Love is life itself, but not unreasonable, suffering and perishing life, but blissful and endless life. Lev Tolstoy

The meaning and dignity of love as a feeling lies in the fact that it forces us, with our whole being, to recognize in another the unconditional central significance that, due to egoism, we feel only in ourselves. Love is important not as one of our feelings, but as a transfer of all our vital interest from ourselves to another, as a rearrangement of the very center of our personal life. This is characteristic of all love, but especially sexual love; it differs from other types of love by its greater intensity, more exciting nature, and the possibility of more complete and comprehensive reciprocity; only this love can lead to a real and inextricable union of two lives into one, only about it and in the word of God it is said: the two will become one flesh, that is, they will become one real being.

Passion is a constant hangover, without the harsh heaviness, it is eternal flowers under your feet. In front of you is an idol that you want to pray to and die for. Stones are falling on your head, and in your passion you think that roses are flying towards you, you will mistake the gnashing of teeth for music, blows from an expensive hand will seem more tender caresses mother.Ivan Goncharov

Infatuation and love are different things. You can fall in love with a person whom you don’t know at all - it’s romance, dizziness, eyes like stars... But you can’t love a person until you really get to know him, go through some trials with him, share with him life is both joy and sadness...
Falling in love cannot last forever, but sometimes love comes in return. Stan Barstow

Being loved for some merit because you “deserve” love always leaves room for doubt. What if the one from whom I expect love does not like this or that about me?

Francois de La Rochefoucauld.

Feeling our imperfection, we are always looking for someone who could complete us. When in a few years or months love affair We still feel like we're missing something, so we blame our partners for it and rush headlong into a new, more promising relationship.
