Quotations
Love
When we have not what we love, we must love what we have.
-Anonymous
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.
-C. George Boeree "C. George Boeree"
Love me or hate me, both are in my favour… If you love me, I’ll always be in your heart… If you hate me, I’ll always be in your mind.
-William Shakespeare "William Shakespeare"
If you eat with love that is good; what you just gulp down like anything, that will kill you.
-Kirpal Singh "Sant Kirpal Singh"
The way of love is as true as the way of knowledge. All paths ultimately lead to the same Truth. But as long as God keeps the feeling of ego in us, it is easier to follow the path of love.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa "Ramakrishna Paramahamsa"
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"
Love is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation.
-Rabindranath Tagore "Rabindranath Tagore"
Love is more about being the right person than finding the right person.
-Barbara Bartlein
