Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

About This Quote

The quote, "Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable" is a personal favorite of mine because it so perfectly captures the way love can be both beautiful and painful. Love is something that will never go out.

It will always be there even if we can see no sign of it. And, because love is something that grows with time, the feeling of "love" may change over time as well.
