“The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.
They're in each other all along.”
― Rumi, The Illuminated Rumi
A Short Walk on the "LOVE" Side:
Looking for love in a bar is like looking for food in the gutter. You might find something that resembles what you’re looking for, but it’s probably bad for you.
“To come upon love without seeking it is the only way to find it.” – Jiddu Krishnamurti
“Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it.” – Benjamin Franklin
Just because someone doesn’t love you the way that you want, doesn’t mean that they don’t love you the best way they know how.
“Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, and enflames the great.” – Anonymous
“Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone.” – Leo Tolstoy
“Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupery
“When we lose one we love, our bitterest tears are called forth by the memory of hours when we loved not enough.” – Maurice Maeterlinck
“Love isn’t blind, it just uses a completely different navigation system that isn’t compatible with anything else.”
“Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.” – H. L. Mencken
“To love deeply in one direction makes us more loving in all others.” – Anne-Sophie Swetchine
“There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.” – Friedrich Nietzsche
“For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.” – Rainer Maria Rilke
“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then there will be true peace.” – Sri Chin Moi Gosh
“True intimacy with another human being can only be experienced when you have found true peace within yourself.” – Angela L. Wozniak
“It is an irony that the more possessive you are, the more love you demand, the less you receive, while the more freedom you give, the less you demand, the more love you will receive.” – Dr. Harold Bloomfield
“Find the person who will love you because of your differences and not in spite of them and you have found a lover for life.” – Leo Buscaglia
“Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.” – James Baldwin
“Love is not blind – it sees more, not less. But because it sees more, it is willing to see less.” – Rabbi J. Gordon
“It is very difficult to live among people you love and hold back from offering them advice.” – Anne Tyler
