Love quotes from Supreme Court (ASTIG!)

1. “Love is useless unless it is shared with another. Indeed, no man is an island, the cruelest act of a partner in marriage is to say "I could not have cared less." This is so because an ungiven self is an unfulfilled self. The egoist has nothing but himself. In the natural order, it is sexual intimacy which brings spouses wholeness and oneness. Sexual intimacy is a gift and a participation in the mystery of creation. It is a function which enlivens the hope of procreation and ensures the continuation of family relations. x x x. (Ching Ming Tsoi vs. Court of Appeals, 16 January 1997)

2. " xxx She unconditionally laid herself prostrate to his charms, too much enamored of him to care about anything else. For, as philosopher Blaise Pascal has so pithily stated of the profundity of human love, 'love has reasons that reason cannot explain." - Abaigar vs. Paz - September 10, 1979.

3. Cua-Chua vs. CA: Its about a teacher who fell in love with her student, who happens to be so much younger than the teacher. The teacher was sued for damages (?) by the family of the student (obviuosly because they don't want the teacher due to age gap and the fact the she was his teacher). Also , an administrative case was filed against her to oust her from the school she had been teaching. Is the relationship immoral and against decency? Let us see what the Supreme Court has to say. "If eventually I fall in love despite of our disparities, it only lands truism to the fact that the heart has its reason of its own that reason dot not know." I guess, you already know who won the case; love prevails... ayus....

4. ...there can be no love where respect is gone (People vs. Rivera November 17, 1999)
