• Let me not to the marriage of true minds
  Admit impediments. Love is not love
  Which alters when it alteration finds,
  Or bends with the remover to remove:
  O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
  That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
  It is the star to every wandering bark,
  Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
  Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
  Within his bending sickle's compass come:
  Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
  But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
  If this be error and upon me proved,
  I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

  William Shakespeare

  Stars, Love You, Taken

• Love is not love
  Which alters when it alteration finds,
  Or bends with the remover to remove.
  O, no! It is an ever-fixed mark,
  That looks on tempests and is never shaken.
  It is the star to every wandering bark,
  Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
