Perhaps a cliché topic, love has been mused upon, dissected, and ultimately declared impossible to understand by the wisest of the ages. Yet, love's presence in life is undeniable. Regardless of the mystery involved, people continue to write, sing, act out love. While ten quotes hardly scratches the surface, at least it shines a light on the ever-changing face of love.
I have found the paradox that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
~ Mother Teresa
Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible - it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.
~ Barbara de Angelis
If we all discovered that we had only five minutes left to say all that we wanted to say, every telephone booth would be occupied by people calling other people to tell them that they loved them.

Absence diminishes little passions and increases great ones just as the wind blows out a candle and fans a fire.
~ La Rochefoucauld
Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.
~ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.
~ Leo Buscaglia
Love is metaphysical gravity.
~ R. Buckminster Fuller
Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
~ Henry Van Dyke
unlove's the heavenless hell and homeless home…lovers alone wear sunlight.
