Willa Cather: "Where there is great love there are always miracles."

When you start to really know someone, all his physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in his energy, recognize the scent of his skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That’s why you can’t fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and your body but not your heart. And that’s why, when you really connect with a person’s inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant.

If you want to improve your love life, improve how you love yourself. If you don't love yourself enough, you'll find ways not to find love. The love you have for yourself is in a way the only love you have in your life because all the other love is a mirror of it.

A kind word is never wasted. Especially between people who love each other.
