“The heart will turn to a prune if love is always by the numbers. How will you know if someone really loves you if they only meet your expectations and not your needs?”

“When you love someone, it doesn't really matter if they love you back or not. Having love in your heart for someone is its own reward. or punishment, depending on the circumstances.”

“With the right person, you will experience someone who is able not only to accept, but also to love the truth of you and meet your needs because it brings them pleasure to do so.”

“Sometimes you know in your heart you love someone, but you have to go away before your head can figure it out.”

“You know when you give your love away
it opens your heart,
everything is new.
And you know time will always find a way
to let your heart believe it's true.”

“I realized how truly hard it was, really, to see someone you love change right before your eyes. Not only is it scary, it throws your balance off as well.”

“But I also meant that loving someone really opening your heart to them is just asking to have your heart smashed and handed back to you in little pieces.”

“Love is not about concepts; love is about action. The only way to master love is to practice love. You don't need to justify your love, you don't need to explain your love; you just need to practice your love.”

“When you feel someone else's pain and joy as powerfully as if it were your own, then you know you really loved them.”

“Marcia: I love you, they love you, always sing from your heart.”
