Quote from Ayn Rand:
You know what you are actually in love with? Integrity. The impossible. The clean, consistent, reasonable, self-faithful, the all-of-one-style, like a work of art.

Leo Buscaglia
Responsibility of any kind can seem intimidating and for this reason man may often be afraid of truly deep relationships with other human beings. A relationship suggests to him the most extreme of responsibilities. It implies a burden, a restriction of freedom, seldom the converse. A student in love class, for instance, commented, “I’ve always been afraid of deep relationship because of the responsibility it seemed to impose. I was afraid of the demands it would make of me and I worried I wouldn’t be able to meet those demands. I was amazed to find that when I did get the courage to form a relationship, I actually became stronger. I acquired two minds instead of one, four hands, four arms, four legs, and another’s world. In joining forces with someone, I got twice the strength to grow, with twice as many alternatives. Now it’s easier for me to love others. I am stronger and I am less afraid.” He had discovered an important insight.
La Rochefoucauld
There is no disguise which can hide love for long where it exists, or simulate it where it does not.
Kahlil Gibran
And ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
Ayn Rand
To say 'I love you' one must know first how to say the 'I.'
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.
Walter Russell
Every man should be master of anything he does and should do it in a masterly manner, with love, no matter what it is, whether hard physical work, menial or boring work, or inspirational work.
Kahlil Gibran
Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy. For if you break bread with indifference, you bake bitter bread that feeds but half a man's hunger. And if you grudge the crushing of grapes, your grudge distils a poison in the wine. And if you sing though as angels, and love not the singing, you muffle man's ears to the voices of the day and the voices of the night.

Some love lasts a lifetime. True love last forever.
Saint-Exupery
Life has taught us that love doe not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.

So much of what we know of love we learn as home.
Ekhart Tolle
All the things that truly matter--beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace--arise from beyond the mind.
