For life is the best thing we have in this existence. And if we should desire to believe in something, it should be a beacon within. This beacon being the sun, sea, and sky, our children, our work, our companions and, most simply put, the embodiment of love.

― Patti Smith, in “Let Me Count the Ways. Wise and Witty Women on the Subject of Love” by Becca Anderson (via Alive on All Channels)

For so many years I have kissed him. For so many years I have not kissed another soul, and there is a deep and abiding comfort in this.

The purest form of love is consideration. When someone thinks about how things would make you feel. Pays attention to detail. Holds you in regard when making decisions that could affect you. In any bond, how much they care about you can be found in how much they consider you
