I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
-Mother Teresa
Love must be one and two at the same time.
-Rabindranath Tagore
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!
In life, if you wish to save yourself from going insane, set your anger and love
free... Suppressing them, both get perverted and assume monstrous forms.
-Deep Trivedi
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 is a great thing, greatest of all goods, because it alone renders light every burden and bears equally all that is unequal.
-Jesus Christ
You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.
-Ernest Hemingway
"Men Without Women"
On the journey towards the beloved, you live by dying at every step.
