In love all the contradictions of existence merge themselves and are lost.
-Rabindranath Tagore
Quotations
Love
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"
Love is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation.
-Rabindranath Tagore "Rabindranath Tagore"
Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage
-Ambrose Bierce
We look forward to the time when the Power of Love will replace the Love of Power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace.
-William Ewart Gladstone "William. E. Gladstone"
...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"
God loved the birds and invented trees. Man loved the birds and invented cages.
-Jacques Deval "Jacques Deval"
As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.
-Helen Keller
First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity.
-George Bernard Shaw
Nothing is sweeter than love, nothing stronger, nothing higher, nothing more sublime, nothing more expansive, nothing more joyful, nothing more abundant, nothing more pleasing in Heaven or on earth ; because love is born of God, nor can it rest upon created things, but only in God
-Jesus Christ
