"Love is a verb. Reactive people make it a feeling…if our feelings control our actions, it is because we have abdicated our responsibility and empowered them to do so. Proactive people make love a verb. Love is something you do; the sacrifices you make, the giving of self, like a mother bringing a newborn baby into the world."
"If you want to study love, study those who sacrifice for others, even for the people who offend, or do not love in return. If you are a parent, look at the love you have for the children you sacrificed for. Love is a value that is actualized through loving actions. Proactive people subordinate feelings to values. Love, the feeling, can be recaptured."
