Quotes

• “We lack realism when it comes to finding love.” 
• “I realized that the journey to find love is really the ultimate spiritual path.”
• “Love with a partner is the most spiritual thing we do in life.” 
• “For women, it's the exact opposite of men. We have less of a chance of being able to find a true partner as we go up the corporate ladder or the ladder of success, whereas men have a much higher chance of finding a partner.” - Lisa
