Love is of three sorts - one demands, but gives nothing; the second is exchange, and the third is love without thought of return ,love like that of the moth's for the light  Swami Vivekananda    Love is higher than works, than yoga, than knowledge.  Swami Vivekananda    Love is beyond time and space, it is absolute  Swami Vivekananda    The first test of love is that it knows no bargaining  Swami Vivekananda    Pure love has no motive. It has nothing to gain  Swami Vivekananda    Love never comes until there is freedom. There is no true love possible in the slave  Swami Vivekananda    Love opens the most impossible gates. Love is the gate to all the secrets of the universe  Swami Vivekananda    We get misery in return for our love - not from the fact that we love, but from the fact that we want love in return  Swami Vivekananda    If I love you, because you love me, that is mere trade, a thing to be bought in the market; it is not love  J.Krishnamurti    You want t o be loved, because you do not love; but the moment you love, it is finished, you are no longer inquiring whether or not somebody loves you  J.Krishnamurti    A society without love is like a land without rivers, it is as a desert; but where there are rivers the land is rich, it has abundance, it has beauty  J.Krishnamurti    Love is factual, it is not emotional, something to be cried over; it is not sentiment. Love has no sentimentality about it at all -  Swami Vivekananda    Love will arise in your heart when you have no barrier between yourself and another, when you meet and observe people without judging them, when you just see the sailboat on the river and enjoy the beauty of it  J.Krishnamurti    To love is the greatest thing in life; and it is very importan to talk about love, feel it, to nourish it, to treasure it, otherwise it is soon dissipated, for the world is very brutal  J.Krishnamurti    Love in its own eternity, and where there is love, there is no evil power  J.Krishnamurti    You know when you love something completely with your whole being, that love is not sentimental, it is not duty, it is not divided as physical or divine  J.Krishnamurti    If you love there is no need for discipline, is there ?  J.Krishnamurti    Men do not know what it is to love. If they did, they wouldn't talk about it so glibly  Swami Vivekananda    Love is the expression of one's values, the greatest reward you can earn for the moral qualities you have achieved in your character and person, the emotional price paid by one man for the joy he receives from the virtues of others.  Ayn Rand    But love is blind, and lovers cannot see. The pretty follies that they themselves commit.  Shakespeare    The magic of our first love is our ignorance that it can ever end.  Disraeli    Love never claims, it ever gives, love ever suffers, never resents, never revenges itself.  M.K.Gandhi    Love begets love, respect reciprocates.  Rig Veda    First love is a kind of vaccination which saves a man from catching the complaint a second time  Honore De Balzac    True love is eternal, infinite and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations, it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart.  Honore de Balzac    When povertie comes in at doors, love leaps out at windows.  John Clark    Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all of an end.  Madame de Stall    Love in relationship is a purifying process as it reveals the ways of the self. Without this revelation, relationship has little significance  J Krishnamurti    Love is something that is fresh, new, alive. It has no yesterday and no tomorrow  J Krishnamurti    They always speak of the rights of love, but love's only right is the right of self-giving Mother Mirra    Without self-giving there is no love; but self-giving is very rare in human love which is full of selfishness and demands Mother Mirra    In its essence, in its origin, love is like a flame, a white flame which overcomes all resistances Mother Mirra    Love is like a flame that changes what is hard into something malleable and even sublimates this malleable thing into a kind of purified vapour --it does not destroy, it transforms Mother Mirra
