All because of love, when it arrived my temporal life from then on changed to eternal.
-Rumi "Jalaluddin Rumi"
All because of love, when it arrived my temporal life from then on changed to eternal.
You cannot unconditionally love someone. You can only be unconditional love.... You don’t love another, you are another.
-Stephen Levine
Nothing is sweeter than love, nothing stronger, nothing higher, nothing more sublime, nothing more expansive, nothing more joyful, nothing more abundant, nothing more pleasing in Heaven or on earth ; because love is born of God, nor can it rest upon created things, but only in God
-Jesus Christ
Love and friendship. They are what make us who we are, and what can change us, if we let them.
-Emily Giffin
"Something Blue"
The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.
-Ernest Hemingway
"Men Without Women"
Nothing I say can explain to you divine love. Yet all of creation cannot seem to stop talking about it.
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.
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
Can you imagine what it would feel like to become aware of an omnipresent ocean of wild divine love that has always been a secret to you in the same way that the sea is invisible to a fish?
A life without love is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.
