I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved. I know that I can give love for a minute, for half an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I am very happy to do that; I want to do that.<\/span>
\nPrincess Diana<\/span><\/p>\n

I remember when I used to sit on hospital beds and hold people\u2019s hands, people used to be shocked because they\u2019d never seen this before. To me it was quite normal.<\/span>

Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties.<\/span>
\nJules Renard<\/span><\/p>\n

A woman who could always love would never grow old; and the love of mother and wife would often give or preserve many charms if it were not too often combined with parental and conjugal anger. There remains in the face of women who are naturally serene and peaceful, and of those rendered so by religion, an after-spring, and later an after-summer, the reflex of their most beautiful bloom.<\/span>
\nJean Paul Richter<\/span><\/p>\n

For one human being to love another that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks.<\/span>

Remember always that you have not only the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one.<\/span>

The value of love will always be stronger than the value of hate.. Any nation or group of nations which employs hatred eventually is torn to pieces by hatred…<\/span>

True love means simply taking care of our humanity<\/span>

Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.<\/span>
\nAntoine De Saint-Exupery<\/span><\/p>\n

I regard as a mortal sin not only the lying of the senses in matters of love, but also the illusion which the senses seek to create where love is only partial. I say, I believe, that one must love with all of one’s being, or else live, come what may, a life of complete chastity.<\/span>
\nGeorge Sand<\/span><\/p>\n

There is only one happiness in life — to love and to be loved.<\/span>

Love bears it out even to the edge of doom.<\/span>
\nWilliam Shakespeare<\/span><\/p>\n

Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs. Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers eyes. Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers tears. What is it else? A madness most discreet, a choking gall and a preserving sweet.<\/span>

First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity: no really self-respecting woman would take advantage of it.<\/span>
\nGeorge Bernard Shaw<\/span><\/p>\n

Love is free; to promise for ever to love the same woman is not less absurd than to promise to believe the same creed; such a vow in both cases excludes us from all inquiry.<\/span>
\nPercy Bysshe Shelley<\/span><\/p>\n

All love is sweet, Given or returned. Common as light is love, And its familiar voice wearies not ever. They who inspire us most are fortunate, As I am now: but those who feel it most Are happier still.<\/span>

The hottest love has the coldest end.<\/span>
\nSocrates<\/span><\/p>\n

When desire, having rejected reason and overpowered judgment which leads to right, is set in the direction of the pleasure which beauty can inspire, and when again under the influence of its kindred desires it is moved with violent motion towards the beauty of corporeal forms, it acquires a surname from this very violent motion, and is called love.<\/span>
\nSocrates<\/span><\/p>\n

One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life; that word is love.<\/span>

Love, and do what you like.<\/span>
\nSt. Augustine<\/span><\/p>\n

\nSt. Augustine<\/span><\/p>\n

What I needed most was to love and to be loved, eager to be caught. Happily I wrapped those painful bonds around me; and sure enough, I would be lashed with the red-hot pokers of jealousy, by suspicions and fear, by bursts of anger and quarrels.<\/span>
\nSt. Augustine<\/span><\/p>\n

Let no one believe that he has received the divine kiss, if he knows the truth without loving it or loves it without understanding it. But blessed is that kiss whereby not only is God recognized but also the Father is loved; for there is never full knowledge without perfect love.<\/span>

We do not love people so much for the good they have done us, as for the good we have done them.<\/span>
\nCount Leo Tolstoy<\/span><\/p>\n

For it is the suffering flesh, it is suffering, it is death, that lovers perpetuate upon the earth. Love is at once the brother, son, and father of death, which is its sister, mother, and daughter. And thus it is that in the depth of love there is a depth of eternal despair, out of which springs hope and consolation.<\/span>
\nMiguel De Unamuno<\/span><\/p>\n

It is sad not to be loved, but it is much sadder not to be able to love.<\/span>
\nMiguel De Unamuno<\/span><\/p>\n

As Plato sometimes speaks of the divine love, it arises not out of indigency, as created love does, but out of fullness and redundancy; it is an overflowing fountain, and that love which descends upon created being is a free efflux from the almighty source of love; and it is well pleasing to him that those creatures which he hath made should partake of it.<\/span>
\nAuthor Unknown<\/span><\/p>\n

Know the self to be sitting in the chariot, the body to be the chariot, the intellect the charioteer, and the mind the reins.<\/span>
\nVeda Upanishads<\/span><\/p>\n

Love is something eternal; the aspect may change, but not the essence.<\/span>
\nVincent Van Gogh<\/span><\/p>\n

The church has always preached “love of your neighbor” but I have not seen all this love all around.<\/span>
\nCarl William Brown<\/span><\/p>\n

The best way to know God is to love many things.<\/span>
\nVincent Van Gogh<\/span><\/p>\n

The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others.<\/span>
\nVincent Van Gogh<\/span><\/p>\n

It is not love that should be depicted as blind, but self-love.<\/span>
\nFrancois-Marie Arouet de Voltaire<\/span><\/p>\n

Love conquers all; let us surrender to Love.<\/span>
\nVirgil<\/span><\/p>\n

Love is a canvas furnished by Nature and embroidered by imagination.<\/span>
\nFrancois-Marie Arouet de Voltaire<\/span><\/p>\n

Self-love is the instrument of our preservation.<\/span>
\nFrancois-Marie Arouet de Voltaire<\/span><\/p>\n

Fantasy love is much better than reality love. Never doing it is very exciting. The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.<\/span>
\nAndy Warhol<\/span><\/p>\n

A pity beyond all telling is hid in the heart of love.<\/span>
\nWilliam Butler Yeats<\/span><\/p>\n

I dote on myself, there is that lot of me and all so luscious.<\/span>
\nWalt Whitman<\/span><\/p>\n

One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry.<\/span>
\nOscar Wilde<\/span><\/p>\n

There is always something ridiculous about the emotions of people whom one has ceased to love.<\/span>
\nOscar Wilde<\/span><\/p>\n

There’s nothing in the world like the devotion of a married woman. It’s a thing no married man knows anything about.<\/span>
\nOscar Wilde<\/span><\/p>\n

When a man has once loved a woman, he will do anything for her, except continue to love her.<\/span>
\nOscar Wilde<\/span><\/p>\n

When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one’s self, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.<\/span>
\nOscar Wilde<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet each man kills the thing he loves. From all let this be heard: some do it with a bitter look, some with a flattering word. The coward does it with a kiss. the brave man with the sword.<\/span>
\nOscar Wilde<\/span><\/p>\n

For love… has two faces; one white, the other black; two bodies; one smooth, the other hairy. It has two hands, two feet, two tails, two, indeed, of every member and each one is the exact opposite of the other. Yet, so strictly are they joined together that you cannot separate them.<\/span>
\nVirginia Woolf<\/span><\/p>\n
