You come to love not by finding the perfect person,
but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.

What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose.
~ Henry Ward Beecher
The truth [is] that there is only one terminal dignity-love. And the story of a love is not
important-what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are
permitted of eternity.
~ Helen Hayes
Find the person who will love you because of your differences and
not in spite of them and you have found a lover for life.
