It is here, my
daughters, that love is to be found -- not hidden away in
corners but in the midst of occasions of sin. And believe
me, although we may more often fail and commit small lapses,
our gain will be incomparably the greater.
-- St. Teresa of Avila
1515-1582, Spanish Saint,
Mystic
True love
grows by sacrifice and the more thoroughly the soul rejects
natural satisfaction the stronger and more detached its
tenderness becomes.
-- St. Theresa of Lisieux
1873-1897, French Saint
We really have
to understand the person we want to love. If our love is
only a will to possess, it is not love. If we only think of
ourselves, if we know only our own needs and ignore the
needs of the other person, we cannot love.
-- Thich Nhat Hanh
Vietnamese Buddhist Monk,
Teacher
Love must be
as much a light, as it is a flame.
-- Henry David Thoreau
