I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.
If you don’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?
Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made or dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused.
Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning.
Perfect love casts out fear. Where there is love there are no demands, no expectations, no dependency. I do not demand that you make me happy; my happiness does not lie in you. If you were to leave me, I will not feel sorry for myself; I enjoy your company immensely, but I do not cling.
I pray that you will understand the words of Jesus, “Love one another as I have loved you.” Ask yourself “How has he loved me? Do I really love others in the same way?” Unless this love is among us, we can kill ourselves with work and it will only be work, not love. Work without love is slavery.
You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.
I’ve fallen for your eyes but they don’t know me yet.
Millions of people are suffering: they want to be loved but they don’t know how to love. And love cannot exist as a monologue; it is a dialogue, a very harmonious dialogue.
I loved Ophelia. Forty thousand brothers could not, with all their quantity of love, make up my sum.
The universe only makes sense when we have someone to share our feelings with.
Love begins by taking care of the closest ones – the ones at home.
The Heart wants what it wants – or else it does not care.
Because of a great love, one is courageous.
I was feeling insecure you might not love me anymore.
You have to take me for me. I am who I am.
I want to love you without clutching, appreciate you without judging, join you without invading, invite you without demanding, leave you without guilt, criticize you without blaming, and help you without insulting. If I can have the same from you, then we can truly meet and enrich each other.
Unable are the loved to die. For love is immortality.
Love and Compassion are the true religions to me. But to develop this, we do not need to believe in any religion.
A gift is pure when it is given from the heart to the right person at the right time and at the right place, and when we expect nothing in return.
