After an outburst, she would settle down and try to love him as reasonably as she could, making the best of his kindness, his rather detached and separate passion, his occasional and laborious essays at emotional intimacy, and finally his intelligence - that quick, comprehensive, ubiquitous intelligence that could understand everything, including emotions it could not feel and the instincts it took care not to be moved by.

To love with understanding and without understanding. To love blindly, and to folly. To see only what is loveable. To think only of these things. To see the best in everyone around, their virtues rather than their faults. To see Christ in them!

Love and ever more love is the only solution to every problem that comes up. If we love each other enough, we will bear with each other's faults and burdens. If we love enough, we are going to light a fire in the hearts of others. And it is love that will burn out the sins and hatreds that sadden us. It is love that will make us want to do great things for each other. No sacrifice and no suffering will then seem too much.

A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. —Dr. Seuss" ? Ellery Adams, The Vanishing Type

And we were making a film I truly believed in, and the message of the film is "How do you make love stay?" Because it doesn't matter if someone has a memory or not, you have to reinvent love every day.

Oh, I love hugging. I wish I was an octopus, so I could hug 10 people at a time!

Faith makes all things possible... love makes all things easy.

In a neighborhood, as in life, a clean bandage is much, much better than a raw or festering wound.

Charity keepeth us in Faith and Hope, and Hope leadeth us in Charity. And in the end all shall be Charity.

Hope is not about proving anything. It's about choosing to believe this one thing, that love is bigger than any grim, bleak shit anyone can throw at us.

All you need is love... and a good cup of coffee.

Is love so small a pain for a woman?
