If it is your time, love will track you down like a cruise missile. -Lynda Barry
Only our love hath no decay;
This, no tomorrow hath, nor yesterday,
Running it never runs from us away,
But truly keeps his first, last, everlasting day. -John Donne
We always believe our first love is our last, and our last love our first. -George Whyte-Melville
We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person. -W. Somerset Maugham
Though we may think we know each other well, when we neglect feelings in a relationship, we neglect the deepest and most intimate part of ourselves... sharing feelings leads us to great closeness because feelings are very personal, the most intimate part of us. The sharing of a deep feeling is the greatest gift a human being can give to another. -Chuck Gallaghe
Henceforth there will be such a oneness between us- that when one weeps the other will taste salt. -Unknown
When love is accompanied wit deep intimacy, it raises us to the highest level of human experience. In this exalted space, we can surrender our egos, become vulnerable and know levels of joy and well-being unique among life experiences. We attain a glimpse of the rapture that can be ours. Boundaries are blurred, there are no limitations and we rejoice in union. We become one and, at the same time, both. -Leo Buscaglia, Born For Love
Oh, the miraculous energy that flows between two people who care enough to get beyond surfaces and games, who are willing to take the risks of being totally open, of listening, of responding with the whole heart. How much we can do for each other. -Alex Noble
One of the characteristics of love relationships that flower is a relatively high degree of mutual self-disclosure-- a willingness to let our partner enter into the interior of our private world and a genuine interest in the private world of that partner. Couples in love tend to show more of themselves to each other than to any other person. -Nathaniel Branden
Love simply cannot spring up without that self-surrender to each other. If either withholds the self, love cannot exist. -Dr. E. Stanley Jones
