9. "Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
- Louis de Bernieres
8. "If a hug represented how much I loved you, I would hold you in my arms forever."
- Mandy Hampton
7. "You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly."
- Sam Keen
6. "Falling in love is not at all the most stupid thing that people do but gravitation cannot be held responsible for it."
- Albert Einstein
5. "Sometimes your nearness takes my breath away; and all the things I want to say can find no voice. Then, in silence, I can only hope my eyes will speak my heart."
- Robert Sexton
4. "True love stories never have endings."
- Richard Bach
3. "I love you, not only for what you are, But for what I am when I am with you."
- Roy Croft
2. "Love is the irresistible desire to be desired irresistibly."
- Robert Frost
1. "You know you are in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams."
- Dr. Seuss
