How can the feeling man resist feeling, the loving one love? Who has not experienced the overwhelming power of melody? And what else is melody but the power of feeling? Music is the language of feeling; … feeling communicates itself. … Is it man that possesses love, or is it not … love that possesses man? When love impels a man to suffer death even joyfully for the beloved one, is this death-conquering power his own individual power, or is it not rather the power of love? . Ludwig Feuerbach
About This Quote

The power of love, or passion, is what makes the world go round. It is the driving force behind everything that we do. Love can manifest itself in many different ways, be it in music, art, literature or even in people’s relationships with one another. People who are in love will feel better about things than those who are not.

They will strive harder to make their beloved happy and they will be willing to give up whatever they have to make this happen. This is because they want to experience the joy that being in love brings them. Without love in their lives, people would just be drifters.

Their lives would have no meaning and they would have no reason to get up each day and create a new day for themselves.
