Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love. The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread. Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.
Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense, a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end.
Shall we compare our hearts to a garden -
with beautiful blooms, straggling weeds,
swooping birds and sunshine, rain -
and most importantly, seeds.
Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
When you're in love you never really know whether your elation comes from the qualities of the one you love, or if it attributes them to her; whether the light which surrounds her like a halo comes from you, from her, or from the meeting of your sparks.
