“Falling in love is something that happens to us, being is love is something we do. No passion is self preservatory.”
“To write requires passionate love of someone or something - even if it is merely self.”
“Believing in God is as much like falling in love as it is making a decision. Love is both something that happens to you and something you decide upon.”
“When we fall in love the first time, we don't know anything. We risk a lot less than we do if we choose to love again. There is something extraordinary about the first time falling.”
“The object of love is not getting something you want but doing something for the well-being of the one you love.”
“Unless love is passion, it's not love, but something else; and passion thrives not on satisfaction, but on impediment.”
