Immature love says: "I love you because I

you." - Erich Fromm 1900-1980
Love is that condition in which the happiness
of another person is essential to your own. - Robert A.
Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land, 1961, 34.
Love is, above all, the gift of oneself. - Jean Anouilh, Ardele, 1948, (2, translated by Lucienne
Hill)
Love yourself first and everything else falls
into line - Lucille Ball
Proactive people make love a verb. Love is something you do: the sacrifices you make, the giving of self, like a mother bringing a newborn into the world. If you want to study love, study those who sacrifice for others, even for people who offend or do not love in return. If you are a parent, look at the love you have for the children you sacrificed for. Love is a value that is actualized through loving actions. Proactive people subordinate feelings to values. Love, the feeling, can be recaptured. - Stephen R. Covey

You get joy from making your love
happy.
You have no interest in others who would
normally attract you.
When you long to be in your love's arms every
second of the day.
It actually feels like your feelings are
physically coming from your heart.
When you think of your love and smile no
matter how hard your day has been.
You see your love with all their
imperfections, yet know they are perfect for
you.

Some quotes from the book:
"Finding and keeping love is not just a
romantic idea; it's crucial to our intact survival."
"Relationships pave the way for us to
recapture our wholeness by correcting the distortions of
caretaking and socialization that distanced us from our
original selves (when just born). It is in unconditional
loving our partner, making it safe for them to open to love,
letting that love sink in over time so that trust can build,
that allows their fullness to come back into being, so they
can feel their oneness (like the baby in the womb), their
totality. ...love is the answer. It is the love we give that
heals our partner, and the love we receive that heals
us. |
