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.
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
In many a form of goodness, O Love, you show your face. Grant that these forms may penetrate within our hearts. Send elsewhere all malice!
Love does not alter the beloved, it alters itself.
...when I think of you it's with tears, because no one else has such delicate hands that can reach into my soul and calm my fears...
-John Geddes
"A Familiar Rain"
In her first passion, a woman loves her lover, in all the others all she loves is love.
-Lord Byron
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Do not seek the because - in love there is no because, no reason, no explanation, no solutions.
-Anaïs Nin
Who could refrain that had a heart to love and in that heart courage to make love known?
-William Shakespeare
All Mankind love a lover.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
