I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for their religion -
I have shudder'd at it.
I shudder no more.
I could be martyr'd for my religion

Love is my religion
And I could die for that.
I could die for you.

I'd like to run away
From you,
But if you didn't come
And find me ...
I would die.

To be in love is merely to be
In a state of perpetual anesthesia:
To mistake an ordinary young man for a Greek god
Or an ordinary young woman for a goddess.
~ by H.L. Mencken ~

I love thee, I love but thee
With a love that shall not die
Till the sun grows cold
And the stars grow old.

I have loved to the point of madness;
That which is called madness,
That which to me,
Is the only sensible way to love.

Right in the middle of an ordinary life,
Love gives us a fairy tale.

You can give without loving,
But you cannot love without giving.

To melt and be like a running brook
That sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart
And give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer
For the beloved in your heart
And a song of praise upon your lips.
~ by Gibran Kahlil Gibran ~
-------------------------------------------
Husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his
wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he
feeds and cares for it .. For this reason a man will leave his father and
mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
~ by The Holy Bible, New International Version Ephesians 5:25-33 ~

If I go away
What would still remain of me?
The ghost within your eyes?
The whisper in your sighs?
You see...Believe
And I'm always there.

The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies, With the dying sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one;
Yet the light of a whole life dies, When love is done.
~ by Francis W. Bourdillon ~

True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure,
without violent demonstrations: it is seen with white hairs and is always
young in the heart.

The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His
heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away
if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other
inspiration.
~ by Pearl S. Buck ~
--------------------------------------------
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not
proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it
keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with
the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always
perseveres.
~ by 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 ~

For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth
there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart
somewhere to receive it.

A goal, a love and a dream give you total control over your body and your

Opposites attract, but after marriage, opposites attack. Most of the time,
we are attracted to people who don't have the things that we have.
Incompatibility is why we get married, but it's also used as a reason to
divorce.
Incompatibility is just a lack of communication. If we just try to love [our
spouse] the way we want to be loved, we are in trouble. Unless you
communicate, it's difficult to know how to love another person.

Love knows no reasons,
love knows no lies.
Love defies all reasons,
love has no eyes.
But love is not blind,
love sees but doesn't mind.

The most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of another human
being with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty and joy
as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two
human beings is a most marvellous thing; it cannot be found by looking
for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and
the most wonderful of all things in life.
~ by Sir Hugh Walpole ~
----------------------------------------------------
Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself
completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved
person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of
little love.

Love grows by giving. The love we give away is the only love we keep.
The only way to retain love is to give it away.

The most powerful symptom of love is a tenderness which becomes at
times almost insupportable.

True happiness and a fullness of joy can be found only in the tender and
intimate relationships of the family. However earnestly we may seek
success and happiness outside the home through work, leisure activities,
or large bank accounts, we will never be fully satisfied emotionally until
we develop deep and loving relationships.
~ by James J. Jones Ph.D. ~

The most precious possession that ever comes to a man in this world is a

From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to
heaven. And when two souls that are destined to be together find each
other, their streams of light flow together, and a single brighter light
goes forth from their united being.

Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find
that you are left holding only yourself.

The heart is the place where we live our passions. It is frail and easily
broken, but wonderfully resilient. There is no point in trying to deceive
the heart. It depends upon our honesty for its survival.
