Our true identity is to love without fear and insecurity. Our higher potential finds us when we set our course in that direction. The power of love and compassion transforms insecurity.
I'll never understand why some people have the need to make us feel insecure to "show us their love." I've been there, done that. But true love is when our insecurity is no longer felt. It's when one day, we wake up and say, "Whatever happened to that insecure person?" That person is gone because true love has transformed you into someone who is secure in yourself again. That's when you know that someone truly loves you.
Vipin Sharma
Love the heart that hurts you, but never hurt the heart that loves you.
Jason Jordan
True love does not come by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.
Jason Jordan
Love is fire. But whether it's gonna warm your heart or burn your house down you can never tell.

Rainer Maria Rilke
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart. And try to love the questions themselves.
Always keep growing and keep asking those questions.

If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it was, and always will be yours. If it never returns, it was never yours to begin with.

Franklin P. Jones
Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

Trouble is part of your life — if you don't share it, you don't give the person who loves you a chance to love you enough.
This is a hard one for me to grasp. Guess I'll have to work on it.
Luciano de Crescenzo
We are, each of us angels with only one wing; and we can only fly by embracing one another.
Ursula K. LeGuin from The Lathe of Heaven
Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new.
This is something that EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON THE PLANET needs to work on. No exceptions!!! So get to it people!! Right now!
Buddha
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

Jeremy Irons
Love is friendship set on fire.

Sir Hugh Walpoe
The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident.
Let's all just collectively sigh now.
Mae West
Loves conquers all things except poverty and toothache.
I couldn't resist.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Love is not just looking at each other, it's looking in the same direction.

In those whom I like, I can find no common denominator; in those whom I love I can: they all make me laugh.
True dat!

Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it.

Douglas Yates
People who are sensible about love are incapable of it.
