The loss of young first love is so painful that it borders on the ludicrous.

Love is like a virus. It can happen to anybody at any time.

I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels.

First love is first love, first marriage is first marriage, disappointment is disappointment.

love builds up the broken wall
and straigtens the crooked path.
love keeps the stars in the firmament
and imposes rhythm on te ocean tides
each of us is created of it
and i suspect
each of us was created for it

Love is that condition in the human spirit so profound that it empowers us to develop courage; to trust that courage and build bridges with it;
to trust those bridges and cross over them so we can attempt to reach each other.
