While a person expects love and attention from others and lives by it, he will never be satisfied, he will demand more and more, and everything will not be enough for him. In the end, he will end up at a broken trough, like the old woman who wanted a goldfish to serve her. Such a person is always internally unfree, dependent on how he is treated. You need to discover this source of love and goodness within yourself. And the discovery must take place not in the mind, but in the heart of a person, not theoretically, but by internal experience. T.A. Florenskaya

It is much easier to grieve for someone you love than to live with someone you hate. J. Labruyère

Anyone who wants to see the living God should look for him not in the empty firmament of his own mind, but in human love. F.M. Dostoevsky.

The lover wants happiness for himself, the happiness of a creatively beautiful community. If at the same time he does not want the happiness of his beloved being, if his heart does not think in its depths about sacrifices, if it does not put the happiness of his beloved being above his own, then his love is selfish and selfish: oh, then this is not true love...Ilyin Ivan

To fall in love with a person who loves you back is a miracle in itself. But it’s even better, even more important, to find a kindred spirit in him. A truly soulmate is someone who understands you like no one else, loves you like no other, who is always there for you, no matter what happens.

“A lover is blind, but the visible trace of his passion leads to places where sighted people cannot go.”

“Girls, take pity on someone who talks about love without being in love, because he who pretends to be in love will soon fall before his game and seriously fall in love.” Ovid.

“Love forgives everything except voluntary absence” Stendhal

“A jealous person spends his life in search of a secret, the discovery of which destroys his own well-being.” Axel Oxenstierna

“Respect has limits, but love does not.” Lermontov

Jealousy is not connected with human freedom. In jealousy there is an instinct of ownership and dominance, but in a state of humiliation. It is necessary to recognize the right of love and deny the right of jealousy, ceasing to idealize it... Jealousy is the tyranny of man over man. Female jealousy is especially disgusting, turning a woman into a fury. Nikolai Alexandrovich Berdyaev

With her I can be who I am. And not the way I'm used to. Aglaya Durso.

The heart of a woman, offended by betrayal in her love, is like a fortress captured, devastated and abandoned. Washington Irving

Love rewards with stability. Not that generally accepted stability with an established life routine - here there is extraordinary calm and confidence that the same soul mate in search of which went through fire, water, hundreds copper pipes, found. True love, unlike falling in love, cannot be noisy and impulsive. True love, like a newborn stream, makes its own course. Elchin Safarli.

You have no right to demand that the one you love love you... No one is obliged to share your feelings and respond to them. If feelings coincide, this is great and rare happiness. If they do not match, this is a common occurrence. Sergey Rudenko

To say that it is impossible to love the same woman is as meaningless as to say that a famous musician needs different violins to play different melodies. Honore de Balzac.

The stronger a person’s character, the less prone he is to inconstancy in love. Stendhal

To be happy, you need to know not passionate, but voluptuous love. Helvetius Claude

Two people who have chosen each other over all other people in order to bring each other love and support must show a sense of humor, friendliness, prudence, the ability to forgive, patience and cordiality, must remember how fragile and fragile the life of a human being is, and respect each other until the end of our days. Joseph Addison

Essential for any love is that the loved one is perceived as something beautiful, precious, accessible to love. If a person is only useful to me, if I can use his qualities to my benefit, then in this case there are no prerequisites for love. The sacrifice necessary for any love - be it parental love, the love of children for parents, love for friends or marital love - necessarily presupposes that a loved one appears to us as something extremely valuable, beautiful - objectively worthy of love. Hildebrand, Catholic theologian.

Traitors see betrayal everywhere. Anne and Serge Golon

True love is not real if it is not mutual. Alexandra Marinina

Love is poor if it can be measured. William Shakespeare

In my opinion, the most important thing is to be able to live with someone, to be able to constantly compromise, to take into account the interests of another person, because it is impossible to live in a family, thinking only about yourself and your desires. So in the family we learn a lot: character, firmness... and at the same time compliance, gentleness, tolerance. Tamara Gverdtsiteli.

A woman in love with you can help increase your creativity, can inspire you to heights you never even dreamed of. And she doesn't ask for anything in return. She just needs your love, and this is her natural right. Osho (Bhagwan Shri Rajneesh).

To love means to see a person as God intended him to be. F. M. Dostoevsky.

Loving is not everything, you also need to be loved.

Love is the only one of all spheres of human communication that is an amazing interweaving of spiritual and physical pleasure, creating a feeling of life being filled with meaning and happiness. S. Ilyina.

Love is like the sea. Its breadth knows no shores. Give her all your blood and soul: there is no other measure here. Hafiz

Love is a wise invention of nature: the one who loves easily does what he should. Wilhelm Schwebel

Love is the universal energy of life, which has the ability to transform evil passions into creative passions. Nikolay Berdyaev

Love is the discovery of oneself in other people and the delight of recognition. Alexander Smith

Love is life itself, but not unreasonable, suffering and perishing life, but blissful and endless life. Lev Tolstoy

The meaning and dignity of love as a feeling lies in the fact that it forces us, with our whole being, to recognize in another the unconditional central significance that, due to egoism, we feel only in ourselves. Love is important not as one of our feelings, but as a transfer of all our vital interest from ourselves to another, as a rearrangement of the very center of our personal life. This is characteristic of all love, but especially sexual love; it differs from other types of love by its greater intensity, more exciting nature, and the possibility of more complete and comprehensive reciprocity; only this love can lead to a real and inextricable union of two lives into one, only about it and in the word of God it is said: the two will become one flesh, that is, they will become one real being. Vladimir Solovyov, Russian philosopher.

