    What is love? Love is when you care more about someone else than you care about yourself.

      If we 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 stammer that they loved them.

        If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give.

          love is,
          when there are no winds
          that can blow
          how it is you feel
          away,
          when they blow
          and it stays
          then you know
          love,
          will be with you always

        "We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep on watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it."

              just a few lines that for me help explain that loss,

              I will wait,
              and keep no distance from my heart
              there are dreams to have
              then loves thoughts will be my home
              and I will wait, and in waiting know
              love is not, cannot be distant
              for home is my love

                The more you are motivated by love, the more fearless and free your actions will be.

                  Perhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in love represent a normal state. Being in love shows a person who he should be.

                    In 'Loves Labour Lost' Shakespeare has Berowne say :
                    Then when we see ourselves in ladies eyes,
                    Do we not likewise see our learning there?

    Love

    Are you fleeing from Love because of a single humiliation?
    What do you know of Love except the name?
    Love has a hundred forms of pride and disdain,
    and is gained by a hundred means of persuasion.
    Since Love is loyal, it purchases one who is loyal:
    it has no interest in a disloyal companion.
    The human being resembles a tree; its root is a covenant with God:
    that root must be cherished with all one's might.
    A weak covenant is a rotten root, without grace or fruit.
    Though the boughs and leaves of the date palm are green,
    greenness brings no benefit if the root is corrupt.
    If a branch is without green leaves, yet has a good root,
    a hundred leaves will put forth their hands in the end.


    Rumi

      Wm Shakespeare has Orsino say this in Twelfth Night re Viola and Sebastian;
      "One face, one voice,one habit,and two persons!
      A natural perspective , that is, and is not"

    Love is often described, yet undescribable.

    Love is sought after, yet is inside us at all times.

    Love is the most feared of all emotions, yet is the healer of all hurts.

    Love just Is.

      love is........just one of those things

      I have loved for love
      given my soul for love,
      carved a name for love
      wept for love,
      lost my heart for love

      I have done this…all for love
      but have never lusted for love
      for there is never love …in lust

          On Love : The BBC(UK) have done some new adaptations of Shakespeare.The Beatrice in 'Much Ado about Nothing' was to my mind an inspired choice, also the casting of 'Hero' was its equal.
          Shakespeare has Beatrice say this about Benedick jilting her (to Don Pedro)
          Bea.Indeed, my lord he lent it me awhile,and I gave him use for it,a double heart for his single one.Marry,once before he won it of me with false dice,therefore your grace may well say I have lost it

      Wm Shakespeare writes in sonnet 18,"Shall I compare thee to a summers day" and one might say that this is a great declaration of love, and it is so.But the ending of that sonnet says it all for me on love...
      "So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
      So long lives this, and gives life to thee"
