Two Contrasting definitions of love :

1. Love is patient and kind, love is not jealous or conceited or proud, love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable, love does not keep record of wrongs, love is not happy with evil, but happy with truth. Love never gives up, its faith, hope and patience, never fail. Love is eternal...There are faith, hope and love, these three, but the greatest of there is love.
- New Testament : 1 Corinthians 13-

2. Love is temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder. This disease like caries and many other ailments, is prevalent only among civilized races living under artificial conditions, barbarous nations breathing pure air and eating simple food enjoy immunity from its ravishes.
- Ambroce Bierce, The Devils' Dictionary, 1943, p 202-
