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
Nice people don't necessarily fall in love with nice people.
-Jonathan Franzen
"Freedom"
To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give, that takes courage because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt.
-Madonna
Here are the signs of love. When you love someone, you see nothing wrong with them.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Love feels no burden, values no labours, would like to do more than it can do, without excusing itself with impossibility, because it believes that it may and can do all things.
-Jesus Christ
It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.
-André Gide
"Autumn Leaves"
When desire, having rejected reason and overpowered judgment which is set in the direction of the pleasure which beauty can inspire, is called love.
-Socrates
How wrong is it for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.
-Anaïs Nin
Whatever is done for love always occurs beyond good and evil.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
There lives at least one being who can never change - one being who would be content to devote his whole existence to your happiness - who lives but in your eyes-who breathes but in your smiles, who bears the heavy burden of life itself only for you.
-Charles Dickens
