Passion is the quickest to develop, and the quickest to fade. Intimacy develops more slowly, and commitment more gradually still.
I think love is something that you have to work on, and it develops over experience and time. Love is a practice.
Love grows more tremendously full, swift, poignant, as the years multiply.
It’s funny, most people can be around someone and then gradually begin to love them and never know exactly when it happened
Love seems the swiftest, but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century.
A guy and a girl can be just friends, but at one point or another, they will fall for each other... maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late, or maybe forever.
I've never been Romeo who meets a girl and falls for her immediately. It's been a much slower process for me each time I've gone into a relationship.
There is nothing more lovely in life than the union of two people whose love for one another has grown through the years, from the small acorn of passion, into a great rooted tree
Love is something that grows, that comes from nourishment; it builds.
True love is a process. True love requires personal action.
Love doesn't grow at a steady rate, but advances in surges, bolts, wild leaps, and this was one of those.
Our purpose is to grow up and become love
The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly than even the final surrender; because this kiss already has within it that surrender.
Perhaps we were friends first and lovers second. But then perhaps this is what lovers are.
I didn't fall in love with acting until I did a few films. Now, I couldn't live without it.
Love never stands still; it must inevitably be either growing or decaying - especially the love of marriage.
On rare occasions one does hear of a miraculous case of a married couple falling in love after marriage, but on close examination it will be found that it is a mere adjustment to the inevitable.
I've never grown into loving someone. It's, like, either right away or slowly sinks in.
If you want to learn to love, then you must start the process of finding out what it is, what qualities make up a loving person and how these are developed. Each person has the potential for love. But potential is never realized without work.
I didn't fall in love, I rose in it.
She was at that modulating point between indifference and love, at the stage called having a fancy for. It occurs once in the history of the most gigantic passions, and it is a period when they are in the hands of the weakest will.
The beauty of a relationship is when you get used to a person; it is not sudden. It is just a process, and you don't realise when love happens.
All the other stuff without love? Not worth a whole lot. Love starts with ourselves and needs to be approached like anything else we want to master-with a lot of diligent studying and practicing!
You very seldom see a picture where you watch the process of falling in love.
Love seems the swiftest, but it is the slowest of growths
