In love the paradox occurs that two beings become one and yet remain two.

The aim of life is to be fully born, though its tragedy is that most of us die before we are thus born.

Love is a decision, it is a judgment, it is a promise. If love were only a feeling, there would be no basis for the promise to love each other forever. A feeling comes and it may go. How can I judge that it will stay forever, when my act does not involve judgment and decision.
