About This Quote
The above three quotes are all about love. Love is something that can be the most romantic of the things in life. It’s something that people can get passionate about and can be willing to do anything for. It’s what makes the world go around, and it’s often what makes people happy. When you think of love, who pops into your mind? Your parents? Your spouse? Your friends? A stranger? No one? If you have no idea who you are talking about when you say "love", then I suggest that you define what love means to you, because having no idea how to define love is the same as not having any experience with it.
Or maybe you have had some experience with love, but it’s so diluted or so clouded by time that it seems to have lost its meaning. When we talk about love in this world, we tend to think in terms of romantic relationships. But there are many other forms of love in the world besides romance. There is love between friends, family, coworkers, strangers, animals, plants, children… You get the picture.
Love is everything that connects us all together. Love is what keeps us going when life gets tough. Love is what drives us to move forward even when we want to give up.
Love is what brings us together when we are lonely or alone. Love is what keeps us holding on when we are overtaken by fear or doubt or darkness or pain or sorrow or disappointment… I hope these quotes will help you think about love in a new way and make it more meaningful for you!
