Love does not alter the beloved, it alters itself.
-Søren Kierkegaard
Love does not alter the beloved, it alters itself.
Immature love says: I love you because I need you, Mature love says: I need you because I love you.
-Erich Fromm
We are never so defenseless against suffering as when we love.
-Sigmund Freud
"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
If you see good in people, you radiate a harmonious loving energy which uplifts those who are around you. If you can maintain this habit, this energy will turn into a steady flow of love.
When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.
-Jimi Hendrix
It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.
-André Gide
"Autumn Leaves"
In love all the contradictions of existence merge themselves and are lost.
-Rabindranath Tagore
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.
If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love.
-Maya Angelou
