When speaking of love, and suffering a broken heart, the student said, 'You can't drown if you vow to never swim again.' To which the master replied, 'You will also never choke if you don't eat.'

Imagine what the world could be if we were on the offense with love instead of on the defense with hate.

Love is: Bringing a blanket when someone's asleep. Giving the last piece of food to the other person. Staying awake to listen to them when you are dead tired. Hugging them tightly when they need it the most.

It's called 'falling in love' for a reason: it does not have to be forced and cannot be planned. It just happens naturally, and if you're lucky, it takes you by surprise.

In love, be willing to fight for them, but never compete.

I loved her as the sun loves the flower: ever-present, nourishingly, and gently.

In love swallow your pride but never your dignity.
