Although love is a less feeling part of life, it is a foundation upon which meaningful relationships and personal happiness lie. What I have gathered through my own life is that love mostly requires patience, courage, and self-sacrifice. The words “The sparks rekindle, or we clarify things” may sometimes be sufficient. This is why I cared to go through these quotes – each one provides an exclusive approach to seeing love and its strong influences in our lives.
“Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.” – Aristotle
The ancient phrase brings us to our senses about the closely connected bond with our cherished ones. It implies that love negates individuality, thus, become a bond so energetic, as to mingle the two lives as one. My marriage has exemplified this when, in the quiet, wordless, times where the words were no more than our actions did two things; they spoke the truth and they were doing the relationship. True love is a combination of the soul harmony of two partners.
“To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.” – David Viscott
This quote gives the picture of the warmth that love brings. Giving love and receiving it in return that it happens to be two sides of the sun, which surrounds you with its brilliance. I have personally seen the power of small acts of kindness in leaving a small note for my partner and making this character a part of our day-to-day life.
“Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.”– William Shakespeare
Shakespeare’s awesome advice on love rotates around the concept of loving but being wise in the process. Love is a sacred bond among the people over and above the trust it establishes. A person who was close to me once shared how to love properly, by respecting your own space – love is based on not giving up who we truly are.
“Love is a friendship set to music.”– Joseph Campbell
Being a great associate, Joseph Campbell expressed the melody of closeness thus bits and pieces of his lyrics are directly caught in the heart of the lover’s. My better half and I love to joke around that laughter is actually our love tune, it is the song that keeps us moving forward in our life.
“The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of.”– Blaise Pascal
Pascal’s quote is a perfect explanation of the fact that love has its wonders. There are times when the heart chooses things that are completely unreasonable, and it’s totally fine. Even though my brain denies it, I have been through times when my instincts are the only thing I believed in, which I realized is true love.
“To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.”– Oscar Wilde
Loving yourself first is the stepping stone to all forms of relationships. I went through the hard times I endured in the past, but the daily practice of gratitude and accepting who I am as imperfect gave me the sense that I could love myself and in turn, I could become a better lover of others.
“At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet.”– Plato
Creativity and passion spring forth from people when they fall in love. I started to pen down letters full of genuine and silly rhymes just to show my emotions. Love really draws the artist in each of us.
“Love is not only something you feel, it is something you do.”– David Wilkerson
This means that love is a decision, it strengthens through little actions day by day. It is shown in the little gestures of daily life: cooking a meal, talking attentively, or even just your presence. I’ve learned that love, on the other hand, I have discovered that love is strengthened by consistency of acts of care.
“Love is the strongest force the world possesses.”– Mahatma Gandhi
The intuitive power and the exuberance of love are expressed in Gandhi’s words. I’ve witnessed love in healing a seriously broken relationship and also it has inspired people to sacrifice for the betterment of humanity. It is the only power in the world that can unite diverse cultures and religions.
“A simple ‘I love you’ means more than money.”– Frank Sinatra
Sinatra’s words remind us that love is priceless. Some of my most cherished memories are simple moments of affection, proving that love holds a value that money can never match.
“In dreams and in love, there are no impossibilities.”– János Arany
Love makes us believe in big dreams, even if they are not realistic, and motivates us to succeed. I got my first experience with it when I was planning a trip with my girlfriend abroad, it seemed impossible but I loved how she gave us courage to make it come true.
“Love is the flower you’ve got to let grow.”– John Lennon
A flower is one of those beings that need both time and care to survive and grow well. I’ve discovered that letting a relationship bud takes time, but the flower which comes forth is, without a shadow of a doubt, worth the work.
“Love doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to be true.”
Praising perfectness comes on the surface to the point of not being real, thus love is not authentic. Through this feeling, I have been able to accept the shortcomings and disadvantages in my relationships, which is what makes love raw and real.
“There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart.”– Jane Austen
The nurturing heart is the most attractive feature of a person. A kind word or a gentle gesture might be enough to soften the heart and make it a core element of love. It is the tenderness that makes love so appealing.

Love is the reason for our constant youth and enthusiasm. The existence of old couples who, through their love sparkles, spear them with the light that reminded me of how love revitalizes our souls despite age.

Love has been my home during the times of my anxiety and exhaustion. It doesn’t matter if it is an emotion-filled hug or supportive words, love energizes me.
