“From love arises hatred of those things which are contrary to what we love, or which oppose and thwart us in those things that we delight in.”

“Maya, we are what we love. We are that we love.”

“What we know is as nothing, if we do not love God properly in all things.”

“How we love to love things for other people; how we love to have other people love things through our eyes.”

“We aren’t the things we collect, acquire, read. We are, for as long as we are here, only love. The things we loved. The people we loved. And these, I think these really do live on”

“Love what we see can from our sight remove,
And things invisible are seen by Love.”

“We become like that which we love. If we love what is base, we become base; but if we love what is noble, we become noble.”

“Can we love but on condition that the thing we love must die?”

“As to love our neighbour as we love ourselves is the great law of Christianity, so it is the great precept of nature to love ourselves only as we love our neighbour, or what comes to the same thing, as our neighbour is capable of loving us.”
