"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.
- Captain Corelli's Mandolin. "Love is the beauty of the soul."
--St. Augustine
"They said that if you are unable to sleep, it's because there's someone thinking about you...surely that person misses you.
That's why if you can't sleep, sorry, I can't help it."
Anonymous
Love is as much of an object as an obsession, everybody wants it, everybody seeks it, but few ever achieve it, those who do will cherish it, be lost in it, and among all, never... never forget it.
Curtis Judalet
Where love rules, there is no will to power; where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.
Carl Jung
"When you are in Love you can't fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams."
Dr Seuss
