“Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart, and the senses.” - Lao Tzu

“Being a family means you are a part of something very wonderful. It means you will love and be loved for the rest of your life.” - Lisa Weed
“Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.” - Erica Jong
“To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there.” - Barbara Bush
“A true romantic will break the rules for the right reasons. He will not conform to the ideals bestowed upon him by society. Instead, he will fight for a climate of freedom that allows him to pursue and obtain his heart's true yearning. He will appear incorrect in his upright form, but such perception only through the eyes of those traveling under the hypnotic notion of social paradigms. Do not judge he who is breaking the rules, rather try to understand his motivations. If his intent is pure then his fight is not in vain.” - Nicole Bonomi
“The simple lack of her is more to me than others’ presence.” - Edward Thomas

“I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be.” - Charles Dickens
“Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.” - James A. Baldwin
“It's still the same old story, A fight for love and glory, A case of do or die! The world will always welcome lovers As time goes by.” - Herman Hupfeld
