Leo Tolstoy

Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it.

He was afraid of defiling the love which filled his soul.

Only people who are capable of loving strongly can also suffer great sorrow, but this same necessity of loving serves to counteract their grief and heals them.

The Kingdom of God is Within You,

What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are but how you deal with incompatibility.

All happy families are alike, but an unhappy family is unhappy after its own fashion.

Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them-we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.

We’ve got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can’t just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it’s going to get on by itself. You’ve got to keep watering it. You’ve got to really look after it and nurture it.

You demonstrate love by giving it unconditionally to yourself. And as you do, you attract others into your life who are able to love you without conditions.

I stopped believing in love at first sight. I think you go through that wonderful love stage, but when it gets hard, you need a little bit more.

We are asleep until we fall in Love!

To be fully seen by somebody, then and be loved anyhow – this is a human offering that can border on miraculous.

The opposite of love isn’t hate. It isn’t even indifference. It’s fear.

It is most unwise for people in love to marry.

Only snails know there is no rush when you learn to carry home with you.

I’d tell you how beautiful you look today, but there’s not enough time before sunset to tell how you set fire to a sundress; my mouth is overflowing from yesterday.

Love is like a faucet, it turns off and on.

If you wanna break these walls down, you’re gonna get bruised.

And somewhere in my time with you, the crickets emerged as birds and the blackened hills found their hue. My eyes fell on you; I didn’t watch the sun move, but I felt the world turn all night.

Only people who are capable of loving strongly can also suffer great sorrow, but this same necessity of loving serves to counteract their grief and heals them.

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