"Love....a universal yet unfathomable emotion...there is no book, theory, philosophy, or person in the world that can give an absolute definition of what love is, no pathophysiology to explain how it happens, no model or theory to understand its implications, that seem, just like that mysterious emotion, to go beyond boundaries and horizons. However, one characteristic of love is that, whether it revolves around others or centers on the self, its manifestation is selfishness, and it is, in its own way, selfish, because to be carried away by love, and to do acts for the one you love as a result of having been carried away, brings happiness to the self. Why then, is there such a term as 'selfless love'? The very beauty of love is that it is one of the few, probably the only, selfish emotion that brings good to others." <this entered my head while talking with JC>

"Love is the most powerful thing existing. Love is God, bringing people together, binding them by flesh, by soul, enlivening their hearts, defying reason...A man and woman making can experience God leading to the creation of life. Love is power, growth, change and transformation."
