You cannot unconditionally love someone. You can only be unconditional love.... You don’t love another, you are another.
-Stephen Levine
Quotations
Love
Love is possible only step by step. If one loves himself, then only can he love
people around him and only if he loves people around him, can he fall in love
with the entire mankind... But some people directly fall in love with stones and
animals. Difficult to understand, as to who are they trying to deceive?
-Deep Trivedi
In her first passion, a woman loves her lover, in all the others all she loves is love.
-Lord Byron
We are never so defenseless against suffering as when we love.
-Sigmund Freud
Nothing I say can explain to you divine love. Yet all of creation cannot seem to stop talking about it.
-Rumi "Jalaluddin Rumi"
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"
The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.
-Ernest Hemingway
"Men Without Women"
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
Love is not an emotion. It is your very existence.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
When a man has once loved a woman he will do anything for her except continue to love her.
-Oscar Wilde
