When Love comes it comes without effort, like perfect weather.
(Helen Yglesias, Family Feeling)
Faith is like love: neither can be forced.
(Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself,
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.
(Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet)
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O, no! It is an ever-fixed mark.
(William Shakespeare, Sonnet 116)
Love keeps out the cold better than a cloak.
