Love is a popular romantic notion that leads to nothing but its own brand of misery.

Love is like water from the ocean." Damiana said. "You cannot empty it dry. Take bucket after bucket of water out of the Cormeon Sea, and there is still more water left than you could ever use up. That's what love's like.

We cannot go backward. We cannot erase time and events. But we can go forward, hand in hand, hope in our hearts and love lighting our way.

Sometimes we become what we see. Sometimes we take what we see and make it the model for what we refuse to become.

If love makes you sad, you acquire a little depth, a little compassion. If it makes you happy, you learn how to be joyous. Every relationship should color your soul to a certain degree, don't you think? Every friendship, every love affair - each one should build up the chambers of your heart the way a sea creature builds the chamber of his shell.

If mankind's greatest achievement is to produce more spaces for mankind to live in, I do not think I am so impressed.

Manufactured--synthetic--even virtual, if that is what you turned out to be--I would love you.
