Romantic Quotes

If you love all things, you will also attain the divine mystery that is in all things. For then your ability to perceive the truth will grow every day, and your mind will open itself to an all-embracing love.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Just because you know someone doesn't mean you love them, and just because you don't know people doesn't mean you can't love them.
