\"young<\/a>Love is\u2026 \u00a0 Part 2: Quotes \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

by Lydia Floren<\/p>\n

When you think of \u201clove,\u201d what comes to mind? Candle-lit dinners?\u00a0 <\/span>Moonlight walks on the beach? Gifts that begin with Kay? \u00a0In our world the word \u201clove\u201d covers a lot of territory. Love can describe anything from a romantic infatuation to a food preference.\u00a0 According to Webster, love is defined as \u201ca warm attachment<\/b>, enthusiasm or devotion,\u201d or \u201cunselfish<\/b>\u2026concern for the good of another.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

People have written a lot about love. Here are a few of my favorite quotes:\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cLove is not obligation done with a cold soul.<\/em><\/b> It is when one person believes <\/b>in another person and shows it<\/b><\/em>.\u201d Rabbi David Wolpe.<\/p>\n
