Fra Lippo Lippi ,1855, Robert Browning

Take away love and our earth is a tomb.

Love is the only thing
... you get more of
by giving it away.

Love alone is capable of uniting living beings
in such a way as to complete and fulfill them,
for it alone takes them and joins them
by what is deepest in themselves.

The moment
you have in your heart
this extraordinary thing called love
and feel the depth,
the delight,
the ecstasy of it,
you will discover that for you
the world is transformed.

Love and compassion
are necessities, not luxuries.
Without them,
humanity cannot survive
