Immature love says, I love you because I need you, mature love says, I need you because I love you. ~ Winston Churchill That man can destroy life is just as miraculous a feat as that he can create it, for life is the miracle, the inexplicable. In the act of destruction, man sets himself above life he transcends himself as a creature. Thus, the ultimate choice for a man, inasmuch as he is driven to transcend himself, is to create or to destroy, to love or to hate. ~ Erich Fromm Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first. ~ Charles De Gaulle The moment we choose to love we begin to move towards freedom... ~ Bell Hooks The most important principle of divine philosophy is the oneness of the world of humanity, the unity of mankind, the bond conjoining East and West, the tie of love which blends human hearts. ~ Abdul Baha, April 19, 1912, Earl Hall Love endures only when the lovers love many things together and not merely each other. ~ Walter Lippmann Friendship is constant in all other things Save in the office and affairs of love: Therefore all hearts in love use their own tongues; Let every eye negotiate for itself And trust no agent. ~ William Shakespeare, "Much Ado about Nothing", Act 2 scene 1 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. ~ Bible, 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 True love is like ghosts, which everybody talks about and few have seen. ~ Erica Jong Falling out of love is very enlightening. For a short while you see the world with new eyes. ~ Iris Murdoch Love recieved and love given comprise the best form of therapy. ~ Gordon William Allport Once you figure out who you are and what you love about yourself, I think it all kinda falls into place. ~ Jennifer Aniston
