Quotations
Love
The difference between love and happiness is that those who talk about love tend to be in love, but those who talk about happiness tend to be not happy.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
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
Love is the power to see similarity in the dissimilar.
-Theodor W. Adorno
Love and freedom are such hideous words. So many cruelties have been done in their name.
-Joseph O'connor
"Star of the Sea"

-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 12:18-19"
Let love of the brethren continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.

If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love.

All because of love, when it arrived my temporal life from then on changed to eternal.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.
