Love

Seneca

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Bible

When one is in love one begins by deceiving oneself, one ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls romance.
