"Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own."

~Robert Heinlein - "Stranger in a Strange Land"



"Your love is located within you. It is yours to nurture and savor, to give to others in any way you choose. Love must be without qualifications or demands. You must learn to find ecstasy in other peoples' happiness. Once you feel love for yourself, it is quite normal to give it away."

~Dr. Wayne Dyer



"You know you're in love when you can't go to sleep because reality is better than your dreams." ~Theodor Geisel aka Dr. Seuss
