What is Love?

To love a person is to learn the song
That is in their heart,
And to sing it to them
When they have forgotten.

Before it has cooled off.
It takes you by surprise at first,
But keeps you warm for a long time. Anonymous

Romantic Art - A Young Couple Returning From Shooting What is Love?

Romantic Art - Claudio and Isabella What is Love?

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. I Corinthians 13:4-8

Love will not be constrained by mastery; when mastery comes, the God of love at once beats his wings, and farewell -- he is gone. Love is a thing as free as any spirit; Chaucer

You call it madness, but I call it love. Don Byas

Infantile love follows the principle: "I love because I am loved."

Immature love says: "I love you because I need you."
Mature love says: "I need you because I love you." Erich Fromm

What is Love?

Love is the expansion of two natures in such fashion that each include the other, each is enriched by the other. Felix Adler

You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else. Hermann Hesse

Love is the strange bewilderment which overtakes one person on account of another person. James Thurber and E.B. White

Love is more than just a feeling: it's a process requiring continual attention. Loving well takes laughter, loyalty, and wanting more to be able to say, "I understand" than to hear, "You're right." Molleen Matsumura

Love is that condition in which
The happiness of another person
Is essential to your own. Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land

If I know what love is,
It is because of you. Herman Hesse

Love doesn't make the world go round,
Love is what makes the ride worthwhile. Elizabeth Browning

Love is a haunting melody
That I have never mastered
And I fear I never will. William S. Burroughs

Love is not a matter of counting the years...
But making the years count. Michelle St. Amand

What is Love?

Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible - it cannot be seen or measured - yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more than any material possession ever could. Barbara De Angelis

Love is the affinity which links and draws together the elements of the world... Love, in fact, is the agent of universal synthesis. Pierre Teilhard De Chardin

Romantic Art - Carousing Couple What is Love?

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. Erich Fromm

What we need to know about loving is no great mystery. We all know what constitutes loving behavior; we need but act upon it, not continually question it. Over-analysis often confuses the issue and in the end brings us no closer to insight. We sometimes become too busy classifying, separating, and examining, to remember that love is easy. It's we who make it complicated. Leo Buscaglia

What is Love?

Love grows by giving. The love we give away is the only love we keep. The only way to retain love is to give it away. Elbert Hubbard

The most powerful symptom of love is a tenderness which becomes at times almost insupportable. Victor Hugo

Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself. Leo Buscaglia

What is Love?

Eventually you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is. Gary Zukav (American best selling author)

Love, I find, is like singing. Everybody can do enough to satisfy themselves, though it may not impress the neighbors as being very much. Zora Neale Hurston

For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation. Rainer Maria Rilke

What is Love?

Oh love will make a dog howl in tune. Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher The Queen of Corinth

Love is sometimes denied, sometimes lost,
sometimes unrecognized, but in the end,
always found with no regrets, forever valued
and kept treasured. Unknown

Love puts the fun in together,
The sad in apart,
The hope in tomorrow,
The joy in the heart. Anonymous

This is the true measure of love: When we believe that we alone can love, that no one could ever have loved so before us, and that no one will ever love in the same way after us. Goethe

So, What is Love to you?
