What is love?
Description of love from the movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin:
"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
-St. AugustineDescription of love extracted from the movie Little Manhattan:
"Love isn't about ridiculous little words.
Love is about grand gestures.
Love is about airplanes pulling banners over stadiums,
proposals on jumbo-trons,
giant words in sky writing.
Love is about going that extra mile even if it hurts, letting it all hang out there.
Love is about finding courage inside of you that you didn't even know was there."
