Love Is Quotes
-
Love is not a state, a feeling, a disposition, but an exchange, uneven, fraught with history, with ghosts, with longings that are more or less legible to those who try to see one another with their own faulty vision.
Judith Butler
-
Love is a power, a mighty principle that exists in its own right independent of any individual. Man changes, but the principle of love does not and cannot. Love does not leave men and women. Men and women leave love.
Barry Long
-
Love is all around you like the air, and is the very breath of your being.
Barry Long
-
Love is the movement within life that carries us, that enables us, that causes us to break out of what Alan Watts calls the “skin-encapsulated ego.” Without love, we are self-centered, but love enables us to move the center of our lives outside our ego. Therefore it expands our lives and, needless to say, enriches it. Any human being would give anything to love or be loved. When it really happens, it is like heaven on earth.
Huston Smith
-
Once for all, then, a short precept is given thee: Love, and do what thou wilt: whether thou hold thy peace, through love hold thy peace; whether thou cry out, through love cry out; whether thou correct, through love correct; whether thou spare, through love do thou spare: let the root of love be within, of this root can nothing spring but what is good.
Saint Augustine
-
Like the measles, love is most dangerous when it comes late in life.
Lord Byron
-
I believe that love is better than hate. And that there is more nobility in building a chicken coop than in destroying a cathedral.
Bette Greene
-
To me, love is a pure idea forged in flesh, awkwardly maybe, but it had to connect to somewhere, despite twists and turns of underground cable. An all-too-perfect thing. Sometimes the lines get crossed. Or you get a wrong number. But that's nobody's fault. It'll always be like that, so long as we exist in this physical form. As a matter of principle.
Haruki Murakami
-
Love is an intermediate state between possession and deprivation.
Plato

We must discover the power of love, the power, the redemptive power of love. And when we discover that we will be able to make of this old world a new world. We will be able to make men better. Love is the only way.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
-
To die for lack of love is horrible. The asphyxia of the soul.
Victor Hugo
-
I guess love is the real suspension of disbelief.
Melissa Bank
-
Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic.
Martin Luther
-
When we are in a truly loving relationship, we receive the gift of being known and accepted. We become more, not less, of who we are. We receive the space in which to bloom. This is how we know we are in a loving relationship. We are blooming, and the one we love is blooming as well.
Brenda Shoshanna

God's love is not wearied by our sins & is relentless in its determination that we be cured at whatever cost to us or Him
C. S. Lewis

Love is the special feeling that brightens all our days, And the secret to its meaning is found in simple ways.
Kai Knudsen
-
For love is exultant when it unites equals, but it is triumphant when it makes that which was unequal equal in love.
Soren Kierkegaard
-
Love is alone sufficient by itself, it pleases by itself and for it's own sake. It is itself a merit, and itself it's own recompense. It seeks neither cause, nor consequences beyond itself. It is its own fruit, its own object and usefulness. I love because I love you, I love that I may love.
Bernard of Clairvaux
-
Love is the art of hearts, and heart or arts.
Philip James Bailey
