QUOTES ON LOVE
"The God of Love lives in the state of need" (Plato)
"Love is not only something you feel, it is something you do" (David Wilkerson)
"A woman knows the face of the man she loves as a sailor knows the open sea." (Honore de Balzac)
"You can't blame gravity for falling in love"
(Albert Einstein)
"Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired" (Robert Frost)
FIRST LOVE
No one ever forgets their first love. Psychologists have discovered the reason it's often difficult to get over a first love may have more to do with chemicals than emotions. Along with heightened levels of hormones, there is also a great increase in oxytocin released with our first intense love experience, the same hormone that aids mother-and-child bonding following birth.
First love makes a deep and indelible impression upon the heart and the soul.

Johnny Cash wishes wife June Carter Cash a happy 65th birthday (written 1994)
"Happy Birthday Princess,
We get old and we get use to each other. We think alike. We read each others minds. We know what the other wants without asking. Sometimes we irritate each other a little bit. Maybe sometimes we take each other for granted.
But once in awhile, like today, I meditate on it and realize how lucky I am to share my life with the greatest woman I ever met. You still fascinate and inspire me. You influence me for the better. You're the object of my desire, the #1 earthly reason for my existence. I love you very much."
