I am as wrapped up in her as a vine that clings to a tree seeking for sustenance. She’s tied me to her for eternity. She’s my home. She’s my reason for being. To win and hold her heart is my only purpose.

About This Quote

Love is not only a feeling; it’s a state of being. Love is an emotional and physical connection with someone. Show me someone who claims they don’t like love and I will show you someone who has never experienced it. To love means to be willing to sacrifice your time and energy for the one you care about.

It means giving yourself to another person without any expectation of return because it is your very self that you are giving away. You are giving up control so that the other person can have control over you. You are giving up your personal power so that they can have control over your future.

Love, however, isn’t anything without trust. Trust is the underpinning of any relationship that should be based on commitment rather than just once-in-a-while fun or lustful romance. So, if you want to know what love is about, look no further than this quote by Nelson Mandela.
