“Love? Be it man. Be it woman.
It must be a wave you want to glide in on,
give your body to it, give your laugh to it,
give, when the gravelly sand takes you,
your tears to the land. To love another is something
like prayer and can't be planned, you just fall
into its arms because your belief undoes your disbelief.”
― Anne Sexton, The Complete Poems

“Love is a wild fire that cannot be contained by any mere element known to man.”
― Cristina Marrero, The Unsung Love Story

“but whatever came, she had resolved never again to belong to another than herself.”
― Kate Chopin, The Awakening

“... the companions of our childhood always possess a certain power over our minds which hardly any later friend can obtain.”
― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein: The 1818 Text
