And this I know: whether the one True Light

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

Rumi

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.

Honoré de Balzac

To the untrue man, the whole universe is false- it is impalpable- it shrinks to nothing within his grasp. And he himself is in so far as he shows himself in a false light, becomes a shadow, or, indeed, ceases to exist.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

In love, unlike most other passions, the recollection of what you have had and lost is always better than what you can hope for in the future.

Stendhal

Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate in their object-relations.

Sigmund Freud
