Quotations
Love
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"
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"
Our heart ever changes its place till it finds love, and then it has its rest.
-Rabindranath Tagore
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.
-Dalai Lama
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
There is no remedy for love but to love more.
-Henry David Thoreau
When desire, having rejected reason and overpowered judgment which is set in the direction of the pleasure which beauty can inspire, is called love.
-Socrates
We are never so defenseless against suffering as when we love.
-Sigmund Freud
Love is a better teacher than duty.
-Albert Einstein
