“Love is when you care more about something else than you do about yourself.”

“When you care more if someone else lives than you do about yourself- is that what [love is]?”

“Suddenly, I understand what Petra has always been trying to tell me. The whole time she was mumbling her litany of stories, she was always only telling me one thing. Love is when you care more about something else than you do about yourself.”

“Love for me means that someone likes my way of thinking about life and the same philosophy about living. Love is not a prisoner but it makes you realize that you care about this person more than anyone else.”

“Love comes when manipulation stops when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully.”

“Someone will care if you just give 'em a chance. There's always people who need you as much as you need them. Don't you forget that. All you got to do is find 'em. And when you do, you find you're happier carin' about someone else than just about yourself all the time.”
