Unless we love and are loved, each of us is alone, each of us is deeply lonely.

We love even when our love is not requited.

It is love rather than sexual lust or unbridled sexuality if, in addition to the need or want involved, there is also some impulse to give pleasure to the persons thus loved and not merely to use them for our own selfish pleasure.

When we ask for love, we don't ask others to be fair to us-but rather to care for us, to be considerate of us. There is a world of difference here between demanding justice... and begging or pleading for love.

Love without conversation is impossible.

Love wishes to perpetuate itself. Love wishes for immortality.
