Love cannot tolerate distance and hatred cannot tolerate nearness.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Quotations
Love
That one I love who is incapable of ill will, and returns love for hatred. Living beyond the reach of I and mind, pain and pleasure, full of mercy, contented, self-controlled, with all his heart and all his mind given to Me – with such a one I am in love.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 12:18-19"
Love is the scent with the lotus born. It is the silent choirs of petals singing winter’s harmony of uniform beauty. Love is the song of the soul, singing to God. It is the balanced rhythmic dance of planets – sun and moonlit.
-A Spiritual Leader "Paramahansa Yogananda"
First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity.
-George Bernard Shaw
...when I think of you it's with tears, because no one else has such delicate hands that can reach into my soul and calm my fears...
-John Geddes
"A Familiar Rain"
In this world, the bond of love is possible only between two self-reliant individuals,
but the question is, why would two such people live together?
-Deep Trivedi
When you love someone, you want to see them always happy and you want them to have the best.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Love is possible only step by step. If one loves himself, then only can he love
people around him and only if he loves people around him, can he fall in love
with the entire mankind... But some people directly fall in love with stones and
animals. Difficult to understand, as to who are they trying to deceive?
-Deep Trivedi
A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.
-Kurt Vonnegut
"The Sirens of Titan"
Love and friendship. They are what make us who we are, and what can change us, if we let them.
-Emily Giffin
"Something Blue"
