It Takes Two

 Here are some pictures of couples all over
the world who have a relationship that is
evident in their gestures of caring, their body
language, their eyes.

If we are a metaphor of the universe,
the human couple is the metaphor par excellence,
the point of intersection of all forces and the seed of all forms.
The couple is time recaptured, the return to the time before time.
– Octavio Paz, Mexico, Nobel Laureate in Literature

What is essential is invisible to the eye.
 - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Grow old along with me.
The best is yet to be, the last of life,
for which the first was made.
Our times are in his hand who saith,
A whole I planned, youth shows but half;
Trust God: See all, nor be afraid!
– Robert Browning

Life has taught us that love does not
consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward
together in the same direction.
-Antoine de Saint-Exupéry,
Wind, Sand, and Stars

Take away love and our earth is a tomb.
– Robert Browning

The heart has its reasons that reason knows nothing of. 
- Blaise Pascal, Pensées, 1670

To love someone deeply gives you strength.
Being loved by someone  deeply gives you courage.
- Lao-Tzu

One word frees us of all the weight and pain in life.
That word is love.
– Sophocles
