"Love is a portion of the soul itself,
and it is of the same nature as the
celestial breathing of the atmosphere of paradise."

"Life is a flower of which love is the honey."

"The greatest happiness in life is the conviction that we are loved,
loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves."

"The reduction of the universe to a single being,
the expansion of a single being even to God, this is love."
~Victor Hugo~
