Knowing Love Quotes

We fear that evaluating our needs and then carefully choosing partners will reveal that there is no one for us to love. Most of us prefer to have a partner who is lacking than no partner at all. What becomes apparent is that we may be more interested in finding a partner than in knowing love.

But the way I see it, dying without knowing love would be a tragedy.

Afraid to Die Loveless Because I think if you die without knowing love in this life, that's how you'll spend eternity. Alone. Frozen.

There's a truth deeper than experience. It's beyond what we see, or even what we feel. It's an order of truth that separates the profound from the merely clever, and the reality from the perception. We're helpless, usually, in the face of it; and the cost of knowing it, like the cost of knowing love, is sometimes greater than any heart would willingly pay. It doesn't always help us to love the world, but it does prevent us from hating the world. And the only way to know that truth is to share it, from heart to heart, just as Prabhakar told it to me, just as I'm telling it to you now.

How different things might be if, rather than saying "I think I'm in love," we were saying "I've connected with someone in a way that makes me think I'm on the way to knowing love." Or if instead of saying "I am in love" we say "I am loving" or "I will love." Our patterns around romantic love are unlikely to change if we do not change our language.

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source.

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.

If I know what love is, it is because of you.

Knowing love or the hope of knowing love is the anchor that keeps us from falling into that sea of despair.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.

'Twas not my lips you kissed but my soul.

Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.

Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.

You know you're in love when you stop comparing.

You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.
