frankly Scarlet...I don't give a damn

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not evy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away...
And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13

"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love". ~ Neil Gaiman

It is in an eastern language, which means something like this....
"Who can extinguish the flame of a lamp ,
when the wind itself chooses to protect it,
becoming its glass shade(to protect the lamp from breeze extinguishing it),
since the lamp was lit by the Great one !"

In youth it was a way I had
To do my best to please
And change with every passing lad
To suit his therories.
But now I know the things I know
And do the things I do
And if you do not like me so
To hell my love with you. Dorothy Parker

There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.

I'm not sure if this counts but I found this on SPARROW.net.tc.
and it's my favorite.
"Love is the discovery,
of ourself in others,
and the delight of recognition."
