Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.
~Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does 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 perseveres.
Love never fails.
~ I Corinthians 13:4-8

When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.
~HH the Dalai Lama

When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.
~Jimi Hendrix

I love you
Not only for what you are
But for what I am
When I am with you
Love (first stanza)
~Roy Croft

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
~Rumi

The bottom line is that (a) people are never perfect, but love can be, (b) that is the one and only way that the mediocre and vile can be transformed, and (c) doing that makes it that. We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love.
~Tom Robbins
