Scientists tell us that, without the presence of a cohesive force amongst the atoms that comprise this globe of ours, it would crumble to pieces and we would cease to exist; and even as there is cohesive force in blind matter, so must there be in all things animate, and the name for that cohesive force among animate beings is Love.
-Gandhi
Love never claims, it ever gives; love never suffers, never resents, never revenges itself. Where there is love there is life; hatred leads to destruction.

Love is the flower you’ve got to let grow.

When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.
-John Lennon

Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.
-Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love
One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: that word is love.

‘Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.

Love
There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer;
No disease that enough love will not heal;
No door that enough love will not open;
No gulf that enough love will not bridge;
No wall that enough love will not throw down;
No sin that enough love will not redeem..
It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble,
How hopeless the outlook,
How muddled the fangle,
How great the mistake.
A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all..
If only you could love enough,
You would be the happiest
And most powerful being in the world.
-Emmet Fox
And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make.
-The Beatles, The last lyric of their last song

Everybody can be great… because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illumines it.

Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
Love cures people, both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.
-Dr. Karl Menninger
Age does not protect you from love but love to some extent protects you from age.
-Jeanne Moreau
The bottom line is that (a) people are never perfect, but love can be, (b) that is the one and only way that the mediocre and vile can be transformed, and (c) doing that makes it that. We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love.
-Tom Robbins

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being “in love” which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.
-Captain Corelli’s Mandolin
Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.

True love begins when nothing is looked for in return.

The life and love we create is the life and love we live.

Love that will not betray you, dismay or enslave you,
It will set you free
Be more like the man you were made to be.

Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness.

When you are in Love you can’t fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams.
-Dr Seuss
Love is like a friendship caught on fire: In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

There is no remedy for love but to love more.
