If you are pro love, you have to be a little bit disloyal to the romantic feelings that propel you in the early days.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The essence of romantic love is that wonderful beginning, after which sadness and impossibility may become the rule.
I've always considered myself a fairly romantic person. I believe in love and falling in love at a young age.
Love is not a feeling of happiness. Love is a willingness to sacrifice.
A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love.
Love never reasons, but profusely gives; it gives like a thoughtless prodigal its all, and then trembles least it has done to little.
When you fall in love, and you're very young, you think that that's the love of your life. And maybe it is, but it usually doesn't turn out that way.
Romanticism is not just about being in a fixed state of endless beauty, because you can't live like that or live on that, that's what I've learnt.
I think one of the downsides of the sort of obsession with romantic love and personal fulfillment is that the plain fact of the matter is that those feelings don't last for ever and so they better be replaced and reinforced by things that do.
Romantic love allows you to focus mating energy. Attachment sustains that relationship as long as necessary to raise your baby.
When I am in love, I am ridiculously and hopelessly romantic.
