Quotations
Love
"Anger" and "Love"...are the only two centres of energy in human life. Religion,
education and society have killed both these in a human being which is why, the
entire mankind is compelled to lead a life of helplessness.
-Deep Trivedi
Our first and last love is – self love.
-Christian Nestell Bovee
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
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
Whatever is done for love always occurs beyond good and evil.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.
-Kurt Vonnegut
"The Sirens of Titan"
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"
Immature love says: I love you because I need you, Mature love says: I need you because I love you.
-Erich Fromm
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
