love quotes,

I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for their religion -

I have shuddered at it.
I shudder no more.
I could be martyr'd for my religion
Love is my religion
And I could die for that.
I could die for you.
~John Keat





Perfect love is rare indeed -

for to be a lover will require that you continually
have the subtlety of the very wise,
the flexibility of the child,
the sensitivity of the artist,
the understanding of the philosopher,
the acceptance of the saint,
the tolerance of the scholar
and the fortitude of the certain.
~Leo Buscaglia
