“Ultimately, yes. Life can get pretty complicated. It’s easy to get distracted and pulled in many directions. But then you have an epiphany and realize what’s important.” — Verena Arnabal,
consultant with Rodan + Fields, Larchmont resident
“Yes. If you have love for someone or something, it moves you to help others or achieve something.” — José L. Colchado,
owner of Colchado Landscaping, Bridgeport resident
“No. People always used to say, ‘Is it better to love or be loved?’ It’s better to be loved. But once love is gone, it’s over.” — Rose Colonna,

“Love does conquer all. It can conquer fear. I met my wife at a writers’ workshop. She was the only one to offer constructive criticism. I fell in love with her, because she told me the truth. And I learned how to take criticism.”
“Yes, but you’re asking someone who just got engaged. Love conquers all in your professional life and in your personal life.”
