141 " He was afraid of letting anyone know of his love, because if life had taught him anything, it was that love wasn’t a prize, it was a weapon. And he was so tired of being hurt. "
― Brittainy C. Cherry , The Fire Between High & Lo (Elements, #2)
142 " When you think about all the infinitely many galaxies and combinations of DNA, and against all those odds you meet this person - it's a miracle...' 'Right,' I said. I couldn't imagine viewing Bill's presence on Earth as any kind of a miracle, but wasn't that itself the miracle - that love really was an obscure and unfathomable connection between individuals, and not an economic contest where everyone was matched up by how quantifiably lovable they are? "
― Elif Batuman , The Idiot
143 " The soul will take that love and put it where it can best be used. "
144 " Do not inflict your will. Just give love. The soul will take that love and put it where it can best be used. "
145 " ... it’s you. You with that bloody obsession, that love of other that runs like a seam of gold through you. That life unlike any other. That wild, endless curiosity. Obsession. Even that maddening fucking code of honor. All of it. You, Benedict. You– "
― Jae T. Jaggart , Objects Of His Obsession
146 " I'm not saying that love always takes you to heaven. Your life can become a nightmare. But that said, it is worth taking the risk. "
147 " I work really hard at trying to see the big picture and not getting stuck in ego. I believe we're all put on this planet for a purpose, and we all have a different purpose... When you connect with that love and that compassion, that's when everything unfolds. "
148 " The fact is that love is of two kinds, one which commands, and one which obeys. The two are quite distinct, and the passion to which the one gives rise is not the passion of the other. "
149 " Loved. You can't use it in the past tense. Death does not stop that love at all. "
150 " In the flush of love's light, we dare be brave. And suddenly we see that love costs all we are, and will ever be. Yet it is only love which sets us free. "
151 " The truth is that love smashes into your life like an ice floe, and even if your heart is built like the Titanic you go down. "
152 " The sinner who suddenly realizes God's love for him and then looks at his rejection of that love feels a loss similar to the death of a loved one. A deep void is created in the soul and a loneliness akin to the agony of death. "
153 " Every morning, I wake up and think about 10 different things I'm thankful for, and I continue to spread that love throughout the day, always visualizing, meditating, and growing. "
154 " A thought transfixed me: for the first time in my life, I saw the truth as it is set into song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers. The truth - that love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire. "
155 " I think friendship is more important than love, but that love that grows out of friendship is the very best of all. "
156 " I am a free lover. I have an inalienable, constitutional and natural right to love whom I may, to love as long or short a period as I can; to change that love every day if I please. "
