About This Quote
Love cannot be forced, love cannot be coaxed and teased. It comes out of heaven, unasked and unsought. Love has an ethereal quality that cannot be pinned down or explained away. You can’t make someone love you or force them to care for you. Only when you love yourself can you love others and only when they feel loved can they reciprocate your feelings, giving you the gift of love in return.
