love-2
My friend, Shahab, sent me this excellent document of what people have said throughout the history about love.
Enjoy!
Love is eternal -- the aspect may change, but not the essence There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning. The lamp was there and was a good lamp, but now it is shedding light too, and that is its real function. And love makes one calmer about many things, and that way, one is more fit for one's work.
--Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890)
Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies.
--John Donne
It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations
--Kahlil Gibran
Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.
--Mozart
I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I have ever known.
--Walt Disney
Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illumines it
--Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968)
When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall - think of it, ALWAYS.
--Mahatma Gandhi
A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path
--Agatha Christie (1890 - 1976)
The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.
--Henry Ward Beecher
The story of a love is not important - what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity.
--Helen Hayes
If you would be loved, love and be lovable.
--Benjamin Franklin
Love is not something you feel. It's something you do.
--David Wilkerson
When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him. In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
--Albert Camus (1913-1960)
Relationships are like Rome. Difficult to start out, incredible during the prosperity of the 'Golden Age', and unbearable during the fall. Then, a new kingdom will come along and the whole process will repeat itself until you come across a kingdom like Egypt...that thrives, and continues to flourish. This kingdom will become your best friend, your soulmate, and your love.
--Helen Keller
He then adds:
These were some quotes form famous people about LOVE.
I’m not completely agreed with all of them, but as you can see, we have different definitions, but I think it is interesting to see, LOVE definition from different points of view.
Last night, I attended to a talk given by some fellow with the title of “Eblise Ashegh”, which means “LOVER SATAN” that was amazing talk. It was concluded that Satan is fallen in love with god and that’s why he/she accepted this rule, to be devil.
I am going to ask him to write his talk and I will post it to you as soon as he finishes the writing.
