The life and love we create is the life and love we live. ~ Leo Buscaglia Love looks through a telescope; envy through a microscope. ~ Josh Billings The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration. ~ Pearl S. Buck Being deeply loved someone gives you strength, While loving someone deeply gives you courage. ~ Lao Tzu Things base and vile, holding no quantity, Love can transpose to form and dignity. Love looks not with the eye, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. ~ William Shakespeare I have never wanted to be one of those girls in love with boys who would not have me. Unrequited love-plain desperate aboveboard boy-chasing-turned you into a salesperson, and what you were selling was something he didn't want, could not use, would never miss. Unrequited love was deciding to be useless, and I could never abide uselessness ~ Elizabeth McCracken
