Quotations
Love
There is always something ridiculous about the emotions of people whom one has ceased to love.
-Oscar Wilde
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.
-A Spiritual Leader "Mata Amritanandamayi"
Love is the highest strength, yet it makes you absolutely weak.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Immature love says: I love you because I need you, Mature love says: I need you because I love you.
-Erich Fromm
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"
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"
Love is not an emotion. It is your very existence.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Let love of the brethren continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.
-Bible "Hebrews 13.1-2"
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.
-Dalai Lama
