Quotations
Love
Who could refrain that had a heart to love and in that heart courage to make love known?
-William Shakespeare
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"
Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.
-Anaïs Nin
He that falls in love with himself will have no rivals.
-Benjamin Franklin
Men always want to be a woman's first love - women like to be a man's last romance.
-Oscar Wilde
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"
Love is possible only step by step. If one loves himself, then only can he love
people around him and only if he loves people around him, can he fall in love
with the entire mankind... But some people directly fall in love with stones and
animals. Difficult to understand, as to who are they trying to deceive?
-Deep Trivedi
In love all the contradictions of existence merge themselves and are lost.
-Rabindranath Tagore
The blossom of love will make the air fragrant; the river of love will murmur along the valleys; and every bird, beast and child will sing the song of love.
-Vedas "Atharva Veda"
