Great Quotes
“The more you make a relationship about what you’re getting, the weaker the relationship is. An intimate relationship is not a place you go to get things; if you do that, you’re always going to be disappointed. It’s a place you go to give. If you can fall in love with someone so much that you live to light them up, and lighting them up lights you up, done deal.” – Tony Robbins

Great Quotes
“Evil people often don’t realize that they’re evil. They don’t recognize what “evil” means. They justify selfish actions as reasonable, and don’t notice or care that they hurt others unnecessarily. A degree of darkness exists in every life, every mind, every heart. Our job is to love, accept, forgive, support, celebrate, delight, and shine so brilliantly that others learn to distinguish the darkness from light.” – Shaun Roundy
Great Quotes
“Your two core fears are: 1. The fear of failure (the fear you won’t be good enough) and 2. The fear of loss (the fear your life won’t be good enough). The fear of failure is about feeling insulted, unloved, unvalued, unappreciated or unwanted. The fear of loss is a fear that you won’t have what you need, want or deserve, so you feel mistreated, cheated, robbed, short-changed or taken from at some level.”- Kim Giles
Great Quotes
“You realize that on that small spot, that little blue and white thing, is everything that means anything to you. All of history and music and poetry and art and death and birth and love, tears, joy, games, all of it on that little spot out there.” – Russell Schweickart, Apollo 9 astronaut
Great Quotes
“We fight our most brutal battles entirely within the deepest confines of our own minds in a place where nobody else, however compassionate or well-meaning, can come close to reaching. Friends can cheer you on, people who love you can show their concern and affection constantly…in the end, it doesn’t matter, you’re still alone. If you can’t save yourself, it can’t be saved. I wish I’d realized this sooner, it would’ve saved me years of grief.” – Kirt Manwaring

Great Quotes
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.” – C.S. Lewis
Great Quotes
“Everyone thinks forgiveness is a lovely idea until he has something to forgive.” – C.S. Lewis

Great Quotes
“What is commonly called ‘falling in love’ is in most cases an intensification of egoic wanting and needing. You become addicted to another person, or rather to your image of that person. It has nothing to do with true love, which contains no wanting whatsoever.” – Eckhart Tolle
Great Quotes
“Without love intelligence is dangerous; without intelligence love is not enough.” – Ashley Montagu

Great Quotes
“Life is kinder to those who love themselves, because love attracts love and light, and repels and dispels darkness.” – Shaun Roundy
Great Quotes
“So much of our lives is spent in a longing and a search – for what, we do not know. So many of our ostensible “goals,” so many of the things we think we want, turn out to be the masks behind which our real desires hide; they are symbols for the actual values and qualities for which we hunger. They are not reducible to physical or material things, not even to a physical person; they are psychological qualities: love, truth, honesty, loyalty, purpose – something we can feel is noble, precious, and worthy of our devotion. We try to reduce all this to something physical – a house, a car, a better job, or a human being – but it doesn’t work. Without realizing it, we are searching for the Sacred. And the sacred is not redcucible to anything else.” – Robert A. Johnson
Great Quotes
“When we fear, it is because we are not perfect in love. The less love, the more fear.” – Maxwell
Great Quotes
“I’ve always loved you, and when you love someone, you love the whole person, just as he or she is, and not as you would like them to be.” – Leo Tolstoy
Great Quotes
“Even After All this time, The Sun never says to the Earth, “You owe me.” Look What happens With a love like that, It lights the whole sky.” – Hafiz
Great Quotes
“They say we are what we eat. I think it’s much deeper than that. I think we’re the songs we sing. The movies we love to watch. The bed we sleep in. The chairs we work in. The friends we speak with. The cars we drive in. The flowers we gather. I think that’s why spending some time in pristine nature is so valuable. May we surround ourselves with organic beauty and soak in the rays of light.” – Nathan Sinclair Vineyard
Great Quotes
“Life is showering its gifts upon us at this very moment. There is a force of love and light that is streaming, rushing, pouring toward us from all angles at all times. All we have to do is to let it in.” – Alan Cohen
Great Quotes
“Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.” – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
