Quotations
Love
If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.
-Michael Jackson
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
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"
You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection
-Gautama Buddha
...when I think of you it's with tears, because no one else has such delicate hands that can reach into my soul and calm my fears...

"A Familiar Rain"
As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.
-Helen Keller
No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than it’s opposite.
-Nelson Mandela
Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
Love is moral even without legal marriage, but marriage is immoral without love.
-Ellen Key
