Quotations
Love
One can be a soldier without dying and a lover without sighing.
-Edwin Arnold
A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.
-Kurt Vonnegut
"The Sirens of Titan"
Who loves believes the impossible.
-Elizabeth Barrett Browing
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
When you get rid of attachment, there will be love.
-J. Krishnamurti
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
You love your family, but not your neighbor. You love your parents, but not others’ parents. You love your religion, but not all religions. You love your country, but not all countries. This is not true love, it is limited love. Transformation of limited love into divine love is the goal of spirituality.
-A Spiritual Leader "Mata Amritanandamayi"
Love is the scent with the lotus born. It is the silent choirs of petals singing winter’s harmony of uniform beauty. Love is the song of the soul, singing to God. It is the balanced rhythmic dance of planets – sun and moonlit.
-A Spiritual Leader "Paramahansa Yogananda"
We are never so defenseless against suffering as when we love.
-Sigmund Freud