Love that wants to be only spiritual becomes a shadow; if she is deprived spiritual origin, then she is vulgar. G. Senkevich
in less than two months the spring water becomes bitter. Stendhal

Many men are afraid of women whom they need to grow up to; it’s easier to use those to whom they can stoop...

A man capable of action is doomed to be loved. Coco Chanel

We are made for love. The meaning of life is a mystery, and it is revealed in love, through the one we love. Thomas Merton

Never be afraid to voice your feelings. After all, you never know at what moment they will do it for you. And, perhaps, you will never know whose sincerity the heart of your passion was waiting for. Perhaps it is your words that will give birth to something extraordinary strong feeling, capable of captivating the mind and stopping time for a moment.

Passion is a constant hangover, without harsh heaviness, it is eternal flowers under your feet. In front of you is an idol that you want to pray to and die for. Stones are falling on your head, and in your passion you think that roses are flying towards you, you will mistake the gnashing of teeth for music, blows from an expensive hand will seem more tender than your mother’s caresses. Ivan Goncharov

Infatuation and love are different things. You can fall in love with a person you don’t know at all - it’s romance, dizziness, eyes like stars... But you can’t love a person until you really get to know him, go through some trials with him, share with him life is both joy and sadness...
Falling in love cannot last forever, but sometimes love comes in return. Stan Barstow

Being loved for some merit because you “deserve” love always leaves room for doubt. What if the one from whom I expect love does not like this or that about me? There is always a fear that love may suddenly disappear. Moreover, “deserved” love always carries a taste of bitterness, that it is not me who is loved in me, that I am loved only because I give pleasure, that, in the end, I am not loved at all, but only used. Erich Fromm.

People who are in love are like a drunkard: whoever drank will drink; whoever loved will love. Guy de Maupassant

Where they love us is the only place where we are born. George Byron.

Thirst vivid impressions leads us through life, forcing us to jump with a parachute, dive to the bottom of the ocean, storm high inaccessible peaks, or... change. Oleg Roy.

How can you love someone without loving them for who they really are? How can you love me and at the same time ask me to completely change, to become someone else? Romain Gary

When you love, you don’t want to drink any other water than the one you find in your favorite source. Loyalty in this case is a natural thing. In a loveless marriage

When another person's satisfaction, security and development become as important to you as your own satisfaction, security and development, then it can be said to be love. Harry Sullivan.

Only in the raptures of love do they feel the happiness of existence and, pressing lips to lips, exchange souls. Claude Adrian Helvetius.

Love life, and life will love you too. Love people, and people will love you back. Anton Grigorievich Rubinstein.

Often women, although not loving at all, still imagine that they are in love: carried away by intrigue, the natural desire to be loved, the rise mental strength, caused by the adventure, and the fear of offending by refusal - all this leads to the idea that they are passionately in love, when in reality they are only flirting. Francois de La Rochefoucauld.

Feeling our imperfection, we are always looking for someone who could complete us. When in a few years or months love affair We still feel like we're missing something, so we blame our partners for it and rush headlong into a new, more promising relationship. This can last as long as we like and turn into serial polygamy, until one day we realize that another person can bring many sweet moments into our lives, but only we ourselves are responsible for our own completeness and perfection. No one but us can realize our self-realization, and to say otherwise is to be dangerously mistaken and to pre-doom any relationship we enter into failure. Tom Robbins.

Well, how can a woman and a man understand each other, because they both want different things: a man wants a woman, and a woman wants a man. Fridesh Karinthi.

You need to have something in common in order to understand each other, and be different in some way in order to love each other. Paul Geraldi.

What in ordinary human language is called love, this passion that awakens from the contact of two personalities, is not only the means through which generations come to earth. She also creates life in the other world. It is a way of transition from earth to heaven, from material things to spiritual things. Annie Besant.

There's no use wasting your whole life on one the only way, especially if this path has no heart. Carlos Castaneda.

Prudence and love are not made for each other: as love increases, prudence decreases.

You only fall in love with someone else’s, your own - you love. Marina Ivanovna Tsvetaeva.

...The first and main meaning of love lies in the care of nature for the maintenance and reproduction of the human race. But if in the love of people everything was limited only by this calculation of nature, people would not be above animals. Consequently, this sensual desire in love of a person of one sex for a person of the other sex is only one of the elements of the feeling of love, its first moment, followed in development by higher, more spiritual and moral moments. Vissarion Belinsky

A woman is weakest when she loves, and strongest when she is loved. Erich Osterfel

The mirror that women trust most is the eyes of a man. Sigmund Graff.

Love cannot be rejected, for it is the food of our existence. If you refuse it, you will die of hunger, looking at the branches of the tree of life laden with fruits and not daring to pick these fruits, although here they are - just stretch out your hand. All knowledge consists, first of all, in the ability to listen to the voice of one’s own soul. Paolo Coelho.

A woman is created in order to love her, and not in order to understand her. Oscar Wilde.

Love understands and shares everything - with sympathy, finds and seeks goodness in everything. Love forgives even hardness of heart and excuses the condemner. The hardest task of love is to forgive the absence of it in others, to find an excuse for intolerance, to forgive someone who himself does not know how to forgive. There is no more comforting and wonderful sight in the world than love, overshadowing the greatest crime - the absence of love. Section topic: wise thoughts, words about love.
