What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil - Friedrich Nietzsche
Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness.

Children will tell you how lonely it is sleeping alone. If possible, you should always sleep with someone you love.

Spalding 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 mind. But the realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave.

You may wish to be loving -- you may even try with all your might -- but your love will never be pure unless you are free from resentment. When we are free from resentment, loving is effortless.

It's not a weight you must carry around. I love you. It's not a box that holds you in. I love you. It's not a standard you have to bear. I love you. It's not a sacrifice I make. I love you. It's not a pedestal you are frozen upon. I love you. It's not an expectation of perfection. I love you. It's not my life's whole purpose (or your's). I love you. It's not to make you change. I love you. It's not even to make you love me. I love you. It's as pure and simple as that. - Anonymous The number one way a man can succeed in fulfilling a woman's primary love needs is through communication. By learning to listen to a woman's feelings, a man can effectively shower a woman with caring, understanding, respect, devotion, validation, and reassurance. - John Gray We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread, but there are many more dying for a little love. - Mother Teresa Love is not finding someone to live with, it's finding someone you can't live without. - Rafael Ortiz Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love. - Neil Gaiman

And while it lives, it gives. For this is love's prerogative -- to give and give and give. - John Oxenham I've loved myself through you...as in loving you, I've loved myself too. - Aparna Chatterjee Love one another, but make no bond of love; let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your soul.

Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone. - Kahlil Gibran Never forget that the most powerful force on earth is love. - Nelson Rockefeller Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves, without any insistence that they satisfy you. - Wayne Dyer Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do...but how much love we put in that action. - Mother Teresa There is a time for risky love. There is a time for extravagant gestures. There is a time to pour out your affections on one you love. And when the time comes -- seize it, don't miss it. - Max Lucado Our lives are shaped by those who love us as well as those who refuse to love us. - Dr. Karl Menninger Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness. - Bertrand Russell Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread, re-made all the time, made new. - Ursula K.

You always lose by holding back. – Barbara DeAngelis Where does the family start ? It starts with a young man falling in love with a girl - no superior alternative has yet been found. – Sir Winston Churchill No Bargains - True love knows no bargains.
