Love is eternal -- the aspect may change, but not the essence. There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning. The lamp was there and was a good lamp, but now it is shedding light too, and that is its real function. And love makes one calmer about many things, and that way, one is more fit for one's work. Vincent Van Gogh
About This Quote

Love is eternal, but it can change. Love brings us happiness and joy, it makes our life full of purpose and meaning. Love is eternal, the aspect may change, but not the essence. The same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning. When we feel love we become calmer and more focused on our work.
