true love

"To return to love, to get the love we always wanted but never had, to have the love we want but are not prepared to give, we seek romantic relationships. We believe these relationships, more than any other, will rescue and redeem us. True love does have the power to redeem but only if we are ready for redemption. Love saves us only if we want to be saved."

"True love is rare, and it's the only thing that gives life real meaning."

"True love is not so much a matter of romance as it is a matter of anxious concern for the well-being of one's companion."

"True love always makes a man better, no matter what woman inspires it."

"‎True love isn't expressed in passionately whispered words an intimate kiss or a embrace; before two people are married, love is expressed in self-control, patience, even words left unsaid."

"True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked."

"True love is the best thing in the world, except for cough drops."

"True love is usually the most inconvenient kind."

"True love begins when nothing is looked for in return."

"Not that she didn't love almost every boy she'd ever met, and not that every boy in the world didn't totally love her. It was impossible not to. But she wanted someone to love her and shower her with attention the way only a boy who was completely in love with her could. The rare sort of love. True love. The kind of love she'd never had."
