"Being 'in love' is like being 'in imagination' ". Think of an imagination of a child, it's full of wonder and creativity. Most of the time is happiness as well as warmth & comfort. So in the case of love, it is a reflection of an imagination like a child. You never know if it's surely going to last but the feeling that is developed is inconceivable. If love is purely an emotional condition, it is plausible to argue that it remains a private phenomenon incapable of being accessed by others, except through an expression of language, and language may be a poor indicator of an emotional state both for the listener and the subject.

" Plato called love the child of fullness and emptiness.

" It may be useful to consider love less as an aspect of relationship and more as an event of the soul " This quote is important because it makes us realize that love doesn't have to be confined to just a relationship. That love is more then just that, love is actually nourishment for the soul to be happy.

"Love seems to promise that life's gaping wounds will close up and heal. It makes little difference that in the past love has shown itself to be painful and disturbing." - This quote accurately represents love and how extremely fragile it is, as it can be the greatest feeling or the the worst feeling known to man. "In the failure of a relationship we resolve never to make the same mistakes again." Everyone makes mistakes and we all learn from them. In relationships you can't always fix the mistake and it may be too late to do anything. Due to this we have knowledge to not make the same mistake in the next relationship.

"It is clear that love is never simple, that it brings with it struggles of the past and hopes for the future, and that it is loaded with material that may be remotely--if at all--connected to the person who is the apparent object of love."

So this means that love is never easy. That it will always come with it's consequences. Some people are to blinded by love and will say that their world is fine when its really burning down around them.
Once they're done with a relationship that completely destroyed them and their self being, then they notice the fire, the friends they have forgotten, and the beautiful world that used to be theirs, in shambles.
But one day it will be okay again, one day.

"Love is such an illusion that we need to distrust it and keep our wits about us so that we are not led astray." This quote explains how some depiction of some sort of "true love" on the silver screen or in some romance novel isn't always true or reliable to the helpless romantics out in the world. Another quote that stands out is," There is only one cure for the melancholic sickness of love: enter into it with abandon." It means that love is blatantly bleak, a void, a blank canvas, and the painting is undecided until paint hits the canvas. Love is wary and frankly, dangerous when it isn't handled by the right person.
