To love Quotes

“Love is a battle with yourself. Be kind and love yourself before you love anyone else.”

“The only way love can last a lifetime is if it's unconditional. The truth is this: love is not determined by the one being loved but rather by the one choosing to love.”

“I love you without knowing how, nor when, nor from where,I love you directly without problems or pride:I love you this way because I know no other way to love,”

“That's the nature of women, not to love when we love them, and to love when we love them not.”

“My job, my only job here in this moment, is to love myself and, by extension, to love others. My job is just to live and to realize that to live is to love.”

“We are born ready to love and be loved. It is our birthright.”

“We love to love and feel loved because love is the greatest pleasure of all.”

“You haven't loved yet," he said. "You've only been trying to love; beginning to love. Trust alone is not love, illusion is not love, desire alone is not love. All these were paths leading you out of yourself, it is true, and so you thought they led to another, but you never reached the other. You were only on the way.”

“One of the best guides to how to be self-loving is to give ourselves the love we are often dreaming about receiving from others. There was a time when I felt lousy about my over-forty body, saw myself as too fat, too this, or too that. Yet I fantasized about finding a lover who would give me the gift of being loved as I am. It is silly, isn't it, that I would dream of someone else offering to me the acceptance and affirmation I was withholding from myself. This was a moment when the maxim "You can never love anybody if you are unable to love yourself" made clear sense. And I add, "Do not expect to receive the love from someone else you do not give yourself.”
