There is no love that is not an echo.

Quotations
Love
What is love? Two souls and one flesh; Friendship? Two bodies and one soul.
-Joseph Roux
Love is a great thing, greatest of all goods, because it alone renders light every burden and bears equally all that is unequal.
-Jesus Christ
The blossom of love will make the air fragrant; the river of love will murmur along the valleys; and every bird, beast and child will sing the song of love.
-Vedas "Atharva Veda"
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"
When I was in the military they gave me a medal for killing two men and a discharge for loving one.
-Leonard Matlovich "Epitaph of Leonard. P. Matlovich, 1988"
You love your family, but not your neighbor. You love your parents, but not others’ parents. You love your religion, but not all religions. You love your country, but not all countries. This is not true love, it is limited love. Transformation of limited love into divine love is the goal of spirituality.
-A Spiritual Leader "Mata Amritanandamayi"
Love is the scent with the lotus born. It is the silent choirs of petals singing winter’s harmony of uniform beauty. Love is the song of the soul, singing to God. It is the balanced rhythmic dance of planets – sun and moonlit.
-A Spiritual Leader "Paramahansa Yogananda"
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
...when I think of you it's with tears, because no one else has such delicate hands that can reach into my soul and calm my fears...
-John Geddes
"A Familiar Rain"
