“Christ wants to lead men by their love, their personal love to Him, and the confidence of His personal love to them.”

“If a person loves only one other person and is indifferent to all others, his love is not love but a symbiotic attachment, or an enlarged egotism.”

“Christ wanted love to be called his single commandment. This we owe to all men. Nobody is excepted.”

“Personalities don’t love—they want something.”

“All his life he had wanted to be known by just one person. That’s what love was, he decided. Love was being known.”

“Love overlooks a person’s faults. That’s not always easy, but love believes the best in every person. Anybody can return evil for evil, but God wants His people to help heal wounded hearts.”

“The person who loves their dream of community will destroy community, but the person who loves those around them will create community.”

“Part of love is letting a person be who they want to be”

“Who is the loving person? The loving person is the person who loves him or herself. I say this so often, and people say, "Oh yes, you're so right," but they don't do it! You will never be able to love anyone else until you love yourself. Even With your Fat Thighs!”

“Growing up in a home of abuse, you struggle with the notion that you can love a person you hate, or hate a person you love. It’s a strange feeling. You want to live in a world where someone is good or bad, where you either hate them or love them, but that’s not how people are.”
