When desire, having rejected reason and overpowered judgment which is set in the direction of the pleasure which beauty can inspire, is called love.
-Socrates

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.
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!
Men always want to be a woman's first love - women like to be a man's last romance.
-Oscar Wilde
If you see good in people, you radiate a harmonious loving energy which uplifts those who are around you. If you can maintain this habit, this energy will turn into a steady flow of love.
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
-Khalil Gibran
The way of love is as true as the way of knowledge. All paths ultimately lead to the same Truth. But as long as God keeps the feeling of ego in us, it is easier to follow the path of love.
I like not only to be loved, but also to be told that I am loved.
-George Eliot
You cannot unconditionally love someone. You can only be unconditional love.... You don’t love another, you are another.
-Stephen Levine
