"Commitment is an act, not a word." - Jean-Paul Sartre
"Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident." - Louis de Bernieres, Captain Corelli's Mandolin
"Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused." - Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." - 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
"Love is an endless act of forgiveness. Forgiveness is me giving up the right to hurt you for hurting me." - Beyoncé
"Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality." - Abraham Lincoln
"Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs." - William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
"Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible—it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could." - Barbara De Angelis
"The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that’s what you’ve given me. That’s what I’d hoped to give you forever." - Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook
"Commitment means staying loyal to what you said you were going to do long after the mood you said it in has left you." - Unknown
"To be fully seen by somebody, then, and be loved anyhow - this is a human offering that can border on miraculous." - Elizabeth Gilbert, Committed
