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
Quotations
Love
I wonder how many people don't get the one they want, but end up with the one they're supposed to be with.
-Fannie Flagg
"Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe"
One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.

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"
First lose yourself, then only you find Him. The Beloved is not separate from you; just turn your face within.

Do I love you because you're beautiful, or are you beautiful because I love you?

Where there is love there is life.

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.

As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.
