Quotations
Love
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"
Whatever is done for love always occurs beyond good and evil.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Nice people don't necessarily fall in love with nice people.
-Jonathan Franzen
"Freedom"
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"
On the journey towards the beloved, you live by dying at every step.
-Nadeem Aslam
"The Wasted Vigil"
Love and anger are two names of the same energy. If you learn to use one
properly...the second by itself gets channelized in fruitful tasks.
-Deep Trivedi
First lose yourself, then only you find Him. The Beloved is not separate from you; just turn your face within.
-Shah Abdul Karim "Shah Abdul Karim"
We look forward to the time when the Power of Love will replace the Love of Power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace.
-William Ewart Gladstone "William. E. Gladstone"
God loved the birds and invented trees. Man loved the birds and invented cages.
-Jacques Deval "Jacques Deval"
