Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.

The planter, the farmer, the mechanic, and the laborer... form the great body of the people of the United States, they are the bone and sinew of the country men who love liberty and desire nothing but equal rights and equal laws.

You don't walk away if you love someone. You help the person.

Love is union with somebody, or something, outside oneself, under the condition of retaining the separateness and integrity of one's own self.

Where love rules, there is no will to power and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.
