Sympathy constitutes friendship but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole.

Love is the power to see similarity in the dissimilar.

If thou must love me, let it be for naught except for love's sake only.

Take away love and our earth is a tomb.

Love is the word used to label the sexual excitement of the young, the habituation of the middle-aged, and the mutual dependence of the old.
