In real love you want the other person's good.
In romantic love, you want the other person.
--Margaret Anderson
Real love is not selfish; it frees both the giver and the receiver.
Knowing we're loved sustains our hearts and diminishes our difficulties.
It doesn't bind us, yet paradoxically it bonds our hearts.
These encouragements to grow, to change, to dare to depart if it's for our own good, are expressions of real love.
Real love is never ownership, only stewardship of this moment's experiences.
