the soul, and feeling is truth....Matt Zotti.

Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think
more about the other person than about his or her
reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully.
When you dare to be vulnerable....Dr. Joyce Brothers.
October 3, 2000
Once in an age God sends to some of us a friend,
who loves not a false imagining, an unreal character in us;
but looking through all the rubbish of our imperfections,
loves in us the divine ideal of our natures -- not the
man that we are, but the angel that we may be....Stowe.

Love is the beauty of the soul....St. Augustine.
October 5, 2000

to cause the birth of love....Stendhal.
October 6, 2000
To love is not a passive thing. To love is active voice.
When I love I do something, I function, I give. I do not
love in order that I may be loved back again, but for the
creative joy of loving. And every time I do so love I am freed,
at least a little, by the outgoing of love, from enslavement
to that most intolerable of master, myself....Bernard Iddings Bell.
October 7, 2000
Because of a great love, one is courageous....Lao Tsu.

and all healthy instinct for it....Samuel Butler.

a heart burning with love....Mother Teresa.
October 19, 2000

but in love, the eyes do....Unknown.
October 25, 2000
Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet
understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving.
It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less
than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses....Ann Landers.
October 26, 2000
The quickest way to receive love is to give;
the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly;
and the best way to keep love is to give it wings....Unknown.
October 27, 2000
For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it.
For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it.
For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it....Ivan Panin.
October 28, 2000
Love is the child of freedom,
never that of domination....Erich Fromm.
October 29, 2000
Love is an instinct and hence beyond mind's control.
Love is an emotion and works always with motion....Unknown.
October 30, 2000
When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart,"
but rather, "I am in the heart of God." And think
not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it
finds you worthy, directs your course....Unknown.
October 31, 2000
If you have reasons for loving someone, then you
are using your mind, but if you love someone for
no reason, then you are using your heart....Unknown.
November 1, 2000
Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others,
and the delight in the recognition....Alexander Smith.
November 2, 2000
Our love must not be a thing of words and fine talk.
It must be a thing of action and sincerity....I John 3:18.
November 3, 2000
There is no remedy for love but to love more....Thoreau.

power and there is no darkness it cannot dispel....Meher Baba.
November 5, 2000
He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser,

virtues it possesses....Ralph Waldo Emerson.
November 6, 2000
Life is to be fortified by many friendships. To love and to
be loved is the greatest happiness of existence....Sydney Smith.

Love is only the game that is not called
on account of darkness....M. Hirschfield.
November 8, 2000
We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant.
You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think
it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it.
You've got to really look after it and nurture it....John Lennon.
November 9, 2000
An act of love that fails is just as much a part of the
divine life as an act of love that succeeds, for love is
measured by fullness, not by reception....Harold Loukes.
November 10, 2000
It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship
and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual
affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will
not be created for years or even generations....Kahlil Gibran.
November 12, 2000
Love is what happens to men and women who
don't know each other....W. Somerset Maugham.
November 13, 2000
You know what's the most terrifying thing about admitting
that you're in love? You're just naked. You put yourself
in harm's way and you lay down all your defenses. No clothes,
no weapons. Nowhere to hide, completely vulnerable. The only
thing that makes it tolerable is to believe the other person
loves you back and you can trust him not to hurt you....Unknown.
November 14, 2000
We all want to fall in love. Why? Because that experience makes us
feel completely alive. Where every sense is heightened, every emotion
is magnified, our everyday reality is shattered and we are flying
into the heavens. It may only last a moment, an hour, an afternoon.
But that doesn't diminish its value. Because we are left with
memories that we treasure for the rest of our lives....Unknown.
November 15, 2000
A friend is someone who sees through you
and still enjoys the view....Wilma Askinas.
November 16, 2000
Love is not what we become but who we already are....Stephen Levine.
November 17, 2000
It is difficult for some people to accept that love is
a choice. This seems to run counter to the generally accepted
theory of romantic love which expounds that love is inborn
and as such requires no more than to accept it. This theory
believes that love is a magical force which frees us from all
suffering and solves every problem, that it is an end unto
itself. To a limited extent, there may be some truths to each
of these beliefs, but having the capacity to love is not
the same as having the ability to love....Leo Buscaglia.
November 18, 2000
Joy is a net of love that captures souls....Mother Teresa.
November 19, 2000
The most important thing in life is to learn how to
give out LOVE, and to let it come in....Morrie Schwartz.

When we love something it is of value to us, and when
something is of value to us we spend time with it, time
enjoying it and time taking care of it....M. Scott Peck.
November 21, 2000
Love is not some complex, mystical abstraction. It is something
accessible and human that we learn through our everyday experience,
as often at times of failure as in moments of ecstasy....Leo Buscaglia.
November 22, 2000
Real beauty lies in the spiritual accord that is called love
which can exist between a man and a woman....Kahlil Gibran.
November 24, 2000
The majority of us lead quiet, unheralded lives as we pass through
this world. There will most likely be no ticker-tape parades for us,
no monuments created in our honor. But that does not lessen our possible
impact, for there are scores of people waiting for someone just like us
to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our unique
talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took
the time to share what we had to give. Too often we underestimate the
power of a touch, a smile, a kind word a listening ear, an honest
compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have a potential
to turn a life around. It's overwhelming to consider the continuous
opportunities there are to make our love felt....Leo Buscaglia.
November 25, 2000
Love is a force that connects us to every strand of
the universe, an unconditional state that characterizes
human nature, a form of knowledge that is always there for
us if only we can open ourselves to it....Emily Hilburn Sell.
November 26, 2000
If you open your heart, love opens your mind....Unknown.
November 27, 2000
Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like a volcano and then
subsides and when it subsides you have to make a decision.
You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined
together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part,
because this is what love is. Love is not the breathlessness,
it is not excitement, it is not the promise of eternal passion,
and it is not the desire to mate every minute or every second of
the day. That is just being "in love" which any fool can do...
love itself is what's left over when being in love has burned away,
and this both and art and a fortunate accident....Louis De Bernieres.
November 29, 2000
True love is the unearned compliment,
the gift forever giving....Burke Day.
November 30, 2000
Sometimes we are to guard our heart...protect it from invasion and
keep things safe and secure. Sometimes we should give our heart...
let certain qualities out and release them to others....Charles Swindoll.

Friendship
There's a miracle of friendship
That dwells within the heart
And you don't know how it happens
Or where it gets its start
But the happiness it brings you
Always gives a special lift
And you realize that friendship is
God's most perfect gift....Unknown.
December 27, 2000
All our young lives we search for someone to love.
Someone who makes us complete. We choose partners
and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak
and hope...all the while wondering if Only your real
friends tell you when your face is dirty....Sicilian Proverb.
December 28, 2000
"I don't think I'm going to meet my wife at the Sky Bar,"
he says referring to a Sunset Strip nightspot. "I hope I don't.
My father told me the right girl for me is going to be sitting
in the corner talking to somebody. It's not the girl in the
middle of the room making everyone laugh"....Matthew Perry.
December 29, 2000
Once in a while you meet someone and soon you discover
the two of you are truly something special to each other...
you share your thoughts and feelings so relaxed, so openly,
and right away you knew your friendship's meant to be....Gary Harrington.
December 30, 2000
Love is like a jigsaw puzzle: you're given all the pieces,
but you must have the patience to fit them together....Unknown.
December 31, 2000
A friend is somebody you want to be around when
you feel like being by yourself....Barbara Burrow.
