You love your family, but not your neighbor. You love your parents, but not others’ parents. You love your religion, but not all religions. You love your country, but not all countries. This is not true love, it is limited love. Transformation of limited love into divine love is the goal of spirituality.
Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
And all people live, not by reason of any care they have for themselves, but by the love for them that is in other people.
-Leo Tolstoy
In many a form of goodness, O Love, you show your face. Grant that these forms may penetrate within our hearts. Send elsewhere all malice!
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.
I see when men love women, they give them but a little of their lives. But women, when they love give everything.
-Oscar Wilde
The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.
-Ernest Hemingway
"Men Without Women"
On the journey towards the beloved, you live by dying at every step.
-Nadeem Aslam
"The Wasted Vigil"
When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.
-Jimi Hendrix
Love cannot tolerate distance and hatred cannot tolerate nearness.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
