eternity." -- Soren Kierkegaard

Remember the truth that once was spoken:
To love another person is to see the face of God.

Love is patient, love is kind.  It soes not envy, it does not boast, it
is not proud.  It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily
angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil,
but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always
hopes, always perserveres.  Love never fails.  -- 1 Corinthians 13:4-13:8

Love, love is a verb.
Love is a doing word,
fearless on my breath.

"Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in gazing outward together in the same direction."  --Antoine De Saint-Exupery

tears fall on my breast! I will walk with you and be your support! Smile
and hope! I am Love! ... I am devine!"  -- from Andre Chenier

"To love is one of life's pure, irreducible epiphanies.  To love the one
true person who deserves that love is one of the  few absolute rewards
of being a human being, balancing all of the pain, loss, awkwardness,
loneliness, idiocy, compromise and cluminess that go with the human
condition."  -- Dan Simmons [balderized]

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments.  Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
--William Shakepeare, Sonnet 116

We cannot reason ourselves out of our basic irrationality. All we can

Love is like pi - natural[ly occuring], irrational, and very important.

To love someone deeply gives you strength. Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage.

Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.
