Love can be unselfish, in the sense of being benevolent and generous, without being selfless. Mortimer Adler
This life, which had been the tomb of his virtue and of his honour, is but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.William Shakespeare
The god of love lives in a state of need. It is a need. It is an urge. It is a homeostatic imbalance. Like hunger and thirst, it’s almost impossible to stamp out.Plato
Love has no age, no limit; and no death.John Galsworthy
As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words.William Shakespeare
