Quotes on love

Below are a few quotes I've collected about love. There was a movement after the birth control pill came to be where women 'became liberated' and burned their bras. As we age, we have a movement inside ourselves where we burn our masks...burn our pasts...timidly at first...bravely soon thereafter and finally the peace comes. About the time we get comfortable living inside our own skin...along comes some hairy legged man who steals our heart and makes us start all over again! Life ain't always fair...

"Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and now we cannot live within."
-James Baldwin

"It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations."
-Kahlil Gibran

"The supreme happiness in life is the conviction that we are loved."
-Victor Hugo

"To fall in love is easy, even to remain in it is not difficult; our human loneliness is cause enough. But it is a hard quest worth making to find a comrade through whose steady presence one becomes steadily the person one desires to be."
-Anna Louise Strong
