13 Quotes: Thoughts for Valentine's Day
At different stages in our lives, the signs of love may vary:
dependence, attraction, contentment, worry, loyalty, grief, but at
heart the source is always the same. Human beings have the rare
capacity to connect with each other, against all odds.
-- Michael Dorris
For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it.
For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it.
For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.
-- Ivan Panin
Love all. Trust a few. Do wrong to none.
-- William Shakespeare
