“In the beginning, the price of giving great love is risking that it won't be returned. Until you understand, of course, that great love is always returned. With interest.”

“All began in love, all seeks to return in love. Love isthe law, the teacher of wisdom, and the great revealer of mysteries.”

“If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it was, and always will be yours. If it never returns, it was never yours to begin with.”

“Obsession is an addiction you may never shake free of. It just… holds you and never gives anything in return. But love, you can give all you’ve got to love and it always gives you back more. That’s how you can tell the difference between the two. I know that now.” --Robyn Hannaford from The Great Northern Coven”

“And then there are the rare ones who know love, who understand it. Who freely give of themselves, demanding only a return of that love,that trust.”

“to love is to risk, not being loved in return. to hope is to risk pain. to try is to risk failure. but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in my life is to risk nothing.”
