On the journey towards the beloved, you live by dying at every step.

You cannot unconditionally love someone. You can only be unconditional love.... You don’t love another, you are another.
-Stephen Levine
Justice that love gives is a surrender; justice that law gives is a punishment.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Love is not something we do, love is something we are.

You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection
-Gautama Buddha
If you eat with love that is good; what you just gulp down like anything, that will kill you.
You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
Love you will find only where you may show yourself weak without provoking strength.
-Theodor W. Adorno
Freely we serve, because freely we love.
