Love is now, is always. All that is missing is the coup de grâce- which is called passion.

About This Quote

Some people say, “Love is now, is always.” And others add, “All that is missing is the coup de grâce- which is called passion.” Most of these statements are true. Love can be a powerful force for good in your life. It makes you stronger and wiser, prevents you from making stupid mistakes, and helps you to grow into a better person. Love also has a downside, however: that feeling of being infatuated with someone.

If you’re in love with someone who isn’t ready to commit to you yet, this feeling can cause problems in your relationship. That person may give you mixed signals or act inconsistently—and that can make you feel insecure and wonder whether the love will ever happen for you at all.
