It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations.

About This Quote

Most of us have been taught from a young age that love has to be a lifelong commitment. If a couple is getting along again and again, it is because they have been together for a while and have learned how to work through their differences. However, this is not the only way that love comes into being. Most of us have experienced love at first sight. When that feeling hits, you know you are in love with someone even if you've never talked with them before.

When you fall in love, there is no time to waste. You just need to act on your feelings and go after the person who captured your heart.
