It’s been a cold winter and we’re freezing! Luckily, love is in the air, keeping us warm. To spread the warmth, we asked some of our team members (single, engaged and married!) to share their favorite love quotes.

Here’s what they said:

"Being heard is so close to being loved that for the average person they are almost indistinguishable." - David Augsburger
-Sarah K.

"Love is a fire. It burns everyone. It disfigures everyone. It is the world's excuse for being ugly." -Leonard Cohen
-David B.

"Life has taught us that love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction." -Antoine de Saint-Exupery
-Jackie B.

Sonnet #29
When, in disgrace with Fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least,
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate

For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings,
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
-William Shakespeare
-Jenny H.

"In love the paradox occurs that two beings become one and yet remain two." -Erich Fromm
-Andrew

"Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love."
-Sherri L.
