Quotations on love

Buddha

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

Les Miserables

To love another person is to see the face of God.

Acquainted With the Night

Robert Frost

I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain - and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.
I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,

But not to call me back or say good-bye;
And further still at an unearthly height,
luminary clock against the sky

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
I have been one acquainted with the night.
