All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon sand. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, O Magazine, February 2004 Love is everything it's cracked up to be… It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. Erica Jong, O Magazine, February 2004 When love is in excess it brings a man no honor nor worthiness. Euripides (484 BC - 406 BC), Medea, 431 B.C. There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness. Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900), "On Reading and Writing" What else is love but understanding and rejoicing in the fact that another person lives, acts, and experiences otherwise than we do…? Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956) There is no remedy for love but to love more. Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862), Journal, July 25, 1839 Just because you love someone doesn't mean you have to be involved with them. Love is not a bandage to cover wounds. Hugh Elliott, Standing Room Only weblog, February 16, 2004 Passion makes the world go round. Love just makes it a safer place. Ice T, The Ice Opinion Love is the difficult realization that something other than oneself is real. Iris Murdoch (1919 - 1999) We can only learn to love by loving. Iris Murdoch (1919 - 1999), O Magazine, February 2004 When you have seen as much of life as I have, you will not underestimate the power of obsessive love. J. K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, 2005 Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love. Jane Austen (1775 - 1817), Northanger Abbey I cannot think well of a man who sports with any woman's feelings; and there may often be a great deal more suffered than a stander-by can judge of. Jane Austen (1775 - 1817), Mansfield Park I pay very little regard... to what any young person says on the subject of marriage. If they profess a disinclination for it, I only set it down that they have not yet seen the right person. Jane Austen (1775 - 1817), Mansfield Park The enthusiasm of a woman's love is even beyond the biographer's. Jane Austen (1775 - 1817), Mansfield Park

"Love me without fear / Trust me without questioning / Need me without demanding / Want me without restrictions / Accept me without change / Desire me without inhibitions." - **** Sutphen "There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved." -George Sands

A frog in love would not be enchanted to learn that her beloved had turned into Prince Charming. --Mason Cooley
