Just some quotes. I saved my favourite two for last.
Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born. - Anais Nin
A friend is, as it were, a second self. - Marcus Tullius Cicero
He who has nothing has no friends. - Greek proverb
We are molded and remolded by those who have loved us; and though the love may pass, we are nevertheless their work, for good or ill. - Francois Mauriac
If I have no love, I am nothing… Love is patient; love is kind and envies no one. Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude; never selfish, not quick to take offence. Love keeps no score of wrongs; does not gloat over other men’s sins, but delights in the truth… Love will never come to an end. – I Corinthians 13
I believe myself that romantic love is the source of the most intense delight that life has to offer. – Bertrand Russell
Whoever indulges in love without sense or moderation recklessly endangers his life; such is the nature of love that no one involved with it can keep his head. - Marie de France
There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved. - George Sand (pen name of Amandine Dupin)
When love is not madness, it is not love. - Spanish proverb
We don’t believe in rheumatism and true love until the first attack. - Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like a bread; remade all the time, made new. - Ursula K. LeGuin

---------------------------------
The following is what this Psychology student is studying about. Simply put, LOVE.
•Men appear more focused on the process of sexual mating (passionate love)
–Fall in love faster and fall out of love more slowly
–Less likely to break up a premarital romance
•Women are more focused on the attachment aspect (companionate love)
•The partner who initiates the breakup tends to suffer less distress
•Men tend to suffer more than women when they are romantically rejected
•People with a more individualistic orientation were the loneliest following a breakup
•People who deal best with the loss of romantic love are those with a supportive social network
The above mentioned are just some points that can be easily understood. There're alot more other points that come in sophisticating psychological terms I'm lazy to translate. So be contented with what you have :)
And now for the last two quotes;
When you are beside me my heart sinks; a branch it is, dancing, dancing before the Wind Spirit in the moon of strawberries. When you frown upon me, beloved, my heart grows dark… the shadow of clouds darken, then with your smile comes the sun.
