Love cannot be forced.

Love does not imply pacifism.

Love is not a volunteer thing.

Lovers never surrender to each other, lovers simply surrender to love.

But love doesn't make a mean drunk not a mean drunk or a narcissist not a narcissist or a jackass not a jackass.

Romantic love is not a competitive sport.

Love does not claim possession but gives freedom.

Love cannot be forced, love cannot be coaxed and teased. It comes out of heaven, unasked and unsought.

Not knaves, fools.

Love is not a habit, a commitment, or a debt. It isn't what romantic songs tell us it is - love simply is.

Love holds no grievances.

The world is not for cowardly peoples.

Dreams can never be made captive.
