We are loved if we love, another truth we always seem to forget....Loving requires so much courage and so little expectation.

About This Quote

We are loved if we love, another truth we always seem to forget. The fact is that no one can force us to love others. It’s just something that happens naturally when love reaches into our hearts. When you have someone who truly loves you, then you know that you are loved.

You don’t need to ask for it, but it has already happened. Loving requires so much courage and so little expectation. Love is not about the expectations of what other people might or might not do.

Love is about choosing to love another person because your heart wants to give yourself up to them.
