Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. What then kills love? Only this: Neglect.

The clearer and happier you feel inside, the more joyous and loving your outer world becomes because love attracts love.

I loved long and long,
And grew to be out of fashion
Like an old song.

WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS

"O Do Not Love Too Long", In the Seven Woods

Tags: William Butler Yeats


My Love is of a birth as rare
As 'tis, for object, strange and high;
It was begotten by Despair,
Upon Impossibility.

It is love, not reason, that is stronger than death.

THOMAS MANN

The Magic Mountain

Love, in this world, is like a seed taken from the tropics, and planted where the winter comes too soon; and it cannot spread itself in flower-clusters and wide-twining vines, so that the whole air is filled with the perfume thereof. But there is to be another summer for it yet. Care for the root now, and God will care for the top by and by.

HENRY WARD BEECHER

Life Thoughts


"God is love" became inverted into "love is God", so that it is now the West's undeclared religion--and perhaps its only generally accepted religion.

Love is blind and in hindsight is twenty-twenty.

All love's details burned bright. Surely they meant something? Surely they were enough? But they came and went and there we still were, with new unfillable space between us.

True love, selfless love, does not wither as beauty fades or life becomes difficult. If anything, its roots grow deeper and its branches spread farther with each shared experience.

Love makes you do stupid things -- like making someone an omelet for no good reason other than to see them smile. Gross.

What love is depends on where you are in relation to it. Secure in it, it can feel as mundane and necessary as air -- you exist within it, almost unnoticing. Deprived of it, it can feel like an obsession; all-consuming, a physical pain. Love is the driver for all great stories: not just romantic love, but the love of parent for child, for family, for country. It is the point before consummation of it that fascinates: what separates you from love, the obstacles that stand in its way. It is usually at those points that love is everything.

JOJO MOYES

"What is love -- can it really be defined and explained?", The Guardian, February 12, 2016


When a man and woman are successfully in love, their whole activity is energized and victorious. They walk better, their digestion improves, they think more clearly, their secret worries drop away, the world is fresh and interesting, and they can do more than they dreamed that they could do. In love of this kind sexual intimacy is not the dead end of desire as it is in romantic or promiscuous love, but periodic affirmation of the inward delight of desire pervading an active life.

It is best to be off with the old love before you are on with the new.

DANISH PROVERB


Love others and as you do, that love will return to you.

In the end what will prevail is your passion not your tale, for love is the Holy Grail.

I am coming to terms with the fact that loving someone requires a leap of faith, and that a soft landing is never guaranteed.

SARAH DESSEN

This Lullaby


Our experience of love is more of a measure of whether we're connected with the universal source of this energy. In other words, there's some life energy that we have and sort of share with people we might be relating to that takes place, that operates whether we're sort of feeling in a state of love or not. But love is the measure of whether we're really connected with the internal source of this energy where we can consciously sort of fill up and amplify the amount of energy that we're able to take in from the inside.

But the name of the secret is Love!
