Quotations
Love
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
-Lao Tzu
Love does not claim possession, but gives freedom.
-Rabindranath Tagore
People will ask me: Don’t you believe in God? No, I don’t. I believe in two things above all: Nature and Love. Nature is all-powerful. Love is how I understand the good. It might have been nice to believe in God, often defined as all-powerful and good, but combining the two like that has always posed too much of a contradiction for my poor mind to believe in.
-C. George Boeree "C. George Boeree"
When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth.

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.

It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.
