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
Quotations
Love
Love and freedom are such hideous words. So many cruelties have been done in their name.
-Joseph O'connor
"Star of the Sea"
Love cannot tolerate distance and hatred cannot tolerate nearness.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
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 greatest love stories are not those in which love is only spoken, but those in which it is acted upon.
-Steve Maraboli
You cannot unconditionally love someone. You can only be unconditional love.... You don’t love another, you are another.
-Stephen Levine
Immature love says: I love you because I need you, Mature love says: I need you because I love you.
-Erich Fromm
To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give, that takes courage because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt.
-Madonna
