love is....

"Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

--Paul in I Corinthians 13:4-7

"Love does no wrong to a neighbor; love therefore is the fulfillment of the law."

--Paul in Romans 13:10

"Love is considered the most basic emotion that human awareness can feel; therefore, it is the closest to the source of life."

--Deepak Chopra in Ageless Body, Timeless Mind
