LOVE NEVER DIES A NATURAL DEATH
"Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings."
Anais Nin
ANXIETY
"Anxiety is love's greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic."
Anais Nin
LOVE IS...

DESIRE
“Love is the irresistible desire to be desired irresistibly.”

YOU NEED OTHERS

Leo Buscaglia
IT IS BETTER
"It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."

QUESTIONS OF VALUE
"There are four questions of value in life... What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love."
Johnny Depp
WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY
"You have to forget about what other people say, when you're supposed to die, or when you're supposed to be loving. You have to forget about all these things."
Jimi Hendrix
JEALOUSY
"A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything.
Jealousy is invariably a symptom of neurotic insecurity."
Robert Heinlein
TO LOVE IS TO SUFFER
"To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness."
Woody Allen
LOVE MONEY AND HEALTH
"Young men wish: love, money and health.
One day, they'll say: health, money and love."
Paul Geraldy
KINDNESS
"Kindness in words creates confidence.
Kindness in thinking creates profoundness.
Kindness in giving creates love."
Lao Tzu
TO FEAR LOVE
"To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead."
Bertrand Russell
THE PERFECT LOVE
"We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love."
Tom Robbins
