Love is the expression of joy that a material Universe experiences in finally becoming aware of itself, after having been created by purely statistical and material processes, and absolutely not by Sky Daddy.

Love is the situation that exists where another person's happiness is essential to your own.

That's literally one of the best definitions of love I have heard so far.

I totally agree with this ... I feel it now ... I am happy and i'm in love because I can make another person happy ... and I feel that the happiness of the other person is more important than my happiness ... yes, it's definitely love!
"Alone is what I have. Alone protects me." 
“I may be on the side of the angels but don’t think for one second that I am one of them.”
“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day."
