Love is a peculiar thing.

... there's a great strangeness about love. ... Yes, I'm very sure that love is the strangest thing in the world—much stranger than death—or—or just life.

Love is an odd thing. As odd a thing as there is.

Love is the Extremely difficult realization that something other than oneself is real

We’d hoped for love of a different kind, love that knew and forgave our human frailty but did not miniaturize our grander ideas of ourselves.

"Oh, what a love it was, utterly free, unique, like nothing else on earth! Their thoughts were like other people's songs.

They loved each other, not driven by necessity, by the "blaze of passion" often falsely ascribed to love. They loved each other because everything around them willed it, the trees and the clouds and the sky over their heads and the earth under their feet. Perhaps their surrounding world, the strangers they met in the street, the wide expanses they saw on their walks, the rooms in which they lived or met, took more delight in their love than they themselves did."

Oh, what a love it was, utterly free, unique, like nothing else on earth! Their thoughts were like other people's songs.

The thing about love is that we come alive in bodies not our own.

What else is love but understanding and rejoicing in the fact that another person lives acts and experiences otherwise than we do?

I thought love was only true in fairy tales Meant for someone else but not for me …

They loved each other greatly. Most people experience love, without noticing that there is anything remarkable about it.
To them - and this made them unusual - the moments when passion visited their doomed human existence like a breath of timelessness were moments of revelation, of even greater understanding of life and of themselves.

The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death.

Love doesn't always come in convenient packages.

Sometimes life is stranger than fiction, but sometimes it's incomparable in other ways. Sometimes it's heaven that the false fire of imagination could never capture.
