"Letters and Papers from Prison"
There lives at least one being who can never change - one being who would be content to devote his whole existence to your happiness - who lives but in your eyes-who breathes but in your smiles, who bears the heavy burden of life itself only for you.
-Charles Dickens
When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth.
-Jess C. Scott
"The Intern"
As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.
-Helen Keller
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
Where there is love there is life.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Love sought is good, but given unsought, is better.
-William Shakespeare
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
A life without love is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.
The wise are wise only because they love. Fools are fools only because they think they can understand love.
