How bold one gets when one is sure of being loved! -Sigmund Freud

Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs, Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes, Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers' tears. What is it else? A madness most discreet, A choking gall and a preserving sweet. -Shakespeare (Romeo and Juliet)

So, fall asleep love, loved by me....for I know love, I am loved by thee. -Robert Browning

Love is most nearly itself when here and now cease to matter. -T.S. Eliot

Once in awhile, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale. -Unknown

There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life. -Federico Fellini

When we are together I stay awake all night
When I'm on my own I cannot sleep
Blessed be God for these two insomnias
And the difference between them.
-Rumi

Not less of love, but expanding
Of love beyond desire, and so liberation
From the Future as well as the past.
-T. S. Eliot - Little Gidding

There's such a thing as trying too hard
You got to sing like you don't need the money
Love like you'll never get hurt
You got to dance, dance, dance like nobody's watching
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work
-Susana Clark & Richard Leigh - Song: Come From The Heart

He who bends to himself a Joy
Doth the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the Joy as it flies
Lives in Eternity's sunrise.
-WIlliam Blake - Gnomic Verses

One word frees us of all the weight and pain in life. That word is love. -Sophocles
