On Love

Love is an emotion which is part of the human build up. We are all capable of love. However, like all things in life, love changes with time. Love is never constant. Sometimes, it fades, sometimes it becomes stronger. No one can be wholeheartedly in love all the time.

However, there is such a thing called true love. True love requires commitment, faith, trust and loyalty, not chocolate, flowers and expensive gifts. You come to love not by finding the perfect person but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly. You don’t love someone because they’re perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they’re not.

There is no such thing as a perfect person. He or she might be perfect to you, but that is most probably because love has clouded your judgment. But to love someone and to stick by him in life, despite his or her imperfections, that is true love.

Have you found your true love?

If you believe yourself unfortunate, because you have ‘loved and lost,’ perish the thought. One who has loved truly, can never lose entirely. Love is whimsical and temperamental. Its nature is ephemeral, and transitory. It comes when it pleases, and goes away without warning. Accept and enjoy it while it remains, but spend no time worrying about its departure. Worry will never bring it back. - Napoleon Hill

Among the blessings of love there is hardly one more exquisite than the sense that, in uniting the beloved life to ours, we can watch over its happiness, bring comfort where hardship was, and over memories of privation and suffering, open the sweetest fountains of joy. - George Eliot

In a time when nothing is more certain than change, the commitment of two people to one another has become difficult and rare. Yet, by its scarcity, the beauty and value of this exchange have only been enhanced. - Robert Sexton

Love Responsibly

English followed by Italian / Inglese seguito dall'italiano Like all things in life, love changes with time. Sometimes, it fades, sometimes it becomes stronger. Sometimes, it loses its magic after a while. And if lovers do not keep rekindling the fire, love will die.

Love is never easy. Easy to say we love, but difficult to demonstrate it every day. For love to grow and stay, for a relationship, or marriage to work, both partners have to put in effort. Both have to be committed, and trust in each other.

Love, like all emotions, can be controlled. Rein in your emotions. Have a practical attitude and a sensible approach to love, and you will continue to enjoy this warm, fuzzy feeling called love.

In our culture, love is romanticized as a mystifying, random whirl of passion that happens to a person. Falling in love is thought to be the culmination of love. Yet, love is only meaningful and lasting when a person chooses to love responsibly and welcomes the opportunity to allow love to grow and deepen with time. - Rokelle Lerner

A summer breeze can be very refreshing; but if we try to put it in a tin can so we can have it entirely to ourselves, the breeze will die. Our beloved is the same. He is like a breeze, a cloud, a flower. If you imprison him in a tin can, he will die. Yet many people do just that. They rob their loved one of his liberty, until he can no longer be himself. They live to satisfy themselves and use their loved one to help them fulfil that. That is not loving; it is destroying. - Thich Nhat Hanh

When you love someone, you do not love him or her all the time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. It is an impossibility. It is even a lie to pretend to. And yet, this is exactly what most of us demand. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what it was, nor forward to what it might be, but living in the present and accepting it as it is now. - Anne Lindbergh

What Is Love?

Love is an intense feeling of liking for a person or an object. The intensity and strength of this emotion varies from person to person, and from object to object. What is certain is that we all have the capacity to love, to give love – and we all need to be loved.

Love doesn’t need to be perfect; nor logical. It just needs to be true and it only has to make sense to two people. And for love to be of value, it must be given freely.

Love takes time to grow. It grows each day in its special way, with the things we do and words we say. It's hard work, but if we work at it, we greatly improve our chances of making love stay. In love, we should love people for who they are, not for who we want them to be.

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz define love as “to be delighted by the happiness of another”. What is your definition of love?

The secret of love is seeking variety in your life together, and never letting routine chords dull the melody of your romance. - Unknown

When people love each other, when they find each other out of thousands and millions of people, it's always destiny. - Sergei Lukyanenko

If a man can be properly said to love something, it must be clear that he feels affection for it as a whole, and does not love part of it to the exclusion of the rest. - Plato

There isn’t any formula or method. You learn to love by loving – by paying attention and doing what one thereby discovers has to be done. - Aldous Huxley

When you truly care for someone, their mistakes don’t change how you feel because it is the mind that gets angry, not the heart. The heart’s love is unconditional. - Unknown

