-Edward G. Bulwer Lytton
Where there is love there is life.
-Mahatma Gandhi
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"
A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.
-Kurt Vonnegut

A life without love is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.
-Oscar Wilde "Oscar Wilde"
Love is the power to see similarity in the dissimilar.
