Quotations
Love
Why are old lovers able to become friends? Two reasons. They never truly loved each other, or they love each other still.
-Whitney Otto
"How to Make an American Quilt"
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"
You can as easily love without trusting as you can hug without embracing.
-Robert Brault
If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.
-Khalil Gibran
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
And all people live, not by reason of any care they have for themselves, but by the love for them that is in other people.
-Leo Tolstoy
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
-Khalil Gibran
You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection
-Gautama Buddha
Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
-Mother Teresa
