Love is any of a number of emotions related to a sense of strong affection and attachment. The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure ("I loved that meal") to intense interpersonal attraction ("I love my husband"). This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.

Throughout history, philosophy and religion have done the most speculation on the phenomenon of love. In the last century, the science of psychology has written a great deal on the subject. In recent years, the sciences of evolutionary psychology, evolutionary biology, anthropology, neuroscience, and biology have added to the understanding of the nature and function of love.

„(…)Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.(…)” I Corinthians 13:4-8

Amy Tan „I am like a falling star who has finally found her place next to another in a lovely constellation, where we will sparkle in the heavens forever.”

Antoine de Saint- Exupery: „Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.”

Elizabeth Barret Browning: „Whoso loves, believes the impossible.”

Mary S. Calderone: „I truly feel that there are as many ways of loving as there are people in the world and as there are days in the life of those people.”

Mother Teresa: „Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.”

Roy Croft: „I love you Not only for what you are But for what I am When I am with you…”
