love

Love is like infinity. You can't have more or less infinity, and you can't compare two things to see if they're equally infinite. Infinity just is, and that's the way I think love is, too.

—Fred Rogers

Love is the root of everthing. Love or the lack of it.

—Fred Rogers

I’ve learned…That love, not time, heals all wounds.

—Andy Rooney

Love is everything it’s cracked up to be. It really is worth fighting for, for being brave for, risking everything for. And, the trouble is, if you don’t risk everything, you risk even more.

—Erica Jong

There is no situation that is not transformable. There is no person who is hopeless. There is no set of circumstances that cannot be turned about by ordinary human beings and their natural capacity for love of the deepest sort.

—Desmond Tutu

I really only love God as much as I love the person I love the least.

—Dorothy Day

My enemy said to me, ‘Love your enemy.’ And I obeyed him and loved myself.

—Khalil Gibran

If you don’t find God in the next person you meet, it is a waste of time looking for him further.

—Mahatma Gandhi

Then it was as if I suddenly saw the secret beauty of their hearts, the depths of their hearts where neither sin nor desire nor self-knowledge can reach, the core of their reality, the person that each one is in God’s eyes. If only they could all see themselves as they really are. If only we could see each other that way all the time. There would be no more war, no more hatred, no more cruelty, no more greed. I suppose the big problem would be that we would fall down and worship each other.

—Thomas Merton

We are all the leaves of one tree.

We are all the waves of one sea.

—Thich Nhat Hanh

Love is the recognition that we are one.

—Rupert Spira

Love is the only reality and it is not a mere sentiment.

It is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation.

—Rabindranath Tagore
