"I don't believe in love at first sight. I believe in love in the first discussion, the first argument, the first inner joke, the first real laugh after a lifetime of sadness.

I believe in love in the first honest conversation, first a completely relaxed silence that is not embarrassing. I believe in love in the first support through hardship, the first shared pain and the first divided joy.

I don't believe in falling in love with a face. I believe in falling in love with a mind and soul. "
