How does the world define LOVE?

Love is... From Philosophers: A grave mental disease (Plato) A dirty trick played on us to achieve continuation of the species (W. Somerset Maugham) Temporary insanity cured by marriage (Ambrose Bierce)

Love is... From Mathematicians: Love is like Pi – natural, irrational and very important = everything but 2 – 1 = nothing

Love is... From Hollywood: To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore to be unhappy one must love. (Woody Allen)

Love is... From the Music World: All You Need Is Love Love Will Keep Us Together Whats Love Got to Do With It? Love is a Battlefield Love Stinks
