Love – A pet topic with poets, writers, and song writers. Much has been said, written and sung about love. So, what do people have in mind when they think and talk about love. What is love to them? The following quotes are about what love is, or isn’t. (Part 3)
Love is not some complex, mystical abstraction. It is something accessible and human that we learn through our everyday experience, as often at times of failure as in moments of ecstasy. - Leo Buscaglia
Love isn't a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like struggle. To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now. - Fred Rogers
Love is the willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you. - Wagne Dyer
Love is content with the present, it hopes for the future, and it does not brood over the past. It’s the day-in and day-out chronicle of irritations, problems, compromises, small disappointments, big victories and working toward common goals. If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things that are missing. If you don’t have love in your life, no matter what else there is, it’s not enough. - Ann Landers
Love is something eternal – the aspects may change, but not the essence. There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is buming. The lamp was there and it is a good lamp, but now it is shedding light, too, and that is its real function. - Vincent van Gogh
Love is so powerful because being loved causes one to love oneself. Nothing contributes to the self-image more than being loved by another. When the words ‘I love you’ are expressed to you for the first time, your world blossoms; your heart glows with inspiration, confidence and thoughts of the mountains you can move. - Unknown
Love is the most healing force in the world. Nothing goes deeper than love. It heals not only the body, not only the mind but also the soul. - Osho
Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone – we find it with another. - Thomas Merton
Love is higher than opinion. If people love one another the most varied opinions can be reconciled – thus one of the most important tasks for humankind today and in the future is that we should learn to live together and understand one another. If this human fellowship is not achieved, all talk of development is empty. - Rudolf Steiner
