a collection of quotes to muse over since "Love is in the air" this time of year~
"Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained." -- C.S. Lewis
"Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." -- C.S. Lewis
"Love is love's reward. " --John Dryden
"Love is the beauty of the soul."-- Saint Augustine
"It is difficult to know at what moment love begins; it is less difficult to know that it has begun."-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
And of course, at the risk of being cliche', 1 Corinthians 13... although the Word is the best thing to quote.

i think the longfellow quote might be my favorite. I definately agree with it.
I plan to lock myself into a coffin of my own selfishness, or however he put it. I don't know, it's not so bad really.
