Quotations
Love
Immature love says: I love you because I need you, Mature love says: I need you because I love you.

Nothing is sweeter than love, nothing stronger, nothing higher, nothing more sublime, nothing more expansive, nothing more joyful, nothing more abundant, nothing more pleasing in Heaven or on earth ; because love is born of God, nor can it rest upon created things, but only in God
-Jesus Christ
When you get rid of attachment, there will be love.
-J. Krishnamurti
If you love it enough, anything will talk with you.
-George Washington Carver
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"
Man’s love is of man’s life a part; it is a woman’s whole existence.
-Lord Byron
