And all people live, not by reason of any care they have for themselves, but by the love for them that is in other people.
-Leo Tolstoy
Quotations
Love
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
-Sarah Williams
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 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"
Nothing I say can explain to you divine love. Yet all of creation cannot seem to stop talking about it.
-Rumi "Jalaluddin Rumi"
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"
Love is not love that alters when it alteration finds.
-William Shakespeare
There is no love that is not an echo.
-Theodor W. Adorno
Freely we serve, because freely we love.
-John Milton "John Milton"
And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
-Khalil Gibran
