"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit."
Albert Schweitzer


"Love is a symbol of eternity.  It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end."
Author Unknown


"A bell is no bell
'til you ring it,
A song is no song
'til you sing it,
And love in your heart
Wasnít put there to stay –
Love isn't love
'Til you give it away."
Oscar Hammerstein
Sound of Music


"Love has no desire but to fulfill itself. To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving. "
Kahlil Gibran


"Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence."
Eric Fromm


"The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved - loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves."
Victor Hugo
