There lives at least one being who can never change - one being who would be content to devote his whole existence to your happiness - who lives but in your eyes-who breathes but in your smiles, who bears the heavy burden of life itself only for you.
-Charles Dickens
Quotations
Love
Love does not alter the beloved, it alters itself.
-Søren Kierkegaard
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"
I see when men love women, they give them but a little of their lives. But women, when they love give everything.
-Oscar Wilde
Love is not an emotion. It is your very existence.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Spiritual sex, then, combines how you express your love with the intentions or blessings you bring to your partnership.
-Alexandra Katehakis "Alexandra Katehakis"
To say I love you one must first be able to say the I.
-Ayn Rand
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
In her first passion, a woman loves her lover, in all the others all she loves is love.
-Lord Byron
When I was in the military they gave me a medal for killing two men and a discharge for loving one.
-Leonard Matlovich "Epitaph of Leonard. P. Matlovich, 1988"
