Whatever is done for love always occurs beyond good and evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche – Love, Good, Evil
There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.
Friedrich Nietzsche – Madness, Love
This is the hardest of all: to close the open hand out of love, and keep modest as a giver.
Friedrich Nietzsche – Love
Love is a state in which a man sees things most decidedly as they are not.
Friedrich Nietzsche – State of love
It is better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all.
Samuel Butler – Love
If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I.
Michel de Montaigne – Love
In our imaginations we believe that love is apart from us. Actually there is nothing but love, once we are ready to accept it.
When you truly find love, you find yourself.
Deepak Chopra – Imagination, Love
It takes no effort to love. The state has its own innate joy. Questions answer themselves if you are aware enough. Life is safe; flowing with the current of being is the simplest way to live. Resistance never really succeeds. Controlling the flow of life is impossible.
Deepak Chopra – Love
Next to love, sympathy is the divinest passion of the human heart.
Love, Sympathy – Edmund Burke
I watched the faces of the listeners when the minister would cry out how much God loved them and how much they needed to set themselves right with God. They were faces without any argument in them, just tired faces that were glad to hear Somebody loved them.
Marilyn Monroe on love and god
Most of us who turn to any subject we love remember some morning or evening hour when we got on a high stool to reach down an untried volume, or sat with parted lips listening to a new talker, or for very lack of books began to listen to the voices within, as the first traceable beginning of our love.
George Eliot – Beginning of Love
I like not only to be loved, but also to be told that I am loved. I am not sure that you are of the same kind. But the realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave. This is the world of literature and speech and I shall take leave to tell you that you are very dear.
George Eliot – Love
A supreme love, a motive that gives a sublime rhythm to a woman’s life, and exalts habit into partnership with the soul’s highest needs, is not to be had where and how she wills.
George Eliot – Supreme Love
Self-love is the instrument of our preservation.
Voltaire – Self-Love
Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination.
