I'm the Quote Queen! :-) I write a newsletter called "Wisdom News" and each week we have a topic - this is the week on the topic of "love." If you want to sign up, go to my site: http://www.coffeytalk.com
Love
"Love is the central flame of the universe, nay, the very fire itself." -Ernest Holmes
Of course, during this Valentine's week, our focus is on "love."
What else is there, really? A Course in Miracles says that there
are only two things in this life - love and fear... and when it all
comes down to it, there is really just love. For just a little word,
LOVE is a huge concept. Love is our greatest motivator, our deepest inspiration. No wonder love is so often associated with fire, and desire, and burning passion. It warms us, heals us, frees us.
-Lissa Coffey
"We may think of the Divine as a fire whose outgoing warmth pervades the Universe."
-Plotinus
Many people say God IS love. And love certainly pervades the Universe. Love is something we all understand, something we can all relate to. Every mother knows what it means to love a child. Every person is capable of giving and receiving love. In A Course in Miracles, fear is defined as the absence of love. Much like darkness is the absence of light. Let's light that fire, and light up the world with our outpouring of love!
-Lissa Coffey
"Love is a fire and I am wood."
-Rumi
Love has been the subject for poets throughout the ages. In
contemporary times, think of how many songs we hear that are all about love! According to the lyrics, "Love is all there is," and "Love can move mountains." Love brings us to the movies, where we can see love acted out larger than life and feel our emotions stir. We are drawn to love because that is what we all crave more of. And we crave love because that is what we are made of! Love brings us to our true nature. We are consumed by it because we want to know who we really are, and love allows us to experience that.
-Lissa Coffey
"All's love, yet all's law."
-Robert Browning
Love and Law are two sides of the same coin. Everything is love, and at the same time, everything has that organizing power that we can totally count on. There is a reason why we love someone or something. There is a creative purpose to our love. We are not under some spell like the characters in "A Midsummer Night's Dream." We love who we love because God, the Universe, brought us together to learn and grow and experience
more of our Selves. Love is divine, and yet love is totally practical.
-Lissa Coffey
"Some day, after we have mastered the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness... the energies of love. Then, for the second time in the history of the world, we will have discovered fire."
-Pierre Tielhard de Chardin
Is there anything more powerful than love? Love is creative; with love we can accomplish anything. With love we have accomplished everything! Love is the great up-lifter, the strongest force there is. Love heals. Love grows. Love is the basis for life itself. Love is invisible, and yet ever-present. Love is the most valuable gift we will ever give or receive, and yet love is perfectly free.

You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love. ~ Henry Drummond
Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking together in the same direction. ~ Antoine De Saint Exupery
Love doesn’t make the world go `round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile ~ Franklin P. Jones
Find the person who will love you because of your differences and not in spite of them and you have found a lover for life. ~ Leo Buscaglia
Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly, and without expectation...We don’t love to be loved; we love to love. ~ Leo Buscaglia
Kiss slowly, love deeply, forgive quickly. Life is too short to be anything but happy. So take chances, give everything and have no regrets.
Never leave the one you love for the one you like, because one day the one you like will leave you for the one they love.
‘’Be very careful if you make a woman cry, Because God counts her tears, the woman came out of the mans rib, not from his feet to be walked on; not from his head to be superior, but from the side to be his equal, under his arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved.’‘

What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson~
When you love someone, all your saved-up wishes start coming out. ~ Elizabeth Bowen ~
The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love and be loved in return. ~ "Unforgettable with Love" by Natalie Cole
Soul meets soul on lover's lips. ~Percy Bysshe Shelly ~
I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for their religion - I have shudder'd at it. I shudder no more. I could be martyr'd for my religion. Love is my religion And I could die for that. I could die for you. ~ John Keats ~

If our love was a beautiful rose, we would be surrounded by a garden. (Or something like that XD - I have more... but I the list would be endless.)
