Sometimes I pretend that I know what love is without knowing that I'm pretending. -- douglas brent smith

We don't always enjoy what life is preparing us for but that's no reason to waste the preparation. -- douglas brent smith

When we walk away from the hard work of love we miss what it was all about. -- douglas brent smith

Infatuation will destroy you if you let it. Love is your gift, not your tingly feelings. -- douglas brent smith
