Immature love says: I love you because I need you, Mature love says: I need you because I love you.
-Erich Fromm
Quotations
Love
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"
Love is an endless mystery, for it has nothing else to explain it.
-Rabindranath Tagore
Love cannot tolerate distance and hatred cannot tolerate nearness.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.
-Michael Jackson
Love and friendship. They are what make us who we are, and what can change us, if we let them.
-Emily Giffin
"Something Blue"
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
No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than it’s opposite.
-Nelson Mandela
That one I love who is incapable of ill will, and returns love for hatred. Living beyond the reach of I and mind, pain and pleasure, full of mercy, contented, self-controlled, with all his heart and all his mind given to Me – with such a one I am in love.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 12:18-19"
Who loves believes the impossible.
-Elizabeth Barrett Browing
