6. Kahlil Gibran...
“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.”

And Nietzsche...

"Love is not consolation. It is light."

...Come Aboard. We're expecting you.
Love, life's sweetest reward.
Let it flow, it floats back to you.

It's an open smile on a friendly shore.

28. One from The Great Bard:
Love sees not with eyes, but with the mind;
Therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.

For Deborah; not that you ain't gorgeous, honey.
