It may help us, in those times of trouble, to remember that love is not only about relationship, it is also an affair of the soul.

And the heart that is soonest awake to the flowers is always the first to be touch'd by the thorns.

The devil...the prowde spirite...cannot endure to be mocked.

A friendship that like love is warm; A love like friendship, steady.

A soul mate is someone to whom we feel profoundly connected, as though the communication and communing that take place between us were not the product of intentional efforts, but rather a divine grace. This kind of relationship is so important to the soul that many have said there is nothing more precious in life.

Usually, the main problem with life conundrums is that we don't bring to them enough imagination

Love doesn't demand perfection, but it does ask you to give yourself with less reserve than you'd prefer.
