Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by the removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder.
This disease, like caries and many other ailments, is prevalent only among civilized races living under artificial conditions;
barbarous nations breathing pure air and eating simple food enjoy immunity from its ravages.
It is sometimes fatal, but more frequently to the physician than to the patient.
~ Ambrose Bierce ~

Love feels no burden,
thinks nothing of trouble,
attempts what is above its strength,
pleads no excuse of impossibility...
It is therefore able to undertake all things,
and it completes many things,
and warrants them to take effect,
where he who does not love would faint and lie down.
Love is watchful and sleeping, slumbereth not.
Though weary, it is not tired;
though pressed, it is not straitened;
though alarmed, it is not confounded...
~ Thomas A. Kempis ~

Love is missing someone whenever you're apart,
But somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in heart.
~ Kay Knudsen ~

I wish I could take what I'm feeling right now and put it in the water system so everybody could drink it and we would all love each other.
~ Jamie Foxx ~

You don't marry someone you can live with -
you marry the person who you cannot live without.
