the world in her eyes, and her eyes everywhere in the world.

Love is strong yet delicate. It can be broken. To truly love is to understand this.
*** To be in love is to respect this.

When you love someone, all your saved-up wishes start coming out.

Love is like a mountain, hard to climb, but once you get to the top the view is beautiful.

Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more it is willing to see less Love is like the sun coming out of the clouds and warming your soul

To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world
