Love Conquers All

"The heart has reasons that reason does not understand."

Blaise Pascal

"I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times, in life after life, in age after age forever."
Rabindranath Tagore

the wait

It seemed

like years

before

I picked

a bouquet

of kisses

off her mouth

and put them

into a dawn-colored vase

in

my

heart.

But

the wait

was worth it.

Because

I

was

in love.

Richard Brautigan

THROUGH LOVE all that is bitter will sweet

Through Love all that is copper will be gold.

Through Love all dregs will turn to purest wine

Through Love all pain will turn to medicine.

Through Love the dead will all become alive.

Through Love the king will turn into a slave!
Jalaluddin Rumi

"If I know what love is, it is because of you."
Herman Hesse

"Love conquers all."

Virgil
