Bible Quote

 "Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. [Colossians 3:2]"

Sir John Lubbock Quote

 "Don't be afraid of showing affection. Be warm and tender, thoughtful and affectionate. Men are more helped by sympathy than by service. Love is more than money, and a kind word will give more pleasure than a present."

Jean Baptiste Lacordaire Quote

"The affections are like lightning: you cannot tell where they will strike till they have fallen."

What is Love?

Our favorite description of love is from the movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin:
(Iannis to Pelagia)
 When you fall in love, it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake, and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots are become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the desire to mate every second of the day. It is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every part of your body. No... don't blush. I am telling you some truths. For that is just being in love; which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over, when being in love has burned away... (Iannis to Pelagia) Note: there are two versions of this quote, one from the book and a slightly different version from the movie.
