"The leaves believe such letting go is love, such love is faith, such faith is grace, such grace is God. I agree with the leaves."

– Lucille Clifton

The Lesson of the Falling Leaves

​

"To truly love we must learn to mix various ingredients — care, affection, recognition, respect, commitment, and trust, as well as honest and open communication."

– Bell Hooks

All About Love

​

​"You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting, and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”

– Bob Marley
