The greatest tragedy of life is not that men perish,
but that they cease to love.

~ by W. Somerset Maugham ~

~ Love cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil of another's heart, or its flame burns low.

~ by Henry Ward Beecher ~

True love begins when nothing is looked for in return.

~ by Antoin De Saint-Exupery

This prickly air cactus is blooming in my kitchen window    

The most powerful symptom of love is a tenderness which becomes at times almost insupportable.

Victor Hugo ~
