Quotations
Love
I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
-Mother Teresa
Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
-Mother Teresa
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 watches, and sleeping, slumbers not. When fatigued it does not become tired; when pressed it does not work through constraint; when threatened it is not disturbed; but like a lively flame and a burning torch, it mounts upwards, and securely overcomes all opposition.
-Jesus Christ
One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.
-Paulo Coelho
To say I love you one must first be able to say the I.
-Ayn Rand
Nothing I say can explain to you divine love. Yet all of creation cannot seem to stop talking about it.
-Rumi "Jalaluddin Rumi"
It is not your love that sustains the marriage,
but from now on, the marriage that sustains your love.
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"Letters and Papers from Prison"
The most beautiful clothes that can dress a woman are the arms of the man she loves.
-Yves Saint Laurent
