Bertrand Russell:
A sense of duty is useful in work, but offensive in personal
relations. People wish to be liked, not be endured with patient
resignation.
Bible:
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always
perseveres.
Love never fails.
I Corinthians 13:4-8 |

Blaise Pascal:
The heart has its reasons which reason knows not of.
C.S. Lewis:
Why love if losing hurts so much? We love to know that we
are not alone.
Carl Jung:
Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power
predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow
of the other.
Carter Heyward:
Love, like truth and beauty, is concrete. Love is not
fundamentally a sweet feeling; not, at heart, a matter of
sentiment, attachment, or being "drawn toward." Love is
active, effective, a matter of making reciprocal and
mutually beneficial relation with one's friends and enemies.
