"I find that most relationships are inherently painful if you're a deep person. Deep people always seek a depth that no one else seems to notice or care about. In the ocean of life, most prefer to stay along the shore, but not us... we look out into the horizon and say "I wonder how deep and how far it goes", and we take off on our own to find out...and it's a lonely journey being so far away from everyone else...all those people who are content with the shallow water and safety of shore. 'I could never be happy there though", you say to yourself, "I need more, than this'." - unknown

"Love is a State of Being." - Eckhart Tolle

our love is not outside; it is deep within you. You can never lose it, and it cannot leave you. It is not dependent on some other body, some external form. In the stillness of your presence, you can feel your own formless and timeless reality as the unmanifested life that animates your physical form. You can then feel the same life deep within every other human and every other creature. You look beyond the veil of form and separation. This is the realization of oneness. This is love." - Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now.
