This is the
miracle that happens every time to those who really love;
the more they give, the more they possess.
-- Rainer Maria Rilke
1875-1926, German Poet
For one human
being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of
all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the
work for which all other work is but preparation.
-- Rainer Maria Rilke
1875-1926, German Poet
The bottom
line is that (a) people are never perfect, but love can be,
(b) that is the one and only way that the mediocre and vile
can be transformed, and (c) doing that makes it that. We
waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of
creating the perfect love.
-- Tom Robbins
American Author
Love is not
love until love's vulnerable.
-- Theodore Roethke
1908-1963, American Poet
