Quotations
Love
Love flows through a union that lives up to mutual responsibility. Love is not self-seeking, it’s not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrong.
-Bible "1 Corinthians 13:5"
Can you imagine what it would feel like to become aware of an omnipresent ocean of wild divine love that has always been a secret to you in the same way that the sea is invisible to a fish?
-Rob Brezsny "Rob Brezsny"
Love watches, and sleeping, slumbers not. When fatigued it does not become tired; when pressed it does not work through constraint; when threatened it is not disturbed; but like a lively flame and a burning torch, it mounts upwards, and securely overcomes all opposition.
-Jesus Christ
Do I love you because you're beautiful, or are you beautiful because I love you?
-Richard Rodgers
"Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella"
Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.
-Oscar Wilde "Oscar Wilde"
In her first passion, a woman loves her lover, in all the others all she loves is love.
-Lord Byron
...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...
-John Geddes
"A Familiar Rain"
Love to be real love, must be active.
