Quotations
Love
Love watches, and sleeping, slumbers not. When fatigued it does not become tired; when pressed it does not work through constraint; when threatened it is not disturbed; but like a lively flame and a burning torch, it mounts upwards, and securely overcomes all opposition.
-Jesus Christ
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"
To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give, that takes courage because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt.
-Madonna
Love is an act of faith and whoever is of little faith is also of little love.
-Erich Fromm
Love does not claim possession, but gives freedom.
-Rabindranath Tagore
First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity.
-George Bernard Shaw
It is not your love that sustains the marriage,
but from now on, the marriage that sustains your love.
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"Letters and Papers from Prison"
You can as easily love without trusting as you can hug without embracing.
-Robert Brault
There is always something ridiculous about the emotions of people whom one has ceased to love.
-Oscar Wilde
