Love is the magician that pulls man out of his own hat, it makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place, it is the emblem of eternity: it confounds all notion of time: effaces all memory of a beginning, and all fear of an end. Take away love and our earth is a tomb. To love is to place our happiness in the happines of another. In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing. It is a metaphysical gravity, for it triumphs imagination over intelligence.Tr ­easure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your good health has vanished.

These are the strong words of a man who has known love....These are the kind of words that can move mountains, flood valleys, and make the heart beat faster....
