Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new.
爱不仅仅坐在那里,像块石头,而是像面包一样被做出来的,自始至终创造,不断更新。
URSULA K. LE GUIN, b.1929
Love consists in desiring to give what is our own to another and feeling his delight as our own.
爱由付出自己和分享他的快乐组成。
EMANUEL SWEDENBORG (1688-1772)
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed1 up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its ovn, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity2, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fail.
爱可以天长地久并仁慈;爱不嫉妒;爱不夸耀,爱不吹捧;爱不粗鲁行事,爱不索求,不挑衅,不思邪;不因不公而喜悦,但却为真理而欢欣;爱承担一切,相信一切,希望一切,忍耐一切。爱从不失败。
1 CORINTHIANS 13;4-8
Love is a plant of tenderest growth: treat it well, take thought for it and it may grow strong and perfume your whole life.
爱是一种最娇嫩的植物:善待她,关照她,她会长得强壮,让你的整个生命都充满芬芳。
FRANK HARRIS (1856-1951)
Love is... one thing you can't give away - it comes baack to you.
爱出者爱返,福往者福来。
TRADITIONAL
Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.
那些深爱的人永远不会变老,他们可能死于老龄,却依然年轻。
SIR ARTHUR WING PINERO (1855-1934)
Love between the very young is touching. Love between the very old is glory.
年轻人之间的爱是感动,老年人之间的爱是壮丽。
PAM BROWN, b. 1928
