Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses. – Ann Landers
If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things that are missing. If you dont have love in your life, no matter what else there is, its not enough. – Ann Landers
My parents had an arranged marriage, as did so many other people when I was growing up.

I continue to wonder about it, and I will continue to write about it. – Jhumpa Lahiri
