Love should be a reality in your life, not just a poem, not just a dream. It has to be actualized. It is never too late to experience love for the first time. Learn to love. Very few people know how to love. They all know that love is needed, they all know that without love life is meaningless, but they don’t know how to love.

Osho

The amount of happiness that you have depends on the amount of freedom you have in your heart.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Love is not giving up your story to become someone else's.

 It is coexistence of two stories.

Sunnydreams

This heart is not

a summer field

and yet...

how dense love's foliage

has grown.

Izumi Shikibu

Come

Come

let's fall

in love

again

let's turn

all the dirt

in this world

to shiny gold.

Come

let's be

a new spring

a love reborn.

Find our aroma

from the essence

of all who

emit heavenly fragrance.

Like a fresh tree

bloom and spread

all the blessings

right from inside.

Rumi

There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true friends. 

That magnet is unselfishness, thinking of others first;

when you learn to live for others, they will live for you. 

Paramahansa Yogananda

To return to love, to get the love we always wanted but never had, to have the love we want but are not prepared to give, we seek romantic relationships. We believe these relationships, more than any other, will rescue and redeem us. True love does have the power to redeem but only if we are ready for redemption. Love saves us only if we want to be saved.

Bell Hooks

The wounded child inside many males is a boy who, when he first spoke his truths, was silenced by paternal sadism, by a patriarchal world that did not want him to claim his true feelings. 

The wounded child inside many females is a girl who was taught from early childhood that she must become something other than herself, deny her true feelings, in order to attract and please others.

When men and women punish each other for truth telling, we reinforce the notion that lies are better. To be loving we willingly hear the other’s truth, and most important, we affirm the value of truth telling. Lies may make people feel better, but they do not help them to know love.

Bell Hooks

A person who asks love of others, but does not himself give it, cannot be loved. Always be the first to give love and it shall be given to you. As long as you do not give your heart first, you will be far from love.
