Your life and my life flow into each other as wave flows into wave, and unless there is peace and joy and freedom for you, there can be no real peace or joy or freedom for me. To see reality–not as we expect it to be but as it is–is to see that unless we live for each other and in and through each other, we do not really live very satisfactorily; that there can really be life only where there really is, in just this sense, love.
– Frederick Buechner, The Magnificent Defeat
Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.
– Marcus Aurelius
“The more you are motivated by love, the more fearless and free your actions will be.”
– Dalai Lama
To say “Love hurts” would not be true;
not giving Love keeps hurting you.
And not accepting Love brings pain,
when you’re without it once again.
– Michael Star
“Nothing can make one so happily exhilarated or so frightened: it’s a solid lesson in the limitations of self to realize that your heart is running around inside someone else’s body.”
– Christopher Hitchens
