Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
~Robert A. Heinlein
Love is the flower you've got to let grow.
~John Lennon
Love is like a friendship caught on fire.
~Bruce Lee
Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.
~Mother Teresa
Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end.
~Madame de Stael
Expressions of Love
“Love” has quite an array denotations and connotations. Throughout time, writers of music, poetry, and fiction have tried to capture its elusive nature in words. But, perhaps fine art is the creative avenue that can truly capture the essence of love and transmit it to the seeker.
