Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.
James Baldwin
In the end we discover that to love and let go can be the same thing.
Jack Kornfield
Each time you love, love as deeply as if it were forever – only, nothing is eternal.
Audre Lorde
Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you.
William Arthur Ward
We look forward to the time when the Power of Love will replace the Love of Power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace.
William E. Gladstone
Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart.
Washington Irving
I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.
Marilyn Monroe
