1. Love is not sweet words under the shade of flowers, nor sweet words in the Peach Blossom Land, nor light tears, nor is it a stubborn coercion. Love is based on a common language. Shakespeare Love only thrives when it is free. The idea that love is some kind of obligation can only kill love. It is enough to say that you ought to love someone to make you hate him to the bone. Russell Love is only fulfilling when it is a secret. If it were known to others, it would be annoying. J. Dryden Pearl Love is only beautiful when it is a memory. If love is treated as reality, it will only bring people toil. Rousseau Love is not a material thing but a spiritual need. Tagore
