Love is a joint experience between two persons-but the fact it is a joint experience does not mean it is a similar experience to the two people involved. There are the lover and beloved, but these two come from different countries.

Another quote about Nature of love

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, 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. Love never fails.
