To be among people one loves, that's sufficient; to dream, to speak to them, to be silent among them, to think of indifferent things; but among them, everything is equal.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Life is to be fortified by many friendships. To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness of existence.
To feel much for others and little for ourselves; to restrain our selfishness and exercise our benevolent affections, constitute the perfection of human nature.
Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness.
Live and allow others to live; hurt no one; life is dear to all living beings.
We love in others what we lack in ourselves, and would be everything, but what we are.
Love... it surrounds every being and extends slowly to embrace all that shall be.
Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them, for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves.
To love is to believe, to hope, to know; Tis an essay, a taste of Heaven below!
A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don't function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick.
Like everybody who is not in love, he thought one chose the person to be loved after endless deliberations and on the basis of particular qualities or advantages.
