A couple of quick quotes from books I have been reading lately:

from Madeleine L'Engle's A Wind in the Door:

Quote: Idiot..Love isn't how you feel. It's what you do.

from Robin McKinley's Rose Daughter:

Quote: Roses are for love. Not silly sweethearts' love but the love that makes you and keeps you whole, love that gets you through the worst your life'll give you, and pours out of you when you're given the best instead...
