On Love

We have all loved, and been in love at some point in our lives. Was it as beautiful, as wonderful as we expected and imagined? Probably only briefly. As with everything else, love loses its magic after a while. And if lovers do not keep rekindling the fire, love will die.

Love is an emotion, and emotions can be controlled. Rein in your emotions. A sensible, practical attitude, and approach will allow you to enjoy this warm, fuzzy feeling call love, be it in giving or receiving – again and again.

Loving someone who doesn’t love you is like waiting for a ship at the airport. - Unknown

Only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love. - George Eliot

One can still be in love at an old age without being ridiculous. It is at this age that one most needs one’s heart warmed up again. - Unknown

Never leave things unsaid with the one you love because you will never know if you will ever have another chance to say them. - Unknown

There is no feeling more comforting and consoling than knowing you are right next to the one you love. - Oscar Wilde

Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not said, most of love is lost. - Khalil Gibran

Maybe love isn’t what we’ve been told. Maybe it’s not all romance or attraction. Maybe love is a friend. Someone who understands you. Someone who’ll be there for you… even at your worst. - R. M. Drake

When we lose one we love, our bitterest tears are called forth by the memory of hours when we loved not enough. - Maurice Maeterlinck

Just because two people argue, it does not mean they do not love each other. And just because they do not argue, it does not mean they do. - Jiddu Krishnamurti

When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain. - Mark Twain

It is difficult to know at what moment love begins; it is less difficult to know that it has begun. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Love is the free exercise of choice. Two people love each other only when they are quite capable of living without each other but choose to live with each other. - M. Scott Peck
