“To love can mean 'to love oneself,' and often love is no more than a juxtaposition of two solitudes.”

“The shortest distance between two points is an intention and this is certainly the case when it comes to becoming more loving to oneself and to others. We must first have the desire and then the intention and commitment to be a source of love — this means that rather than waiting for the world to be more loving, we decide that we will be the first one to reach out and act loving — no matter what!”

“Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love.”

“Love consists of this: two solitudes that meet, protect and greet each other.”

“First of all, let us try to know what love is. If love means to possess someone or something, then that is not real love, not pure love. If loves means to give oneself, to become one with everything and everyone, then that is real love. Real love is total oneness with the object loved and with the Possessor of love.”

“Love life more than the meaning of it.”

“She frowned at him. 'You are in love with solitude.'
'Is there a better cure for the world than solitude?”

“To an ordinary human being, love means nothing if it does not mean loving some people more than others”

“Genuine love should first be directed at oneself; if we do not love ourselves, how can we love others?”

“Love changes everything. Days are longer, words mean more. Love changes everything. Pain is deeper than before. Love can turn your world around, and that world will last forever.”
