Novelty is to love like bloom to fruit; it gives a luster which is easily effaced, but never returns.
Love is like a rose, the joy of all the earth.
Some say an army of horsemen, or infantry, A fleet of ships is the fairest thing On the face of the black earth, but I say It's what one loves.
Love is the hardest thing in the world to write about. So simple. You've got to catch it through details, like the early morning sunlight hitting the gray tin of the rain spout in front of her house. The ringing of a telephone that sounds like Beethoven's "Pastoral." A letter scribbled on her office stationery that you carry around in your pocket because it smells of all the lilacs in Ohio.
Every moment is made glorious by the light of love.
People are always beautiful when you love them.
