In romantic love, you want the other person

Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
- Khalil Gibran
Sow a seed and the earth will yield you a flower.
Dream your dream to the sky and it will bring you your beloved.
- Khalil Gibran
And think not, you can direct the course of love; for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
- Khalil Gibran
You are my ground and you are my rainbow.
You are my butterfly and you are my ecstasy.
You are the start of my journeys and always my destination.
You are my home - the place to which I always return.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
In real love you want the other person's good.
In romantic love, you want the other person.
- Margaret Chase Smith
Romantic love is mental illness. But it's a pleasurable one.
It's a drug. It distorts reality, and that's the point of it.
It would be impossible to fall in love with someone that you really saw.
- Fran Lebowitz
