“Love doesn’t ask many questions, because if we stop to think we become fearful.”

“If I fall, may it be from a high place.”

“When we look for love courageously, it reveals itself, and we wind up attracting even more love.”

“Regardless of whether we love once, twice, or a dozen times in our life, we always face a brand new situation. Love can co-sign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere.
