Quotations
Love
Freely we serve, because freely we love.
-John Milton "John Milton"
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"
Our first and last love is – self love.
-Christian Nestell Bovee
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"
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 I was in the military they gave me a medal for killing two men and a discharge for loving one.
-Leonard Matlovich "Epitaph of Leonard. P. Matlovich, 1988"
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
-Lao Tzu
The lover flies, runs and rejoices; he is free and nothing can restrain him. He gives all for all and has all in all.
-Jesus Christ
You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection
-Gautama Buddha
