Love is an abstract noun, something nebulous. And yet love turns out to be the only part of us that is solid, as the world turns upside down and the screen goes black.

About This Quote

The greatest challenge of life is to have a deep and loving relationship with all those around us. Many people have looked upon love as something that is meant to be found within the confines of a relationship. However, this is not the case. Love can be attained in the simplest of ways.

For example, if someone is kind to you, then you must think about them and want to repay that kindness. However, if you do not express your love and gratitude towards someone who has been kind and helpful towards you, it does not mean that person has done you wrong. This abstract concept of love is what makes life worth living.

The world may turn upside down and we may lose sight of our loved ones. Yet we will never truly be lost as we will always find ourselves tied to those we love through love itself.
