I've been thinking of something your father said - that the true measure of love is what one is willing to give up for it. He was talking about freedom - fighting for liberty. But I believe 'tis the same for love as war.

About This Quote

Love, like war, is a choice. When a couple chooses to love each other, one must also be willing to sacrifice for that love. In fact, the greatest sacrifice of all is to be willing to sacrifice oneself for another person. The saying above is a reference to the quote from William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet: “The true measure of love is what one is willing to give up for it.”
