G. W. F. Hegel

A child is the root of the heart.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez, from "Love in the Time of Cholera"
...they no longer felt like newlyweds, and even less like belated lovers. It was as if they had lept over the arduous calvary of conjugal life and gone straight to the heart of love.

For they had lived together long enough to know that love was always love, anytime and anyplace, but it was more solid the closer it came to death.
George Bernard Shaw
