Idea and belief are the very antithesis of love

---

If you are jealous, competitive, envious, ambitious, you will never know what love is

---

Is it love when there is complete identification with another? And is not this identification a roundabout way of giving importance to oneself?

---

Love does not compel, either openly or through the subtle threats of duties and responsibilities

---

Love does not demand a thing from a wife, a husband. Love demands nothing: physically, emotionally, intellectually. Love is not to follow another. Love is not to have a concept and pursue that concept. Love is not jealousy. Love has no power- in the ordinary sense of that word. Love does not seek position, status, power. It has its own capacity, its own skill, its own intelligence

---

Love is a strange thing; as long as thought is woven through it, it is not love

---

Love is an extraordinary thing; without it, life is barren

---

Love is its own action, its own eternity

---

Love is not a thing to be planned and cultivated; it cannot be bought through sacrifice or worship

---

Love is the only way out of man's confusion and sorrow, not the efficient organisations that he puts together

---

The totality of love is not within the measure of the mind; and to know that totality, the mind must be empty of its occupations, however noble or self-centered

---

To love is to experience all things, but to experience without love, is to live in vain

---

To love is to have no sorrow, no fear, no desire for fame

---

To love, the desire for success, for power and position must cease. One can't have both

---

Using another as a means of satisfaction and security is not love

---

Without love you cannot comprehend cruelty
