    Vera Nazarian
    “Love is made up of three unconditional properties in equal measure:

    1. Acceptance
    2. Understanding
    3. Appreciation

    Remove any one of the three and the triangle falls apart.

    Which, by the way, is something highly inadvisable. Think about it — do you really want to live in a world of only two dimensions?

    So, for the love of a triangle, please keep love whole.”

    Dianne Rosena Jones
    “God has brought a very wise Japanese lady into my life who lives in Calif. We've never met, but she has shared a tremendous amount of wisdom with me concerning unconditional love within relationships. Here is one of the things she said to me this evening when we were discussing "Soul Mates."

    "Soul mates aren't perfect people. They can come into your life and provide polar emotional experiences from intense love to intense pain. Growth comes from both. And a soul mate helps you grow. It isn't just "...and they lived happily ever after" but "...and they lived!" ~ From my mentor ~ Lori Chidori Phillips”

    Arundhati Roy
    “But what was there to say?

    Only that there were tears. Only that Quietness and Emptiness fitted together like stacked spoons. Only that there was a snuffling in the hollows at the base of a lovely throat. Only that a hard honey-colored shoulder had a semicircle of teethmarks on it. Only that they held each other close, long after it was over. Only that what they shared that night was not happiness, but hideous grief.

    Only that once again they broke the Love Laws. That lay down who should be loved. And how. And how much.”

    “What happens to the drop of wine
    That you pour into the sea?
    Does it remain itself, unchanged?
    It is as if it never existed.
    So it is with the soul: Love drinks it in,
    It is united with Truth,
    Its old nature fades away,
    It is no longer master of itself.

    The soul wills and yet does not will:
    Its will belongs to Another.
    It has eyes only for this beauty;
    It no longer seeks to possess, as was its wont--
    It lacks the strength to possess such sweetness.
    The base of this highest of peaks
    Is founded on nichil,
    Shaped nothingness, made one with the Lord.”
