There's no love like the first.

It was inevitable for people to try to create a sense of normalcy in a place where nothing was normal. It helped one get through the day, to add predictability to a life that was inherently unpredictable.

Love is a gift. You give love and that's where the joy is.

You're still alive. And that means you'll love and be loved...and in the end, nothing else really matters.

I don't know that love changes. People change. Circumstances change.
