Love withers under constraints: its very essence is liberty: it is compatible neither with obedience, jealousy, nor fear: it is there most pure, perfect, and unlimited where its votaries live in confidence, equality and unreserve.
~Percy Bysshe Shelley.
The arms of love encompass you with your present, your past, your future, the arms of love gather you together.
~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Southern Mail, 1929, translated from French by Curtis Cate.
Love in action is a harsh and dreadful thing compared with love in dreams.
~ Fyodor Dostoevski.
True love is a discipline in which each divines the secret self of the other and refuses to believe in the mere daily self.
~ William Butler Yeats.
