"[Love is] a constellation of emotions and experiences
related to a sense of strong affection or profound oneness. The meaning of love
varies relative to context. Romantic love is seen as an ineffable feeling of
intense attraction shared in passionate or intimate attraction and intimate
interpersonal and sexual relationships. Though often linked to personal
relations, love is often given a broader signification, a love of humanity, of
nature, with life itself, or a oneness with the Universe, a universal love or
karma. Love can also be construed as Platonic love, religious love, familial
love, and, more casually, great affection for anything considered strongly
pleasurable, desirable, or preferred, to include activities and foods. This
diverse range of meanings in the singular word love is often contrasted with the
plurality of Greek words for love, reflecting the concept's depth, versatility,
and complexity."

"Love is patient; love is kind
and envies no one.
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
never selfish, not quick to take offense.
There is nothing love cannot face;
there is no limit to its faith,its hope, and endurance.
In a word, there are three things
that last forever: faith, hope, and love;
but the greatest of them all is love."
