True love is not a strong, fiery, impetuous passion. It is, on the contrary, an element calm and deep. It looks beyond mere externals, and is attracted by qualities alone. It is wise and discriminating, and its devotion is real and abiding.

Ellen G. White

I don't know what people are scared of. Maybe they think their children will be influenced, but I've got to tell you, I was raised by two heterosexuals. Everywhere I looked - heterosexuals. And they did not influence me. It's time we love people for who they are and let them love who they want.

Ellen DeGeneres

My heart might be bruised, but it will recover and become capable of seeing the beauty of life once more. It's happened before, it will happen again, I'm sure. When someone leaves, it's because someone else is about to arrive. I'll find love again.

Paulo Coelho

The saddest thing about love is that not only that it cannot last forever, but that heartbreak is soon forgotten.

William Faulkner

Love is an act of endless forgiveness. A tender look which becomes a habit.

Peter Ustinov

Love, you know, seeks to make happy rather than to be happy.
