Love, Life, Quotes, and Quotations

“Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.” — Aristotle
This is an old quote, but a good one. Two people in love are connected so completely that it’s as if they have one soul. They feel each other’s pain and delight in each other’s achievements.
“I wished for nothing beyond her smile, and to walk with her thus, hand in hand, along a sun-warmed, flower-bordered path.” — Andre Gide

“The life and love we create is the life and love we live.”
– Leo Buscaglia
This is an important sentiment. If we don’t give our love fully, than we won’t receive it back. We must take a chance on love for the opportunity to be loved. This can be a scary risk, but one that we’ll receive many rewards for pursuing.
“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, While loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
– Lao Tzu
Those who love us raise us up and make us feel strong, but because love can be so deeply scary, giving our love gives us the most courage. We must be brave in order to gain strength and with the one we love, we can find both.
“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

“For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.”
– Ivan Panin
This is a lovely sentiment, especially for those who are yet to find the love of their life. Somewhere out there is someone who will love each and everyone of us in a way that was just meant to be. Sometimes we can lose hope that we’ll ever find our soul mate, this quote reminds us to never give up.
“The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed.” — Chamfort

“We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.” — Sam Keen
This is an important lessen for those of us who are sometimes picky when choosing a mate. There is no such thing as a perfect person and we will never find one. Instead, we must learn to love the imperfections in the people around us.
“I believe that two people are connected at the heart, and it doesn’t matter what you do, or who you are or where you live; there are no boundaries or barriers if two people are destined to be together.” — Julia Roberts
This is a beautiful sentiment from a beautiful actress. Family values, cultures, friends, and a number of other factors can convince a couple that their love was not meant to be, but there is nothing that should prevent us from pursuing love.
“Love doesn’t make the world go ’round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.” — Franklin P. Jones
There is little enjoyment in a life that isn’t shared. Love isn’t what motivates us to live, but what makes our lives valuable and enjoyable. A life with no love is not nearly as wonderful as one that is full of it.
“I love you, not only for what you are, But for what I am when I am with you.” — Roy Croft

“In love there are two things: bodies and words.” — Joyce Carol Oates
There is great value in the things we say and the things we do. Body language is extremely important in loving relationships. Sometimes the gentlest touch can say far more than words, but everyone loves to hear beautiful love-filled words as well.
“It’s so easy, To think about Love, To Talk about Love, To wish for Love, But it’s not always easy, To recognize Love, Even when we hold it…. In our hands.” — Jaka
