IST Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own. -Robert Heinlein Love is something eternal; the aspect may change, but not the essence. -Vincent van Gogh It is the things in common that make relationships enjoyable, but it is the little differences that make them interesting. -Todd Ruthman True love is when you put someone on a pedestal, and they fall - but you are there to catch them. -Anonymous Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove: O no! it is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worths unknown, although his height be taken. Loves not Times fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickles compass come: Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved. -William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)
