“Love can defeat that nameless terror. Loving one another, we take the sting from death.”

“The frost stings sweetly with a burning kiss
As intimate as love, as cold as death.”

“Love does not take away from one in order to give to another.”

“No power from above can make one human love another. Love comes from within the heart. (Julian)”

“If we do not know how to take care of ourselves and to love ourselves, we cannot take care of the people we love. Loving oneself is the foundation for loving another person.”

“Life cannot defeat a writer who is in love with writing - for life itself is a writer's love until death.”

“We are not trapped or locked up in these bones. No, no. We are free to change. And love changes us. And if we can love one another, we can break open the sky.”

“We treat love as possession. But in reality, no one can own another individual.”

“We are fated to love one another; we hardly exist outside our love, we are just animals without it, with a birth and a death and constant fear between. Our love has lifted us up, out of the dreadfulness of merely living.”

“From a religious perspective, loving one another is the highest commandment. From a spiritual perspective, loving one another is the wisdom of the ages. From a political perspective, loving one another is just the smartest thing to do. Plus, today it’s the only survivable option.”
