Karen Salmansohn Quotes

Being in love is all about the ability to give rather than take. It is not easy, but if you can accept this, then you will experience love.

Love is something in the heart and in the mind, so why would you chastise anyone for that? And this is something that I feel very strongly about.

If you have feelings for someone, be honest with yourself and the person you care about, but trust that there is someone out there who will love you for who you are and will stay by your side.