The best love is the one that makes you a better person, without changing you into someone other than yourself. - Unknown

People should not judge failed love affairs as failed experiences, but as part of the growth process. Something does not have to end well for it to have been one of the most valuable experiences of a lifetime. - Ethel Person

Love cannot be measured by the bunches of flowers, or the boxes of chocolates. But love can be measured by actions – little actions. It can be a small thing, such as peeling an orange for a person you love because you know they don’t like doing it. - Marian Keyes

Everyone admits that love is wonderful and necessary, yet no one agrees on just what it is. - Diane Ackerman

Maybe love isn’t what we’ve been told. Maybe it’s not all romance or attraction. Maybe love is a friend. Someone who understands you. Someone who’ll be there for you… even at your worst. - R. M. Drake

It Is Difficult To Love

Love is never easy. Easy to say we love, but difficult to demonstrate it every day.

To love someone is to take a chance with love, with that someone you love. Some people called it a leap of faith. Only time will tell if the love works out. If it doesn’t, you could be in a very bad spot. You could be very miserable, deeply hurt and pained by someone you love and trust.

A lot of love and marriages failed because people think that the period of courtship is what love is like. They are deluded if that’s what they think. The real test of love comes after the honeymoon is over.

For love to grow and stay, for a relationship, or marriage to work, both partners have to put in effort. Both have to be committed, and trust in each other.

The following are some thoughts on love, some suggestions, and advice on how to make love stay.

You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving. - Anatole France

No matter how you look at it, all the emotions connected with love are not really immortal; like all other passions in life, they are bound to fade at some point. The trick is to convert love into some lasting friendship that overcomes the fading passion. - Harold Pinter

The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them with our own image – otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them. - Unknown

Pure love and suspicion cannot dwell together; at the door where the latter enters, the former makes its exit. - Alexandre Dumas

Unconditional love may fail, but love with conditions does not even have a chance. - Unknown

Love is always a stranger in the house of avarice. - Andreas Capellanus

The best proof of love is trust. - Joyce Brothers

Love endures only when the lovers love many things together and not merely each other. - Walter Lippmann

Love and money should properly have nothing to do with each other. - John Saul

Love cannot be found where it doesn’t exist. There’s a difference between being patient with someone and wasting your time. - Unknown

Love cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil of another’s heart, or its flame burns low. - Henry Ward Beecher

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing. - Anais Nin

About Love

Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth after we are married, or at the end of a love affair. All love shifts and changes. No one can be wholeheartedly in love all the time. True love requires comitment, faith, trust and loyalty, not chocolate, flowers and expensive gifts.

You come to love not by finding the perfect person - because there is no such thing as a 'perfect person', but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly. You don’t love someone because they’re perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they’re not.

Gradually or suddenly, they fall out of love. Once again they are two separate individuals. At this point they begin either to dissolve the ties of their relationship or to initiate the work of real loving. - M. Scott Peck

If you think love makes you happy, you've either never been in love, or never been in love long enough to have to start compromising. - Laurel K. Hamilton

The magic of first love is our ignorance that it can never end. - Benjamin Disraeli

The course of true love never did run smooth. - William Shakespeare

We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love. - Tom Robbins

We all suffer from the preoccupation that there exists in the loved one, perfection. - Sidney Poitier

The roads of life are strewn with the wreckage of run-down and half-finished loves. - Ralph W. Sockman

We cannot reason ourselves into love, nor can we reason ourselves out of it, which suggests that love and reason have little to do with each other. - Christian Nestell Bovee

It is easy to love people in memory; the hard thing is to love them when they are there in front of you. - John Updike

You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving. - Amy Carmichael

Sensuality often hastens the growth of love so much that the roots remain weak and are easily torn up. - Friedrich Nietzschie

Love for those too easily won does not last long. - Roman Proverb

Don’t love too deeply until you’re sure that the other person loves you with the same depth. Because the depth of your love today is the depth of your wound tomorrow. - Unknown

True love requires faith, trust and loyalty. Not chocolate, flowers and expensive gifts. - Unknown

If being loved is your goal, you will fail to achieve it. The only way to be assured of being loved is to be a person worthy of love. - M. Scott Peck

