Love is often nothing but a favorable exchange between two people who get the most of what they can expect, considering their value on the personality market.
I remember when I used to sit on hospital beds and hold people?s hands, people used to be shocked because they never seen this before. To me it was quite normal.
Love was as subtly caught, as a disease; But being got it is a treasure sweet, which to defend is harder than to get: And ought not be profaned on either part, for though ''Tis got by chance, ''Tis kept by art.
I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour; for a day, for a month, but I can give and I''m very happy to do that and I want to do that.
Love all that has been created by God, both the whole and every grain of sand. Love every leaf and every ray of light. Love the beasts and the birds, love the plants, love every separate fragment. If you love each fragment, you will understand the mystery of the whole resting in God.
You will find, as you look back upon your life, that the moments when you really lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.
