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
Quotations
Love
Love conquers all things; let us too surrender to love.
-Virgil "Virgil"
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
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
You can as easily love without trusting as you can hug without embracing.
-Robert Brault
You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection
-Gautama Buddha
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.
-A Spiritual Leader "Mata Amritanandamayi"
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
-Sarah Williams
Where there is love there is life.
-Mahatma Gandhi
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
