“How can our love go wrong, if we start the New Year right?”
-Bing Crosby, as Jim in the film Holiday Inn
The following quotes come from Philip Carlson’s book You Were Made for Love:
“In our culture, a ‘loving person’ is often viewed as mild mannered, easily swayed, someone who is more ‘doormat’ than warrior. Kindness is often viewed as weakness. The truth is that love is the most powerful force in the world.”
“Kindness is the way we make love real to other people.”
“We all need close friends – people we can count on, people who know our story and who are willing to share their stories with us. These relationships require time – to open hearts, explore the world together in conversation, wonder over the mysteries of life, and do the difficult but joyous work of loving and caring.”
“Hurry kills love.”