Love - Quotes

The world is a wonderfully weird place, consensual reality is significantly flawed, no institution can be trusted, certainty is a mirage, security a delusion, and the tyranny of the dull mind forever threatens – but our lives are not as limited as we think they are, all things are possible, laughter is holier than piety, freedom is sweeter than fame, and in the end it's love and love alone that really matters. - Tom Robbins

If you love something, love it completely, cherish it, say it, but most importantly show it. Life is finite and fragile, and just because something is there one day, it might not be the next. Never take that for granted. Say what you need to say, then say a little more. Say too much. Show too much. Love too much. Everything is temporary but Love. Love outlives us all. - Unknown

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

Love - Quotes

The feeling of love is the emotion that accompanies the experience of cathecting. Cathecting, it will be remembered, is the process by which an object becomes important to us. Once cathected, the object, commonly referred to as a ‘love object,’ is invested with our energy as if it were a part of ourselves, and this relationship between us and the invested object is called a cathexis. - M. Scott Peck

What you describe is parasitism, not love. When you require another individual for your survival, you are a parasite on that individual. There is no choice, no freedom involved in your relationship. It is a matter of necessity rather than love. Love is the free exercise of choice. Two people love each other only when they are quite capable of living without each other but choose to live with each other. - M. Scott Peck

The genuine lover always respects and even encourages this separateness and the unique individuality of the beloved. Failure to perceive and respect this separateness is extremely common, however, and the cause of much mental illness and unnecessary suffering. - M. Scott Peck

On Love

Just as reality intrudes upon the two-year-old’s fantasy of omnipotence so does reality intrude upon the fantastic unity of the couple who have fallen in love. Sooner or later, in response to the problems of daily living, individual will reasserts itself. He wants to have sex; she doesn’t. She wants to go to the movies; he doesn’t. He wants to put money in the bank; she wants a dishwasher. She wants to talk about her job; he wants to talk about his. She doesn’t like his friends; he doesn’t like hers. So both of them, in the privacy of their hearts, begin to come to the sickening realization that they are not one with the beloved, that the beloved has and will continue to have his or her own desires, tastes, prejudices and timing different from the other’s. One by one, gradually or suddenly, the ego boundaries snap back into place; gradually or suddenly, they fall out of love. Once again they are two separate individuals. At this point they begin either to dissolve the ties of their relationship or to initiate the work of real loving. - M. Scott Peck

When a person falls in love what he or she certainly feels is ‘I love him’ or ‘I love her.’ But two problems are immediately apparent. The first is that the experience of falling in love is specifically a sex-linked erotic experience. We do not fall in love with our children even though we may love them very deeply. We do not fall in love with our friends of the same sex – unless we are homosexually oriented – even though we may care for them greatly. We fall in love only when we are consciously or unconsciously sexually motivated. The second problem is that the experience of falling in love is invariably temporary. No matter whom we fall in love with, we sooner or later fall out of love if the relationship continues long enough. This is not to say that we invariably cease loving the person with whom we fell in love. But it is to say that the feeling of ecstatic lovingness that characterizes the experience of falling in love always passes. The honeymoon always ends. The bloom of romance always fades. - M. Scott Peck

Days will come when the magic of the senses shall fade. And when this enchantment has fled, then it first becomes evident whether we are truly worthy of love. - T. S. Arthur

If a man can be properly said to love something, it must be clear that he feels affection for it as a whole, and does not love part of it to the exclusion of the rest. - Plato

In love, you shouldn’t only share hugs and kisses, you should also share problems, you should always tell your partner first no matter what because it’s not healthy for the relationship if your partner will know your problems through other people. - Dianne Grace

You know, I think everybody longs to be loved, and longs to know that he or she is lovable. And, consequently, the greatest thing that we can do is to help somebody know that they're loved and capable of loving. - Fred Rogers

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 on watering it. You’ve got to really look after it and nurture it. - John Lennon

Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible – it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could. - Barbara de Angelis

Love is absolute loyalty. People fade, looks fade, but loyalty never fades. You can depend so much on certain people; you can set your watch by them. And that’s love, even if it doesn’t seem very exciting. - Sylvester Stallone

For true love is inexhaustible; the more you give, the more you have. And if you go to draw at the true fountainhead, the more water you draw, the more abundant is its flow. - Antoine de Saint-Exuper
