Need we say it was not love,
Now that love is perished?

Love and faith are seen in works.
GERMAN PROVERB
Here is one of the most beautiful effects of love, its confidence not only in the present, but in the future as well.

In their confidence they bind themselves to one another, not for a day only, not even for a lifetime, but for eternity.

But of a beautiful, unheard-of kind
That is not in the world.

Love is a religion, and its rituals cost more than those of other religions. It goes by quickly and, like a street urchin, it likes to mark its passage by a trail of devastation.

Pere Goriot
If you want to fall in love, you can't hold everything in. You have to open up, take that risk. You'll be hurt sometimes, but if you don't, you'll never be happy. The one you find may not be the kind of woman you expected to fall in love with, but it wont matter, you'll love her for exactly what she is.
