There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance.
Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible—it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.
Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.
Love is needing someone. Love is putting up with someone’s bad qualities because they somehow complete you.
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
Love is blind. It will take over your mind. What you think is love, is truly not. You need to elevate your mind.
I like to believe that love is a reciprocal thing, that it can’t really be felt, truly, by one.
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell.
Love is absolute loyalty. People fade, looks fade, but loyalty never fades. You can depend so much on certain people; you can set your watch by them. And that’s love, even if it doesn’t seem very exciting.
Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.”
You know it’s love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you’re not part of their happiness.
I’m scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I’m with you.
Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart, and the senses.
Love to me is someone telling me,I want to be with you for the rest of my life, and if you needed me to I’d jump out of a plane for you.
I refuse to let what happened to me make me bitter. I still completely believe in love and I’m open to anything that will happen to me.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.
It was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were supposed to be together… and I knew it.
The best love is the kind that awakens the soul; that makes us reach for more, that plants the fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. That’s what I hope to give you forever.
The greater your capacity to love, the greater your capacity to feel the pain.
Sexiness is a state of mind – a comfortable state of being. It’s about loving yourself in your most unlovable moments.
Only time can heal your broken heart, just as only time can heal his broken arms and legs.
I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.
I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
I know I am in love with you because my reality is finally better than my dreams.
If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.
Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.
Loving people live in a loving world. Hostile people live in a hostile world. Same world.
To love is nothing. To be loved is something. But to love and be loved, that’s everything.
When I loved myself enough, I began leaving whatever wasn’t healthy. This meant people, jobs, my own beliefs and habits – anything that kept me small. My judgment called it disloyal. Now I see it as self-loving.
A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself.
There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
Every person has to love at least one bad partner in their lives to be truly thankful for the right one.
If you aren’t good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone, since you’ll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren’t even giving to yourself.
True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked.
I found in my research that the biggest reason people aren't more self-compassionate is that they are afraid they'll become self-indulgent. They believe self-criticism is what keeps them in line. Most people have gotten it wrong because our culture says being hard on yourself is the way to be.
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter’s oven? And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives? When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see in truth that you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
Immature love says:I love you because I need you. Mature love says I need you because I love you.
The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassions, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.
