"Select some sound hearts. Be careful not to bruise them with unfeeling words.
Take of milk of human kindness one heartful.
Add to this plenty of tact.
Warm the mixture with sympathy.
Do not let it get too hot at first, lest it only ferment mischief.
Knead with plenty of oil of unselfishness to make all smooth.
Beware of jars (lovely wording).
The mixture should be kept in a warm corner of the heart.
Years only serve to improve the flavour of friends thus preserved"

Dame Edna Everage

A Recipe for Happiness

In the end these things matter the most:
How well did you love? How fully did you love? How deeply did you learn to let go?

Traditional Buddhist Teaching

We honour water to clean and soothe our relationship that it may never thirst for love
Cherokee Prayer

There is nothing like a dream to create a future
Victor Hugo

The tragedy of love is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it
Anonymous

In the spring of love comes discovery,
In the summer of love comes strength,
In the fall of love comes contentment,
In the winter of love comes parting and sorrow.
Based on Medieval Celtic Rites

We all want to fall in love.
Why?
Because that experience makes us feel completely alive.
